At first, I was attracted by the scene of the two snuggling in the stills, and then the adaptation of real events, coupled with the appearance of the male and female protagonists, made me open this movie. First of all, the storyline is roughly as follows: Robin, the male protagonist who is sunny and loves sports, meets Diana, the beautiful female protagonist who is a little cold at a play party, and the two quickly fall in love and get married. Diana followed Robin to Kenya, and it can be seen from the statements of friends that everyone envies the couple. However, after a game, Robin virus contracted polio, also known as polio, and could only survive on a ventilator. At first in the hospital, he told his friends "let me die". It is conceivable that for those who will lie in bed for the rest of their lives and rely on external forces to survive, it takes a lot of effort to ignite the courage to live. With the encouragement of their wife Diana, they left the hospital and returned home, alternating between manual and electric ventilators, and began the rest of their lives. Robin came up with the idea of installing a ventilator into a wheelchair from his son's push of a stroller, and asked his professor friend to design it. With this, they can go to enjoy the scenery and visit friends in the hospital. And Robin also explained to everyone with his own personal experience that patients with severe disabilities can also have more hope of living.
However, living on a ventilator for a long time, his pleura wears down, causing bleeding, and he may even die in a pool of his own blood. So there was a farewell party and Diana's brave letting go.
The film is an adaptation of their son Jonathan (the producer) who chose to live and see him grow up as a tribute to his parents. The hero and heroine have all the qualities that the hero of a romantic love story should have, such as sunshine, handsomeness, humor, beauty, independence, and tenacity. Even after such a big change, they still face life in their own humorous way. For example, the couple will often joke about each other, Diana: Poor Robin, paralyzed for a lifetime. Robin: Yeah, I heard his poor wife was a saint. Diana: She is indeed a saint. Robin: Very beautiful saint. They venture out on trips, go to parties, drink and talk with friends. "I don't want to just survive. I want to truly live." Robin's words not only expressed his voice as a disabled person, but also alerted us as normal people. Life is ever-changing, and we must learn to accept every challenge that comes with a state of mind that goes with the flow of things.
The thing that touched me the most about this movie is that when Robin chose to take his own life, he asked his wife and son to leave the house at 11:30 and be home by 12:00. Diana and her son were outside a cafe not far from home. The two of them held hands tightly together, and Diana said "Promise me, leave me some time to say goodbye to you", which made people instantly moved. They are all too powerful! !
