Is love the salvation of life...?

I remember when I was in middle school, during the summer vacation, there was often a special sale at Xinhua Bookstore, where some of the books in stock were sold at a discount, usually 3-5% off, and some were higher or lower. There are no best-selling authors or popular works, but there will be many classics, such as "Gone with the Wind" and "Tess", or very rare niche books such as "I Sit on the Piedra River and Weeping" and "Veronica Decided to die." I remember that my mother would always find a place to sit down and wait for me. I plunged into the vast hall alone, searching rows after rows. Looking for the shells you want from the vast sea of ​​books and even finding pearls, this process makes me extremely excited.
When I saw the movie "Veronica Decided to Die", I remembered these clips from ten years ago. To be honest, I don't remember the content of this book at all, because I have only read it once. The advantage of this is that you will not be affected by the work when you watch the movie.
It is independent.
I like to see Edward sitting on a tree: the sun is sunny but not violent, touching the trunk, you can feel the rhythm of warm life, the wind blows the branches, the shadow of the leaves whirling, the smell of trees in the air, the distance isolates the dunya The hustle and bustle. Mental hospitals are actually a good place to rest. Ordinary hospitals are terrible. Hospitalization means that something is wrong with your physical body. The pain and fear are enough to kill your soul. Unlike psychiatric hospitals, you can just stay out of work and not be on time. Eat, as long as you are good, the medical staff will not be difficult for you, except for injections and medicine, you have a lot of time to take care of your soul: dialogue with nature, looking back on the past, questioning the universe...

Veronica is a petite and charming blonde The girl, has a well-paid job and loved her parents. She was once a top student at the Juilliard School of Music. She plays the piano well.
But she decided to die.
Because she is not happy.
At the beginning of the movie is Veronica’s monologue, which is the future life she wants to see: meeting a man with good conditions that his parents like, getting married, from crazy sex to losing sex with each other; when a child is born, her husband cheats, and she loses control from sadness. , To completely don't mind...
This is the life of our mainstream society. The vast majority of people live in this mode, and tacitly pretend that they don't know the existence of this mode.
It's too hypocritical and too sad.
No doubt Veronica is the kind of person who doesn't want to pretend. She can't even stand the fashion slogan "green is the new black", so she decided to die. Dr. Blake said that the only possibility to cherish life is to realize that every day is a miracle. In the end Veronica realized it because she had found a man who truly loved each other. ——Such a good work, it is so unlovable by this ending.

Love is love again.
I often wonder, is the feeling of love being over-exaggerated by humans? Are we expanding its role intentionally or unintentionally, to numb ourselves through the pain of reality, and give ourselves a reason to survive? Because people who have truly loved should realize that in love, apart from the joy of being in love, there are many heavy and sad parts. In our literary works, we always regard love as the happy end of the story. Isn't it too obstructive?
——How do you feel?
——Like I could live forever.
I think of the signature of an 18-year-old netizen many years ago: As long as we are in love, we are immortal.
Yes, at that moment, I also believe it is like this.

The most recent table is Spain's popular forward Villar, with black hair and white shirt, turning his head to stare at us outside the camera. I was looking at him muttering: Do you think I will meet someone , like you Be smart, cute, honest, and responsible to family Do you think there is really a perfect guy for me Eh????
Bibi silently watching While watching me, I shed tears quietly, but not for someone. I don’t believe that love is the source of all salvation, even if I am a hopeless romantic; I firmly believe that the ultimate salvation is to pursue dreams, to follow the voice of my heart, as the French people most often say, to maximize To enjoy life.
In fact, the end I hope is that Veronica didn't die, but because she realized that every sun rises and the moon sets are beautiful, even if there is not a nervous handsome guy by her side.

    "Have you forgotten me..." "...Ve...Nika"

    The hard-fought mandarin duck version of Feiyue Mental Hospital. A white lie, the reversal at the end is quite unexpected, the rhythm in the middle is a bit strange, love comes too fast like a tornado, the first few narrations are fooled, a little lazy, and if you polish it, maybe you can be nominated for an Oscar or something. I thought it was a more decisively depressing film than "Ove", but I didn't expect that life was redeemed in love, and it deceived me again! Gan! If one day Veronica finds out the truth, what will happen What about the end?

Veronika Decides to Die quotes

  • Dr. Blake: In order to lose someone, you must first experience authentic attachment. Now, if Edward could recover normal affect to the point where he'd be capable of genuine loss, I think I'd consider that my finest hour as a doctor.

  • Claire: If someone with only a short time to live, spends it watching a man sleeping, I'd say that's love.
