      To be or not to be:

      It is said that love is like lightning, it is courage, connection, and responsibility that make a person leave, and it is also courage, connection, and responsibility that form love. It is also love that makes them a better version of themselves, Jack abandons the past, Laurel abandons Xiao Ai. Their love is more than just love in a broader sense. The last look at each other is to respect and affirm each other's choices, but also to encourage each other, take care and say goodbye. the answer...

      watched in class

      The last time the teacher of the legal English class played this film. She said that she watched it many times and cried many times, but it was not very suitable for me, so I didn't feel too much. At the beginning, some plots always felt that the settings were a little inexplicable, but when you see the back, you will understand that this is all for the development of the later story.

But it can also be said that he did not kill him,...

      Run for the name to get something beyond the name

      The screenwriter has a certain skill , of
      course I see it, it is entirely because this name was
      recommended to me by a friend, I didn't tell the story, just based on the name, I also want to see the
      reason, of course,
      the screen name of the person I love is called this
      Ben . I went to see this movie for this purpose. The
      story is very compact, and I didn’t waste a single film. I wrote the scene
      and the mood.
      The story is progressing layer by layer
      ....
