You don’t need anyone, you are independent

I can’t remember how long I haven’t experienced such a heavy and unspeakable mood. I want to shed tears, because of the stubborn and unyielding soul, but I want to smile, because of the unruly and naughty and strange words. Go, but the voice still echoed for a long time:

"Hey, how about going out for a stroll?" The rear compartment like a cage door slowly opened, and the boy with a punk haircut came to the rehabilitation center in a wheelchair. His brilliant smile and opening remarks: "Hey, I'mRory O'Shea! "It makes people feel like this is an optimistic person, and also regrets that he has been trapped in a wheelchair for life, only two fingers can move, but the attributes of Rory's poisonous tongue make him hard to be sympathized. There is a basket of meaty jokes, and he runs the train with his mouth full. , Swear words are flying all over the sky (insertion: Zhan Chicory, you are definitely acting in your true colors!), often say harsh words in a satirical tone, and playing deafening rock music in the middle of the night makes people feel a little unpleasant. This looks like an arrogance. An arrogant, rebellious teenager who doesn't care about others. After the carer forcibly turned off the speakers, Rory yelled: "Being able to hear music at least proves that they are fucking alive! ! "As Rory gasped in anger, these words circulated in my ear over and over again, Rory's hard shell seemed to be broken by the shout, allowing me to see a trace of the deep inside. The hero Michael came to recover in Rory. The center has been observing all the rules and order before, he can only make vague voices, but Rory can understand him, so Michael said that Rory has a wonderful talent (gift), and Rory repeats the word gift sarcastically. , But the expression became extremely complicated the moment they turned around. The two quickly became good friends. Rory taught Michael to use hairspray to comb his punk hairstyle and reshaped Michael’s style. During the fundraiser, Rory used the donated money belt Michael went to the bar, flirted with the girl, and drove the wheelchair into the ballroom, spinning and spinning wildly. The dazzling and colorful neon lights of the ballroom were shining in every corner. Rory's gray-blue eyes were bright and transparent. Yes, he was dancing, his eyes There is the dancing of the soul in his eyes, his eyes are full of prosperous dancing, he is reveling, howling, just like the dancers who are swaying their youth... The difference is that he sits motionless in a wheelchair. Rory Dead Body A soul yearning for freedom is imprisoned in his body, which brings him aura and misfortune. He hates the rules, and even the carers directors who represent the rules. Even if leaving the rehabilitation center will bring him to life It was extremely inconvenient, and even more at risk of accidental injury or even death. He still stubbornly applied for independent living qualifications every month. But his unruly personality put prejudice glasses on the jury, and Rory applied time and time again. He was rejected for no reason. The jury suggested that he come back in six months, and Rory exasperated and said, "Six months! "The second half was stuck in the throat, and the short shouts were accompanied by a star of bitterness and a star of sadness. Rory's tearful eyes were reflected, and the remaining sound disappeared. Only Rory's tightened eyebrows, suppressed, endured, those who have never been. The emotion of exit. In order to realize Rory’s wish, Michael himself applied for an independent living qualification and brought Rory out in the name of a translator. After several twists and turns, they finally got their own house and invited a kind-hearted man. Siobhan, a sweet-looking girl, takes care of her. Siobhan is taking care of her for the first time, and taking care of two disabled people at the same time makes her a little overwhelmed and often messy. Rory has become a little surly after being cold. So Siobhan had an argument with Siobhan. Siobhan tried Achieved some rules to make the family more organized, but Rory’s nature is free and unconstrained. He drove a wheelchair with the children in a skateboarding competition, and used only two movable fingers to drag the car in the alley, and was stopped by the police. Later, he deliberately angered him to "try" the feeling of being imprisoned, and then escaped. Siobhan, who was completely irritated by these incidents, had a quarrel with Rory. Rory said coldly: "I don't need you to teach me responsibility. Siobhan slammed the door away. Michael approached Rory from behind and wanted to say something. Rory whispered stiffly, "I don't need your help." He turned and drove out of Michael's sight-"I don't want anyone's help." "Rory's back is always leaning so straight, as if on his own, he is enough to support his world, the free, unrestrained, unrestrained world. Feel, then escape from prison. Siobhan, who was completely angered by these incidents, had a big quarrel with Rory. Rory said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me responsibility." Siobhan slammed the door away. Michael approached Rory from behind and wanted to say something. Rory whispered stiffly, "I don't need your help." He turned and drove out of Michael's sight-"I don't want anyone's help." Rory's back always leaned against him. To be so straight, it seems that on his own, he is enough to hold up his world, that free, unrestrained, unrestrained world. Feel, then escape from prison. Siobhan, who was completely angered by these incidents, had a big quarrel with Rory. Rory said coldly, "I don't need you to teach me responsibility." Siobhan slammed the door away. Michael approached Rory from behind and wanted to say something. Rory whispered stiffly, "I don't need your help." He turned and drove out of Michael's sight-"I don't want anyone's help." Rory's back always leaned against him. To be so straight, it seems that on his own, he is enough to hold up his world, that free, unrestrained, unrestrained world.

The kind-hearted Siobhan came back soon after abduction, and silently helped Rory take off his shoes and change clothes, and helped him go to bed to rest. Rory's big clear eyes stared at the ceiling without saying a word. After Siobhan turned off the lights and left, Michael, who was sleeping next door, told Rory of his love for Siobhan. Rory replied sharply that Siobhan was not sincere, but for the sake of the money. After that, he was silent as well, and seemed to feel something. . Perhaps, many things can only grow and ferment in the dark, digest and dissolve in the silence, and evaporate in the darkness, just like the light in Rory's eyes, closing his eyelids lightly after repeated silences, and finally being covered. Siobhan took Rory and Michael to her friend’s fancy dress party. Michael could no longer suppress his love for Siobhan, and asked to dance with her. Siobhan agreed, bent down and approached Michael in the wheelchair and shook with him. Swing. Michael couldn't help but hugged Siobhan tightly, and was roughly pulled away by another guy who admired Siobhan. Siobhan followed the guy and started a real dance. Michael quietly buried his head in his knees, and Rory was behind him. , I only saw Michael’s painfully shaking shoulders. Rory had a full view of what had just happened, but he was only silent in the hustle and bustle of the party, resting on the wheelchair in the crowd of people, with those blue eyes staring at him. It seems to be filled with the most complex emotions in the world, and it seems that there is nothing in it, looking at another world, a world that "normal people" can't feel...

Before going to bed at night Michael confided all his love to Siobhan. Siobhan was shocked and could only apologize to reject him. Michael's disabled body was twisting on the bed, expressing himself vaguely and desperately, tears wet the pillow, Siobhan was helpless Leaving, Rory next door heard all this, and he blinked, taking all emotions back into the depths of his eyes in the dark. Early the next morning, Siobhan hired a new caregiver to replace her. Michael blamed Siobhan for leaving and begged Siobhan to stay in pain. Rory asked Siobhan to get out. Siobhan was shocked and accused Rory of being an asshole. But Rory said to Michael, let her go and give herself some dignity. It was pouring rain outside, and when he heard Michael whimpering behind him, Siobhan also had tears in his eyes, but she rushed into the rain curtain without hesitation and left their world. I can’t help thinking of what Rory said to Michael on the bed earlier: "What can you give her? Accept your fate! Record your own ghost voice, look in the mirror to see what you are like!" If it's just a mockery, why did Rory finish these words? , There are tears in his eyes? So everything seems to be clear in the dim. These words of Rory are actually talking about himself. His heart has long been placed on the kind and innocent Siobhan. Michael has illusions and longings, but Rory does not. He has It’s just the cold words that warn myself over and over in the dark, and I use my sharp words to extinguish the flames of love that ignites in my heart. Some are just the passion for freedom like moths to the fire and the rigidity in the wheelchair. His body, so he chose to bury this feeling in his heart, letting that fierce corrosion of the heart. Michael chased it in the rain regardless. Rory looked up at the pouring rain. He knew his health well, but he just cursed and followed. Michael stood by the bridge, struggling to say something with broken sentences, and Rory faintly replied: "You are not the only one who is heartbroken." In Michael's surprised eyes, Rory looked at his friend and said, "You have a future, to me. Saying that is a gift from the heavens." "Don't give up." Rory said as he said, and he burst into tears without knowing it.

A few days later, late at night, Michael suddenly found that Rory on the bed had a high fever and was unconscious. The paramedics called an ambulance and took Rory away. Outside the ward, the doctor told Michael that Rory's lifespan was not long, and it was a miracle to be able to live to 20. He added: "He can't survive these two days... he knows it himself..." Michael stayed there. , And then resisted the tears and came to Rory’s bed. Rory opened his eyes weakly, still speaking humorously, but this time he changed into a strenuous and intermittent tone. He said: "Look here, Rory O' Shea is here." (implying that his life is about to end here) Michael tugged at the corners of his slanted mouth, used his twisted elbows to bring up his five curled fingers, and pointed to his heart—Rory O'Shea is here. Rory watched him silently, only a tear rolled from the half-closed blue pupils. After a while, Rory said in an almost whispering voice: "You don't need anyone." "Michael." "You are independent." Rory's fingers moved almost imperceptibly, and Michael seemed to be sensitive and stretched out with difficulty. With a bent arm, he grabbed Rory's remaining two fingers with an inflexible residual hand. Rory closed his eyes and smiled, and asked him if his audio tape was in place. With tears in his eyes, Michael made a decision in his heart.

After overcoming many difficulties, Michael came to the lawyer’s office with Siobhan to apply for an independent living qualification for Rory again. He wanted Rory to go without worry. When he left, he was a real, free soul. Independent posture, walk the last journey of life. What is responsibility? Responsible for the decisions you make and for the mistakes you make. If everything is under supervision and management, how can one learn to take responsibility? Rory is a person who is born to represent independence. When asked about the purpose of Michael's coming today, Michael has only one sentence: "In order to pursue the right to be independent." Everyone has the qualifications to live independently. No matter how limited the physical body is, there are also people with disabilities. They have the right to choose the life they want, they are willing to bear the consequences of their own decisions, and they are willing to continue to learn and grow from making mistakes. In this way, the disabled are actually no different from normal people, but the self-righteous protection of "normal people" The disabled have brought prejudice and soul imprisonment. Thank you to Rory for his courage and persistence in pursuing freedom like moths to the fire, and let his heart and inspiration touch the meaning of independence, independent in personality, independent in life, and psychologically. To be independent, the soul must also be independent. In this way, a person can be considered complete, and he can stand proudly between the heaven and the earth. When Michael and Siobhan happily came to the hospital holding Rory's independent life qualification certificate, they saw Rory's father sadly behind him, and he spread his hands with a pale face and bowed his head. So, the funeral, the eulogy, the relics, everything came so suddenly, a thin paper, after all, could not reach the hand of the young man who had pursued independence for his entire life but had nothing to gain. Only Michael in mourning clothes stared at the empty space in the silence of his life. The wheelchair, and the speaker next to the wheelchair that could not be delivered. I thought the sound would go off at this time to miss Rory, and then end the movie in the music, but suddenly a voice came out from the empty wheelchair: "Hey, how about going out?" Humorous and playful, with the characteristics of young people. His voice and familiar voice made people wet their eyes. Michael smiled and nodded and drove into the street in his wheelchair. At this time, he was indeed alone, huddled thinly in the wheelchair in the crowded street. But he was not at a loss, not uneasy. He doesn't need anyone. He is independent. Look up and watch the pigeons fly by in groups. Rory is right. He has a future. There are thousands of days and nights to perceive, pursue, experience, and dance a wonderful life in a wheelchair. The movie ended slowly, and outside the window, the blue sky was like washing, just like Rory's blue eyes. his words

————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————— So it's over... I couldn't express the exact and hazy feeling in my heart, so be it. The director said that the role of Rory is very complicated, and his speech is even more mean. Poor performance will bore the audience and deviate from the film’s original intention of "focusing on the disabled". Thank you James for his wonderful interpretation, which brings us a heart-wrenching and admirable performance. Teenager Rory.

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.
