Life is passing by with joy

"I have been looking forward to something all my life
but I tried my best not to find it,
never approached where it might appear,
but suddenly
that damn thing bound my neck
...
You and you are the damn thing"

not like a movie poster Bright and warm, the movie itself is in a gray and cold tone from beginning to end.
In winter, on a cloudy day, the male protagonist's ever-changing gray coat, everything has an element of sadness, and even he himself is a pessimist.
From the moment the only sunshine in his life left him, I thought he would give up on himself, but the movie is always a movie. At this time, the heroine appeared. Not in a warm sunshine-like gesture, her life is also a mess. However, she is his sunshine.
Resistance is inevitable, he hurts her and she leaves. Until he understood, She is the one. It was
a little grey and humorous, clearly sad, but the music suddenly sounded, making people laugh at his ridiculous behavior. He drove a car and stumbled to the beach, looking for the one among thousands of stones. He only rotates counterclockwise, clockwise awkwardly.
It turned out not to be cold, but he didn't meet anyone who could give him warmth. Once encountered, he will do his best, even the extremely difficult changes for him and without avoiding it, he can do it for you.
Just because you are the end of all escape.

Vignette-like style. Does the director want to dedicate it only to those who like it?
It's not a touching story, it's not popular, it's not hypocritical, and it won't make people cry.
With a little humor, sadness exists, and the sun is always looming.
Not a tragedy, nor a comedy.
Not gorgeous, but ingenious, a simple conversation is very interesting.
Although gray, it can bloom with a smile.
The soundtrack is great and it's the icing on the cake.
It is a tea-like movie. The entrance is not very attractive, but you taste it slowly, leaving a fresh fragrance and endless aftertaste.

Although Rudy said that life is passing by with joy, this time, you finally did your best to keep it. You said, this time I won't let go for a lifetime.

    The tone of the movie is very consistent with the poster

Dedication quotes

  • Henry: I've spent my whole life... wanting something... and doing my very best not to find it. Never even going near the places it might be... And suddenly, I've got the goddamn thing practically chained around my neck.

    Lucy: What are you talking about?

    Henry: You. You. You're the, you're the... You're, you're- you're the goddamn thing. Ahhh, uh. I mean... You're, you're. I can't describe you... uhh, I don't, I don't write that kind of shit, I write... You know, the people who write, who write the real books, the love books, and the poems, and even those stupid little fucking novels with the hunky assholes on the cover...

    Lucy: Stop...

    Henry: You know it? You know what I'm talking about? You know - you're like Princess shit! You know? Fairytales. You know what I'm saying? The million guys are after and you're blinded by your beauty kind of shit. Real big stuff. You know, that just - even, we got the dick that kidnaps you and sticks you in a cave and you're guarded by a five-headed dragon, you know and the tales of your plight are spread throughout the land and all the guys go and put on their shoes so they can see what's up and none of them have the balls to save her except for me. I would go through anything... for you. And still, there I was looking for a way not to see it. Anything. Money...

    Lucy: You stupid idiot.

    Henry: Yeah.

    Lucy: Yes.

    Henry: Yeah... big fat stupid idiot.

    Lucy: I hope you're better to the next one.

    Henry: No - wait...

    [he digs in his bag and decides not to give her the dedication to Simone, but grabs the pebble he had given her and then thrown back onto the beach and went back for later]

    Henry: It was easy to find... it's the only one like it.

    Lucy: You broke my heart, Henry. I don't think you can trust people. You always have to find something wrong. I'm just... I'm sorry. I'll miss you.

  • Henry: I can't.

    Lucy: Yes, you can.

    Henry: We have to work.

    Lucy: Right now?

    Henry: Lucy, come on please. It's going to get very complicated. Ahh, it's going to get so complicated.

    Lucy: Do you just genuinely dislike me, Henry?

    Henry: A week ago, I didn't give a rat's ass about nebulas and now I can't get enough of them. Ok?

    Lucy: Nebulae.

    Henry: What?

    Lucy: It's nebulae... not nebulas.

    Henry: Ok, fine. I don't care about nebulas. You know accuse me of whatever you want, I'm probably guilty of it... contributing to global warming, and killing a squirrel once, and using the word retarded, and occasionally misinterpreted bigotry, but don't, don't... don't don't don't don't don't accuse me of not liking you. Ok?

    Lucy: I understand.
