Many of the people who watched it said that the movie made them cry. I wondered to myself that, as a person with many emotions and tears, there is no intention or impulse to shed tears. Is there anyone who is not as violently moved as I am? Raise your hand and I'll appreciate it because having company makes me feel less out of the ordinary.
I had an appointment with a university teacher yesterday and talked to her about my confusion. Her opinion led me back to my original position. I'm glad I didn't get too far from my original self in the midst of the annoyance.
Everyone is alive, Liz, her friends, her sister, her parents, everyone is alive in various ways. Liz can live a wonderful life because she knows what she wants, knows how hard she works and has action.
This is not to say that the people around Liz are not as good as her, wonderful is also a self-defined word. If you're comfortable with your choices and enjoy your life, you're wonderful, and you don't have to go to Harvard to be wonderful.
The story is inspirational, but to some extent but not in a good way. Because Liz's control group are all negative, pessimistic and angry people, this seems to narrow the path of inspiration and bias the dimension of success.

Maybe I'm too calm now, like Liz's feeling in the film, Leng Jian.
