Love Sacrifice and Giving

The sacrifice and giving
of love - "Love and Elixir"
is as
good as it feels. For love, Zhao Lihua once had this description: love can reflect a person's highest wisdom and lowest morality. As the monologue of "Chongqing Forest" said, "I don't know when it started, everything has a date on it, the saury will expire, the meat sauce will expire, and even the plastic wrap will expire. I began to suspect that this There is nothing in the world that will not expire." And the sublimation of love into love has never been guaranteed. Often, maintaining the freshness of love is a test of the lover's wisdom; at the same time, in the good and bad that are revealed to each other and magnified in getting along with each other day and night, the revealing of human nature will appear more clearly. And the director said that it is necessary to show precious love in complex relationships.
The male protagonist Jamie of the film is not only handsome in appearance, but also has a lotus tongue. He is a cute salesman. In the first part of the film, he used a lot of plots to pave the way for his casual romance. After meeting Maggie, a female patient with Parkinson's disease, in the hospital, a strangely intimate relationship began. However, Maggie's dexterity, thoughtfulness and stubborn self-esteem make Jamie unable to extricate herself. In the choice between fame and fortune and Maggie, who takes care of Parkinson's disease, Jamie finally chooses the former, staged a romantic comedy driven by love.
In the process of watching the movie, you may be moved by the feelings of the male and female protagonists. The husband of one of his wife's Parkinson's disease-stricken wife once told Jamie, "This disease steals everything you love about her: her body, her smile, her memories. Later: You have to clean up her excrement." Many times, but love is not marriage, and when given the responsibility and mission of lifelong care, it is understandable to shake or even escape. What's more, the love between the male and female protagonists with an ambiguous interval. So when Jamie was running around with her, desperately looking for a famous doctor, Maggie said: You want to cure me so much because you don't want to take care of me for the rest of your life.
A person who has been hurt by love, when she has love again, she will take love more seriously; however, when there is a crack in love again, she will value her self-esteem more than anything, even if she is reluctant. So, Maggie's reason for breaking up at the time was: I needed you more than you needed me, and it wasn't fair. This is a true and moving statement, but this is not to say that Maggie likes the thrill of self-sacrifice, but she understands that in a love that may wither, let go first, the emotional pain can at least be A lot of convenience. At this point, she is smart.
Although the plot behind the film is a bit old-fashioned, after Jamie watched the videotape, he decided to give up his future fame and beauty, and resolutely drove after Maggie's car, and then moved the other party. He said, you need someone to take care of you for the rest of your life, this is not what you asked for, but I voluntarily.
It was Maggie's words that moved him. In the video, Maggie said: I like the light and shadow on your face, the gentle breeze blowing by the bed, I don't care, there can be many more moments like this, or only this time, because , are equally happy, in fact, it is not bad, at least at this moment, I have all this.
For Jamie, as he said at the end of the film, everyone meets thousands of people, but none of them touch you, and then you meet someone, and your life changes completely, forever. What Maggie said was exactly what touched his heart, whether there were many such wonderful moments in the future, or just this one, however, it was all happiness. It is not easy to meet the right person in the vast crowd, not to mention that it can change your life. So in the film, he chose to sacrifice himself for love and made such a major decision. Maybe life will be beautiful, but the life behind the film can be imagined. However, he is not at a loss, because he also received the gift of love, a love that is beautiful, correct and life-changing.
Often, the sacrifice of love and giving are equivalent. Sometimes it seems that the sacrifice may be greater, but in my heart, giving may be worth sacrificing, because some things are worth remembering for a lifetime.

Jennifer"... whatever, and I'll do a big apology and I'll say, "I thought you were the Lisa who was mad at me for not calling".
