Just love it too much

Similar movies, I will think of "A Day Without You". When the protagonist inside knew that he had only the last three months, he arranged eleven things for himself and completed them one by one. These include: find a suitable person for your husband and children to spend the rest of your life; let yourself love again; see your father and record blessings for your children until the age of eighteen...
There are subtle similarities in "After the Wedding" The point is: the protagonist inside arranges for his family to have a life without him. Despite the comparison between the two, the latter’s story is a little bit plain, and there is basically no place where the plot is intense and dizzying. The only emotional catharsis at the last moment, he cried in her arms, what a fucking bastard, fucking, I don't want to die, fuck, why is it me...The
white carnations hug him tightly, the white coffin, the look of silence is solemn and mourning the relatives and colleagues dressed in black... He still left, This is what he has always known.
He must love her very much. Although rarely expressed. For twenty years, he treated her as: always arrange all her life, no matter how big or small. He accepted the baby in her belly as if he had come out. He respected their mother and daughter and told her daughter on the 18th birthday that your biological father is not me, but I treat you the same. How many men can do this.
He has a successful career and a happy family. He has children and daughters under his knees. He treats his mother with care regardless of size and care. How many people have such a life.
Twenty years, enough to use one after another huge army to help her daughter find her own father, and enough for her wife to find her first love and open her heart. But he didn't.
I love you so much, every minute and every second, I don't want others to share it, and I lose it.

All this, until the moment he knew he was sick.
Why let the family see their sick, lazy face and painful and struggling face, and face the helplessness and grief of physical suffering? Just hide it by yourself.
If you know that you are destined to leave soon, then arrange the lives of your wives, daughters, and mothers, and choose a suitable person for them. Many years of happy family life, his wife and children are all dependent on his care and care, how to survive without him.
Therefore, the daughter's biological father, the wife's first love, became the best choice.
In the name of charity, he invited him back to China, let him attend the wedding of his daughter, let him know the truth. He procrastinated for time and allowed him to get along with his wives and daughters again, and everything was implemented gradually according to his ideas.
It's too much love to be like this. Personally put everything behind him, his favorites, in the hands of someone he thinks he can trust, and let him take his place. Everything seems the same. And in the end, he left. The person he invited over zips up his son. Everything seems familiar. The hands of the past have been asleep, and he, can he finally rest assured? Despite all the perseverance.

The performance of each person in the film is implicit and introverted, and the way the story is narrated is to touch people's hearts with subtlety that seems calm.
I noticed that the director often pointed close-ups at the eyes of facial expressions. Everyone had different eyes, and even the eyes of a deer head hanging in the living room... I
rarely saw so many close-ups focused on a certain part. Quiet Silent, but eyes are the only window to the spiritual world. Inside, I see clarity, quietness, calmness, sadness, pain, helplessness, sadness and fate.

Fate.
All happy people finally have an unhappy day.
It's very hateful, like he roared angrily: Why the fuck, why me.
But, nothing, possible, resistant, what. It's you.
In addition to smiling farewell, we can only arrange as much as possible to minimize the pain so that the wife, daughter, son and mother can go over as quickly as possible. To do this, it is not easy to say that.

It’s just that, while proving that anyone who leaves in this world can live anew, if there really is a heaven or a spirit in the sky. Was there a trace of sadness while he watched their happy days silently from above? This kind of life was once so close to him, so familiar.
All these different tastes, whether to live or to leave, their respective tastes, I am afraid, really cannot be surpassed, because no one can let himself choose, everything can only be handed over to fate.
