I enjoyed a movie "Before I Met You" last night. It made people laugh first and then cry. When laughing, they raised their eyebrows like the heroine. Movie, highly recommended.

By chance, I heard about Jojo Moyes, a contemporary British writer of inspirational emotional novels for women, especially after "Before I Met You" was adapted into a movie, won the 2006 National People's Choice Award for Best Feature Film .

The background music of the film is simply too good, whether it is Not today-Imagine Dragons or Photograph-Ed Sheeran, it is so apt to the theme of the film,

Not today-Imagine Dragons She just appeared in front of my eyes and made me feel alive and free
Photograph-Ed Sheeran Love can hurt

Every piece of background music hits people's hearts directly, making you want to reminisce over and over again.

Will is handsome, from a wealthy family, and has a very high passion for life. He is involved in skiing, swimming, diving, and all extreme sports. However, a car accident changed his life.

Before meeting Clark, he was so good, and after the car accident, he was inferior and autistic.

After meeting Clark, he slowly showed a smile and was willing to communicate with Clark.

If it weren't for the car accident, Will and Clark would never have met in this life. Because of their different status, different living environments, and different worlds they've seen, they wouldn't have a common language at all.

After the car accident, Will only had two hands to move, and the rest needed help from others, so Clark came to Will.

Will and Clark do not get along well. Will is domineering and prohibits Clark from chattering; when watching movies, he orders Clark to watch with him; he frowns or smiles at Clark's exaggerated costumes.

Let's look at Clark again, born with a pair of eye-catching eyebrows, she is enthusiastic and considerate towards her work; she is always considerate towards strangers; she is outspoken towards Will, staying here for money and life; When it comes to dressing, she has her own unique aesthetic and self-confidence...

I have to say that Clark's costumes are exaggerated and funny, but it makes us feel her love for life from her clothes.

Before meeting Will, she hadn't traveled far, only a life of two points and one line.

After meeting Will, she learned to dive, watch horse racing, listen to concerts, and go to Paris to study... These are all new beginnings for her, because of Will, she opened the door to a new world.

Will understands the kind Clark and is willing to help her live a new life, rather than letting himself drag Clark down.

Clark's birthday, her boyfriend gave her a necklace, but Will gave her a pair of bumblebee black and yellow striped tights, just because when they chatted, Clark said he liked the bumblebee tights from his childhood.

Will knew Clark and was willing to give her a favorite gift. Clark was ecstatic, while the boyfriend beside him was confused.

I hope Will can give up the idea of ​​"euthanasia" and live with Clark, but Will will not be so selfish, he wants to give Clark a new life.

This kind and attentive man left Clark a sum of money and let her go to Paris to pursue her dream, and he will always be by Clark's side.

The film is very warm and abusive, warmed by the two of them getting along and warmed by Clark's carelessness. At the same time, when Will told Clark to end his life, when Clark refused to go to Switzerland, at the end, Clark lay beside Will. When Clark started a new life in Paris...I couldn't hold back my tears from the ending.

A good movie can cause us a lot of thinking, about life, about dreams, about the interaction between people, about love...

It ends with what Will said to Clark:

"I know it would be nice to live like this, but it's not 'my life', not at all. You've never seen me the way I used to be, I loved my life, really loved it. I can't be The kind of person who can take it all in. I can't tie you to me, I don't want you to miss out on everything other people can give you, and more selfishly I don't want one day you look at me and feel even the slightest regret or It's pity, I can't live like this, I have to make an end of myself, no more pain and despair, not every morning when I open my eyes and hope this day will pass immediately."
