Adapted from a real event, the producer is still the protagonist's son Jonathan, the story is a bit dull. After the male protagonist got bone marrow gray matter, he chose to live for his wife. Decades later, his condition deteriorated and he chose to leave.
It can also be seen from the male protagonist's interpretation of the meaning of life. When the male protagonist was in the hospital, he was desperate for death, full of disinfectant, and the world of medical staff and patients meant nothing to him, and he was unwilling to face his wife and children at that time. But after moving to the home, seeing the free air of the flower and grass roof, the familiar friends, his eyes came alive. After that, his life has been greatly improved with the help of his friend's invention. Compared with the patients who have undergone tracheotomy in the hospital, undergo passive breathing, and cannot leave the hospital, he can travel abroad.
Two ideas provided by the film
1. When a person has a terminal illness, when does he choose to leave?
Robin did not leave when he could not take care of himself, and chose to leave decades later when his lung inflammation subsided. At this time, he has been with his wife and children for a long time, and he has no regrets. It has also brought hope to thousands of disabled people. And his own life has indeed come to an end, the torture of the living body is more terrifying than death.
2. How to leave?
I like Robin's frankness and his wife's understanding in the play. Before leaving, they held a parting party and told each other their hearts.
