I once said that love is the best elixir to change a person;
however, the truth is that only people with that material can be changed.
Take Lulu, the heroine of this movie, for example.
Let's talk about the plot first:
At first, I thought it was a story about how a foolish white sweet paralyzed the rich and handsome. In fact, this is how the story develops in the early stages. Lulu, with strange eyebrows and a rustic dress, became the personal care of Will, the son of the "castle owner" of the small town castle, who was paralyzed by a car accident. Will was very disdainful of Lulu's appearance at first, until one day, Lulu cured the male protagonist's melancholy type 2 disease with a silly and sweet temperament. After watching a French gay love action drama, the relationship between the two people heated up quickly.
The twist in the story is that Lulu accidentally learns that Will plans to opt for euthanasia six months later. She did everything she could: take him to horse betting, concerts, her family birthday party...just to cheer him up. During a romantic seaside trip, two people kiss in a storm. But Will told her he would still choose to die. After the predictable tragic atmosphere, Lulu accepted Will's choice.
——————UNHAPPY END—————————
In the second half of the story, I was impressed with two sentences. It's what Will said.
"I just want to be the man who just finished listening to the symphony with the girl in the red dress...just a few minutes."
Before he was paralyzed, Will was a man who loved life, loved adventure, and was very charming. He is sitting on the streets of Paris in Paris, and French beauties will secretly flirt with him; he likes sports and excitement, he can ski, dive, and record #savagewillbirthdaycollection#. Even after being paralyzed, he still maintains a tongue-in-cheek/spirited sense of humor that is endearing.
However, he knew that he was no longer the person he used to be.
He just sits in the middle of life and death.
At this time, Lulu rushed into his world with a disregarding temperament that only the weak have, and planted sunflowers in the desert.
But she doesn't understand anything and needs him to lead her to experience everything;
but he can't do anything, but he finds the possibility of life continuation in her.
Simply put, he needs her and he needs him.
In front of Lulu, Will changed back to the handsome and smart domineering president, or, in other words, found that fresh soul. He would even be jealous like a teenager and say to Lulu's boyfriend, "You're lucky because your girlfriend is very good at wiping her back."
When the two came back from the concert handsomely dressed, Will's ignorant and The romantic heart palpitations are back.
Those who have been ambiguous know that every minute of being alone is different.
"You're probably the only reason I wake up in the morning." The
two were traveling by the sea when they said this. By then Will had decided to use this trip to end his life/and Lulu's future.
It was night, and the two were kissing in a room filled with lightning and thunder.
The next night, Will tells Lulu of his decision.
Among the sentences about death, I like Haruki Murakami's description in "Norwegian Wood" the most: death is not the opposite of life, but is eternal as a part of life.
From the beginning, Will has not changed his original intentions. He loves life so much that love cannot change his despair at the moment. And meeting Lulu was an accident in the whole death plan: she was innocent and hid the same love of life.
From the moment the two met, Lulu took the place of Will, extending the part of life.
Until she completely grows and transforms.
Lulu's sister said that you were nothing before meeting him.
No steady job, no good looks, no diving, no concerts, no Paris.
It all came true after meeting Will.
She told Will that she had been admitted to a fashion major, but gave up because her family was poor.
Those very ugly bumblebee leggings that I liked when I was a child are Lulu's dream sustenance. And this sustenance was also dragged from the sky to the world by Will on her birthday.
When she wears these inappropriate leggings, buys a bottle of perfume that suits her elegantly in Paris, plans trips, and studies, she changes from the shadow of Will's guidance to the real Lulu.
You see, after they met, Will didn't change his original intention, and Lulu found himself.
They don't seem to have changed anything, but everything seems to have changed.
My favorite scene at the end:
Will brings Lulu to his ex-girlfriend's wedding. Ignoring the gazes of the people around, Lulu sat in Will's wheelchair, the two danced freely, and the scene was spinning.
Thinking of Will's decision, of their endings, and of their happy smiles, none of the dances I've seen can compare to the tenderness and touchingness of this scene.
