If love can make us see who we want to see

Every time I see Jenny, Eben will be amazed to find that she has grown up a lot. From childhood to death, Eben is fortunate to accompany Jenny through her life - the most beautiful love story, nothing more than this.

Whether Jenny is a human or a ghost is not a question that the film must explore. From the time Jenny appeared until she was swept away by the tsunami, apart from a silk scarf, there are many things that Eben can remember for a lifetime, like that intriguing song that can be remembered only once, like the romance before parting. It is enough to remember the night of a lifetime, and there are many laughter and laughter that Eben can't dream of, so, in the end, whether Jenny is a human or a ghost - for Eben, does it make any difference?

Eben has an extraordinary aura, as can be seen from his first painting scene, I think this is probably the reason why he was able to meet Jenny. I have always believed that Eben did not treat Jenny as a [soul]. He believed that Jenny was real. From the accident in the park to the separation of life and death in the tsunami, he was so in love that he asked him to accept that Jenny had already died. Fact, how cruel.

People are so insignificant, especially when compared with a city, a country, and the universe, a drop in the ocean. However, if there is anything that can penetrate people and the universe, I think it can only be [love]. Here, love makes two people from different eras, different backgrounds and even separated by yin and yang meet and fall in love, he saw her, she fell in love with him, then, what about tsunami, cross the ocean, poverty, death of parents, religion , even if they are separated from each other, will it have any effect on them? We always complain that our unrequited love is very bitter. Seeing our beloved and others show affection, our hearts feel as uncomfortable as shit, clinging to those who have lost, resenting those who cannot be obtained, and thinking of those who are not around us in the distance, maybe The one in your heart that he and she really no longer have the chance to come back to themselves, maybe the one he and she is happier in the arms of others, maybe you are really destined to live a lonely life for the one he and her - people can really live by memories. For a lifetime, as long as you still have [love], as long as you have enough [love], that person will always be in your heart.

Finally Eben asked Spearney, you believe I saw Jenny, right? Spearney replied: You believe, this is the key. Yes, you don't love someone to make others admire you for your greatness, or to be moved by your infatuation, but your own feelings. Others don't believe that others can't see, so what's their business?

In the same sentence, I always believe that Jenny in Eben's heart really exists and exists in his heart, even if it is just a dream, when he wakes up, Jenny is still there, living in his portrait.
