Do we still have any regrets when we are going to grow old?

Winter afternoons are always so cold, and I watched this movie alone under the covers. There are not too many emotional ups and downs, but from this blandness, I can feel An's reluctance to part with this life.


The beginning of the title, a rain, a person, a monologue.
Trying to make it clear that this is you, no matter what you do or think, no regrets. We don't know when our life will come to an end. Sometimes we can always see and hear the people around us leave, and sigh, so young is gone.

When Ann learned that she had a tumor, she had no choice of treatment, no choice to tell her family, she was silently shouldering it by herself, and she hoped that she could do some things she wanted to do in the rest of her life that she hasn't done yet. The plot of the story is always so coincidental, when Ann writes down in the cafe what she wants to do for the last two months, Lee happens to fall in love with her at first sight.

I have always had a picture in my mind that when Ann and Lee met for the second time in the laundry, Lee looked at the picture of Ann falling asleep, as if he should have watched it for a long time. He probably never thought that he could have an unforgettable relationship with this girl in the future.

I don't know why Ann approached Lee deliberately in the first place. It was just that she hoped to have an emotional spark with another person before she died, or that she also had such a feeling for this man whom she met by chance. . But at the end of the story, they both fell in love with each other. I don't know if Ann regretted that she would die soon when she heard Lee's last affectionate confession.

It's not a pity to lose a loved one, it's a pity that I don't have time to make the loved one happy in the end.


Feel the most is that part of her dialogue with the father,

you Love someone But you CAN not the make Them Happy
the Just like you Love Them But you CAN not Love Them at The Way They Wanna BE

you love someone but you can not make them happy
If you love them
but you can't love them the way they do.


How long can we be young and how long can we squander our youth. I have always hoped that there will be a person in my life who can accept that I love coquetry, domineering and possessiveness. However, people are always free, and in the end they do not want to be bound. Find out that you end up loving someone the wrong way.

The ending of the story should be a good one.
Ann's departure was just as she expected, she helped her husband find someone to accompany her, her mother was no longer withdrawn, and Lee also repainted his empty house and bought a home.
It seems that everything is good, but there is no Ann.


I don't know if this is good or bad, or if people will eventually get used to the days without another person. More or less, after all, it is only a matter of time. Maybe you should keep a dream in your heart, a dream that will not make life dark and alien.
