It turns out that Rory always knew

On the last day of 11 years, what this movie brought to me was crying.
When I heard from the nurse that Rory knew that he was dead soon, tears burst into my eyes. At this time, recalling the previous scenes, many places have been explained:
When Michael first discovered that Rory could understand his "language" and called it "gift", Rory coldly felt ridiculous and even angry; in the bridge In the rain, Rory said to Michael: You have a future, you have the whole world, this is the gift; Siobhan asked Rory: Why you always have trouble with everyone; including all the previous extreme and cynical performances, all of this Because R always knew that he would not live long.
but why? Why did Rory know that his ending was still alive so hard? It seems that he has the opportunity to create his own future: even if Michael is asked to help with difficulty, he still has to keep his hair style; his father is not rich anymore, Rory still asks for money to buy a suit; knowing that Michael is totally unwilling, he still persuades He went to his consultant dad; even if he was in a wheelchair, he still had to enjoy the same joy as ordinary people on the dance floor.

If it is said that in Shawshank's salvation, the hero has always been supported by hope, then what is supporting Rory? I repeatedly wondered about Rory's mind, where is the power coming from? Knowing that he has no future, no hope, but never surrendered.
I didn't find the answer that convinced me, but I believed in the existence of this kind of power, and was moved by this kind of power. I was so moved that I cried for ten minutes.

Even the future possessed by a patient with paralysis is a kind of gift in Rory's eyes. What reason do I have to live without effort?

Rory O'Shea Was Here quotes

  • Michael Connolly: [Siobhan is interpreting Michael's words] When I first met Rory I thought he was trouble. And I was right. He *is* trouble. Yet because he is seen as a rebel, you believe he hasn't the responsibility to live independently. But how do you learn to be responsible? You live in the world. You make your own decisions. You make your own mistakes. So if this panel can offer independent living to someone like me who until recently had no concept of what that meant, and refuse someone whose very life is an embodiment of independence, then I believe that the panel showed a prejudice.

  • Rory: [looking at Michael] You have the future, Michael. That's what *I* call a gift.
