Can't choose who likes you
Kathryne 2022-04-20 09:01:19
There are very few movies that can become classics in that genre, and this is one of them. The slowly advancing plot, realistic and suspenseful, can lead the audience along. The heroine's shape is very suitable for the needs of this movie, with a simple face, but also neurotic features. As a crazy, extreme fan, and a successful writer, the two can exist on their own. The problem is that after they meet, like a chemical reaction, this kind of plot will happen immediately. Maybe the last female waiter is also a fan of this type, but there is no such special, coincidental encounter between them, and then they are at peace with each other. Life is like this, the plot is something you can't refuse, and you can't choose who can like you. There are no good guys or bad guys in this movie, it's just that they are together.

Paul Sheldon: [holding a rolled-up page of his manuscript] Remember how for all those years, nobody knew who Misery's real father was, or if they'd ever be reunited? It's all right here. Does she finally marry Ian, or will it be Winthorne? It's all right here.
[lights a match and with it, lights the page]
Annie Wilkes: Paul you can't!
[drops her glass]
Paul Sheldon: [Still holding the burning page] Why not? I learned it from you.
[Puts the burning page down onto his manuscript, already on the floor, burning it]
