One of the manifestations of depression is not interested in everything and hopeless in everything. Veronika said that she will meet a gentle man, they will make love a lot of times in the first year of marriage, and then less and less in the second and third years, and will have a child when there is no passion at all. After repaying the mortgage, I gradually became a workaholic. My husband had a lover to quarrel, and my husband had a second lover and pretended not to know... These words caught my heart because I imagined my future in the same way. Seeing this, I am very interested in this film, to see how it solves this problem that also troubles me.
After being saved by suicide, Veronika was told that she did not have many days to live due to illness. In the mental hospital she met Edward, a young man who lost his girlfriend in a car accident and became unable to communicate with the outside world. Maybe it's because of the pure eyes of other worlds. Edward attracted Veronika. After experiencing the piano room incident, V and E fell in love.
It was the desire between the two that gave V new motivation for life, and she didn't want to die. Wanting to live or want to die sometimes changes just because of a man. But wouldn't this man become the gentle man V imagined at the beginning? Temporary passion and true love will take time to distinguish. And true love is a product of the will of responsibility.
The story ends when the two fall in love, what about afterwards? What happens after marriage? It's like Cinderella always takes the happy ending of the two people's happy life.
A happy life is not about dropping a prince charming from the sky, but making yourself a princess and turning the man you meet into a prince charming. If Veronika can feel the happiness of life only because she meets a man, and builds her own life and happiness on the outside world, then this happiness is fleeting. Life is beautiful not because it is beautiful in itself, but because we work hard to create beautiful happiness in the cruel real world. It's like drawing a beautiful picture with your own strength on a blank paper. The desire for life and the world, let us evolve into better people.

    You almost touched me! What is so arrogant about a quack doctor and kind father... The backlit of that piano scene was so comfortable, but masturbation is unnecessary, right?

  • Mari: You know, I heard you last night. playing the piano in a way I've rarely heard before. I recognized that you played with so much soul because you know you're going to die. I thought, 'I'm going to die. Where's my soul?' I lost it... to a husband and a job and a house I never had the courage to leave. Now, today I feel it again.

    Veronika: I wasn't myself last night. Or maybe I really was. Nothing makes any sense anymore.

    Mari: Some people go their whole lives searching for one moment like the one you had, and never achieve it. You had a thousand in you.

  • Dr. Blake: These days most people have replaced almost all their emotions with fear, and everyone has dreams but only a few realize them - makes cowards of the rest of us.
