A moment when fate meets

Cliff Owen, the most masculine face I have seen so far, is the most suitable for appearing in "Beyond the Boundary" with such a face. Angelina Jolie played the role of Sarah, a well-dressed married woman from the upper class in London. At a luxurious party, she was deeply moved by the passionate speech of Dr. Nick who suddenly broke in to save the African victims, and she burst into tears. Picking up a banana thrown by someone in a prank, Nick said, "Thank you, this banana provides 300 calories, which is more than the calories of this African child in one day." As an audience, I couldn't help but feel tight. We turned a blind eye to it. How many living lives are waiting to be fed!

Sarah’s life trajectory has since changed, as described in Tagore’s poem: "Ah, I can’t stay in this house, because this home is no longer my home, because the eternal stranger is calling, and he is walking along the road. "She resolutely took the donated materials and set off to Africa, which is abject poverty and war. A big bird stopped in front of a child who was too hungry to escape, staring at it. It was based on a famous news photo, and the movie reproduced this scene in real life. Sarah and Nick's love seems to be destined, but the film has gone through a long period of foreshadowing, and after beautiful repression, the passion between them burst into love. The sense of family responsibility drove them to leave each other. Sarah silently collected bits and pieces of Nick's news from humanitarian aid news around the world. She has also grown into a well-known charity ambassador in the UK.

In the most dangerous place, there will always be Nick. This man who devotes himself to the cause of humanitarian assistance has the stubborn quality of giving up his life and forgetting his death. Because of this, Sarah could not let go. In order to rescue him, he went deep into the tiger's den until he was chased and killed by terrorists on the vast snow. One persuaded him to flee. , A person who does not hesitate to step on thunder to save the other person and die, like all great and tragic love, it must be death, in order to terminate the love, and also to continue the love. Nick, whose temples were stained with frost, found his and Sarah's daughter. The little girl played Schumann's piano like her mother, and Nick was deeply missed.

The touching humanitarian sentiment and the beautiful love with a high degree of spiritual consistency constitute the profound foundation of this film, which makes me have a fairy tale illusion--perhaps, in this duny world, is there really a moment when fate meets?

    faith and passion. what keep us viable. Never compromise.

    The high-class socialites who were rich in clothes and good food met and were touched by the fraternity and equality spirit of doctors who had been committed to humanitarian rescue in barren areas for a long time. The one-night romance in the flames of war eventually made her give up elegance and wealth to follow in the footsteps of doctors. In the eyes of the brave, the value of life is to look for (true love) beyond boundaries.

You remember that boy in London, JoJo?

    Nick Callahan: He was my first save, 10 years old. So thin he could barely stand. But he still found the strength the bury the rest of his family. We have no idea what courage is... He used to write me little notes. He helped me in the clinic. He was good. He was sweet, he was good. He wanted to be like me, I liked that. I mean, it was silly and childish, but it made me feel good about myself. So I took him with me to London, you know, my talisman, my courageous Africa... - pauses - How could I be so bloody stupid? How could I be so totally selfish? The point is... he was my friend. He had a name. So now I HAVE to remember him. If everybody I lose has a name...
