I haven't read the original before watching the movie. I took the original in my hand at the beginning of the movie and flipped through a few pages.
She picked up the four packs of sleeping pills from her beside table.Instead of crushing them and mixing them with water, she decided to taken them one by one, because there is always a gap between intention and action, and she wanted to feel free to turn back halfway.With each pill swallowed, however, she felt more convinced: After five minutes the packs wew empty. The
movie began to be very loyal to the original, and then only watched the movie.
The original work describes depression, and the movie interprets depression. The beginning of the story is enveloped by the dim luster. I can't tell what it feels like, I just think Veronika will really die, but I don't want that.
That lunatic asylum seemed incompatible with Veronika. Because of long-term depression and long-term depression, I chose to commit suicide. It seems that I only need to see a psychiatrist. It should have nothing to do with mental illness. If you have come, you will be safe, and the story will continue.
There are all kinds of people in the lunatic asylum, and Edward doesn't look like a mentally ill person, the same, just see a psychiatrist. As soon as he appeared, it made people think that the male lead was this person, and I had doubted whether it was the doctor before.
After seeing the first side of V, E has already begun to change. Love at first sight may be used here. In my opinion, this movie reflects on society and humanity, and at the same time praises love. On the surface, love makes two people escape from the lunatic asylum and start a normal life, which is also not allowed by the world.
After reading a story, a girl said: Live to 25 years old and then die. I'm only 20 years old, and 25 years old is probably the best time in my life. When I read this sentence around 17 years old, I didn't understand it very much. Life was monotonous and simple at that time. Even if you are facing higher education, there is not too much pressure, even if you are divided into classes, there is no change in the atmosphere of the experimental class is still very harmonious. But later, facing frustration, the thought of leaving is a kind of relief once surrounded me. In the summer of 18, staying up all night like crazy. In the end, after all, there is still no courage to act. For this world, there is still nostalgia, so I still cannot understand the mentality of suicides. At the age of 25, I still choose to live. At that time, the dream of my own choice had not yet been realized.
Regarding love, I don't have a say. Except for the fruitless scene, I haven't experienced much. More often, I'm just a spectator, watching my friends' divisions and reunifications, and every time I complain about their messing around, I always attract meaningful contempt. Only through experience will I understand that this sentence is becoming more and more true. To be honest, during the process of the movie, I didn't even understand when they had feelings and when they confirmed their love. I hope it will be clear when I finish reading the original book and come back to read it.
I do not deny that this is a romance film, nor do I deny that even if the ending is unexpectedly successful, it is always a repressive story. Even though the days after escaping from the lunatic asylum were cheerful, and in the end, I almost thought that Veronika would sleep like this, the sky was always gray and the bright color was missing.
Even knowing that she will die soon, Veronika chose to stand with Edward in the end because of her so-called love.
Maybe this is love. Without experience, I will never understand.
