Heather was diagnosed with cancer from the age of thirteen, and by the age of eighteen he was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer. He had to carry an oxygen tank and a hose to breathe. Her parents were afraid of her depression and sent her to the cancer rehabilitation center.
Here, she met teenagers like her, and everyone introduced themselves like ordinary teenagers of the same age, except that they would add their own illnesses after their names. On this day, Heather encountered a loss due to bone cancer. The boy with one leg-Gus, he used a word-oblivion when he introduced himself. He expressed his worry that he would be forgotten because of death, but at this time he was never willing to participate in mutual aid associations, and he was never willing to open up. The heart-warming Heather stood up and said: "One day, everyone will disappear and everyone will be forgotten. Even if it is great like Mozart, no one will stay here in a few years to remember him, let alone everyone here. , So if you are afraid of this, it’s best to forget about it as soon as possible, because the rest of the people do it.” After the
mutual aid meeting, Gus asked Heather: “Tell me the real you, not your history of disease resistance. , Is a living you, what do you like, what are your hobbies?” So, Heather and Gus shared their favorite book. A sentence in this book is also a sentence throughout the film-That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt. Pain needs to be felt. This book gave Heather great courage and encouragement to cancer. It is her spiritual support after cancer. Compared with physical pain, she needs empathy more. But the book quickly ended the story in half a sentence. What happened to the other people after the protagonist Anna passed away? The writer did not write. Heather wrote one letter after another to the writer, but never got a reply.
But Gus appeared and everything was different. He was originally a talented basketball player, but bone cancer made him a half-joking "machine boy" in his mouth. His home was full of his pre-cancer For the trophy, he optimistically told Heather: "I finally have a chance to tell my dad how much I hate basketball." He is sunny and optimistic. He is like a ray of sunlight shining into Heather’s life. Gus let Heather She experienced the passion and happiness that young people should have. She saw the mountains and rivers of the world in his eyes. He made Heather no longer afraid of the morning sun, but became full of expectations for every day of his life. For the first time, she felt "like feelings". Her parents loved her, but they couldn't achieve "like feelings". What she needed was what Van Gogh wrote in his letter: "There is a fire in everyone's heart. , People passing by can only see the smoke, but there is always someone who can see the fire, and then walks over to accompany me. I saw his fire in the crowd, and I walked over quickly, for fear Slowly he will be drowned in the dust of the years." Gus is the fire in Heather's life. They are cuddling each other on the verge of extinguishing, burning stubbornly.
They got along for a long time before they had the first hug between friends, and it took a long time before they had the first kiss. They never hug or kiss, but they can look into each other’s eyes, talk about their hobbies and needs, and forget. Pain in the body.
Gus contacted the writer, and then used his last wish to take Shanghai Se, to the Netherlands to realize her wish-to be able to know the ending of the novel in the time when life may pass away at any time. But this novel that supported Heather through the hardest time was written by an alcoholic and decadent novelist. He was disdainful and contemptuous. He thought that when the novel was finished, it was finished. Cancer took Anna away, so alive. Human endings are not needed either. "One infinity is bigger than the other infinity." He calls them "defectives in human evolution", and he won't give them any mercy. Anna was heartbroken. The huge tower that had been supporting herself collapsed instantly. She sat on the ground feebly and wept bitterly, but Gus told her over and over again: "It's okay, it doesn't matter. I can write a better story for you, don't you Sad." Anna was used to Gus, she didn't realize that Gus was her giant tower. With his encouragement, she could ascend the steps of the Anne Frank Memorial Hall one by one; he filled bottles with stars and gave them to her.
Then Gus told her lightly that his cancer cells had spread all over the body, and that when Heather became ill, he was already much more serious. Heather recalled that she had rejected Gus's words. She thought she was a time bomb that would explode at any time. But Gus smiled and said, "I'm honored to be sad for you." Heather remembered that when she couldn't breathe and her chest was burning, when the nurse asked herself how many levels of pain, she stretched out nine fingers, no Because she was brave, because she wanted to save the tenth grade pain until the end, she realized that such pain was coming soon. Then Gus told her that he hoped that she would write his own eulogy. During the last few days of his life, Gus was weak and could only move through a wheelchair. He called Heather to the church and wanted to hear his own words. Eulogy. Heather said: "Our love story is like an epic. I have no way to speak. As long as I tell it, I will be drowned in tears..." She said, there are countless numbers between 1 and 2. One infinity is bigger than the others. Guth made me feel eternity in a limited time.
Gus is always optimistic. He seems to have never been serious, but this time he sat on the grass where he had lain with Heather and cried feebly: "I know this is naive, but I always look forward to becoming a hero. , With a great story, will be published in the newspaper, I should have become a different person." But Heather told him: "You are different from the others, you are always obsessed with making people remember You. I think you are special. Isn’t that enough? You think that to live a meaningful life, everyone must remember and love you, but guess what, this is your life, you can only get this , Me, your family, and the world you can face, these are these. If these are not enough for you, then I am sorry, you are not empty-handed at least. Because I love you, I will remember you." Heather because of Gus The existence is extremely strong. We cannot choose life. Since all this is destined to happen, we can only choose to accept it.
Gus left eight days later. Heather did not recite the eulogy she had prepared, but said a lot of encouraging words. Those who are sick will know that the funeral is not for the dead, but for those who are still alive. , So that the living can start a new life with the love of the deceased. She hopes that everyone can remember this Gus-that always sunny, strong, and still smiling at the last moment of life.
I watched this movie with my good friend Miss D. After watching it, she asked me in confusion: "Why do they all know that they are going to die soon, and why are they still together?" I felt a huge Of sadness. There is never any death that is easy. Death means that we are no longer in the scenes where we appeared, participated, or did not participate. And life has to go on. Just as Heather heard his mother say when he was 13 years old when he was critically ill: "I am not a mother anymore." This sentence became Heather's heart knot. She is not afraid of being forgotten, she is afraid that when that day comes, what should the people who love and love themselves do? When her mother persuaded her to eat more dinner to stay healthy, Heather yelled mockingly: "Keep healthy? You keep a late-stage lung cancer healthy? What's the point? I'm going to die soon, and you won't be me anymore. Mom, you don’t own your life anymore. You can only sit in a house full of memories all day long and miss me." But my mother relentlessly said, "No, we do know your condition, but After you die, I will still be your mother and will always be your mother." She told Heather that she had already participated in a social work training course and hoped to help more families like them, but they were afraid Heather felt I was left out and couldn’t tell her, but Heather cried in relief and was happy for her mother. She was not afraid of being forgotten like Gus. What she was afraid of was that her departure would ruin the happiness and fulfillment of her family. Her life, but now she feels that death is not the end. Her death will be the beginning of a new life for those around her. She is sincerely happy for her parents.
At the end of the movie, the writer Gusto gave her the eulogy he wrote to Heather: "You don't have to worry about whether she is smarter than you, because you know she is. She is funny and not mean, I love her. In this world You can’t choose not to be harmed, but you can choose who is harmed.” He told Heather the real ending of the book-life comes from life, and Anna is modeled after her daughter who died of cancer. Heather was lying on the grass in the night sky, looking at the dark and endless night sky, and found long-term peace.
Aside from the love story, the film also discusses the issue of illness and death from a new perspective. When faced with the bad news, people will be surprised, rejected, and excited before choosing to accept it. Facing death is terrible, but no one can escape such fate. However, death is not the end, and sadness is not the whole life. People facing death are not only suffering and fear, but also those who want to continue to live, to remember the years we spent together, remember love, remember time, and then start a new life.
