Love to me

If it wasn't recommended by a friend, I might have closed the movie 20 minutes after it started broadcasting. Because I already knew the summary of the story, I watched it dullly for an hour.

Until Mark's ventilator had a problem, the damn pencil used to dial the number fell to the ground at this time. Mark didn't want to give up, but he could do nothing.

At the time I was thinking, if I were the Mark lying in the ventilator, what would I do at this moment. Must be thinking: "Forget it if you die".

As a result, Mark was rescued, and because of this he added a close friend-Susan. Sue should be counted as the fourth supporting actress in this show.

For the sex therapist "Cher", I believe that there is such a profession that they receive due respect in a healthy and benign society. She has a beautiful son and a husband who understands and supports her work.

It's just that the fact that she fell in love with Mark made me a little bit at a loss. The relationship between the two of them is like the relationship between Hannah and the patient in the UK. She took care of him, understood him naturally, and fell in love with him logically.

After Mark's funeral, I didn't want to understand what kind of "love" was. When I woke up this morning, I thought of a sentence, Duras’s, to the effect of the following:

Love is to me, not a skin-to-kin, not a vegetable and a meal, it is an immortal desire, a heroic dream in a tired life .

Whether for Cher or Hannah, love is their desire and dream, right?

And feeling, like the sound of breathing throughout the film, though heavy, but endless, it sustains life.
