Push yourself, Don't settle.

To live boldly Push yourself, Don't settle.

To live boldly Push yourself, Don't settle. Just because of this sentence I found this book and turned to this movie

I don't want to see this as a love movie. A tall, rich and handsome man who is paralyzed by accident, a girl who is not a girl in a small town who just smiles cutely, what two people save each other and warm their hearts.

Real life is more dramatic, brutal and perhaps warmer than movies.

You can't understand the despair of a person who loves sports, loves life, and has an infinite future suddenly loses the ability to act, loses the future, and loses all control.

You are not the other party, so you can't understand why the other party is so determined to live for 6 months for his parents, and then go to another world with dignity and peace.

When Will saw that Xiao Lu was trapped in the pressure of his family and gave up the clothing design he wanted to study at the school he wanted to go to, did he think of himself trapped in a wheelchair?

When Xiao Lu was influenced by Will and found out that she liked movies with subtitles, she looked good in a red dress, and she had the possibility of another life in addition to her current life.

I prefer to see this as a journey of companionship between two people who are trapped in life and under physical pressure, warming each other and giving each other happiness and courage

Will asked Xiaolu what she did after get off work, Xiaolu said: i spend time with my family, i um um go to pub, i watch tv, i watch patrick running, i read a bit, i like clothes. ..i don't do much, i go to work, i go home, that's it.

Will said "your life is duller than mine"

It's more insipid than a person who is a paraplegic who locks himself in the house to watch movies, watch the rain, and recall his past.

But doesn't Xiaolu know? If Xiao Lu is a person who has no passion for life, she will not dress up according to her own style, but life is too helpless for Xiao Lu.

Why did Will promise his parents to live for 6 months, isn't it also helpless under family affection?

So you can see that the screenwriter arranged for such two people to meet, and the complementary characteristics of the two parties give each other a sense of freshness and hope in life

But what I love is that there is no happy ending at the end. What kind of prince and Cinderella have been living together since then, how can life be so simple?

The screenwriter still made Will insist on euthanasia, and the screenwriter also arranged to accompany Will to the last moment of his life even though Xiao Lu couldn't accept it at first.

This is the real but hopeless life. Family and love are not the whole of life. For some people, freedom and dignity, and living out their own lives are more important.

The screenwriter asked Xiaolu to wear a white shirt and a fitted skirt at the end of the movie. The physiological gift that Will gave him was in a street coffee shop in France, and he bought a perfume that suits him. Will told her:

Finally, I hope you and I can live boldly, push yourself, don't settle.

Me Before You quotes

  • Will Traynor: I have to tell you something.

    Lou Clark: I know. I know about Switzerland, I have known for months. Listen I know this is not how you would have chosen it, but I can make you happy.

    Will Traynor: No.

    Lou Clark: What?

    Will Traynor: No Clarke. This could be a good life, but it's not my life, it's not even close. You never saw me before. I loved my life. I really loved it. I can't be the kind of man who just accepts this.

    Lou Clark: You're not giving it a chance, you're not giving me a chance. I have become a whole new person these last six months because of you.

    Will Traynor: I know and that's why I can't have you tied to me. I don't want you to miss all the things that someone else can give you. And selfishly I don't what you to look at me one day and feel event the tiniest bit of regret or pity.

    Lou Clark: I would never think that!

    Will Traynor: You don't know that. I can't watch you wandering around the annex in your crazy dresses. Or see you naked and not be able to... oh Clarke if you have any idea what I want to do to you right now. I can't live like this.

    Lou Clark: Please Will! Please!

    Will Traynor: Shh. Listen, this, tonight being with you is the most wonderful thing you could have ever done for me. But I need it to end here. No more pain and exhaustion and waking up every morning already wishing it was over. It's not going to get better than this. The doctors know it and I know it. When we get back, I'm going to Switzerland so I'm asking you if you feel the things you say you feel. Come with me.

    Lou Clark: I thought I was changing your mind!

    Will Traynor: Nothing was ever going to change my mind. I promised my parents six months and that's what I have given them.

    Lou Clark: No! Don't say another word. You're so selfish. I tore my heart out in front of you and all you can say is no. And now you want me to come and watch the worst thing you could possibly imagine. Do you have any idea what you're asking? I wish I had never taken this stupid job. I wish I had never met you.

  • Lou Clark: You don't have to be an arse! Your friends got the shitty treatment. Fine *They* deserved it. *I'm* just trying to do my job as best I can. So it would be really nice if you didn't try and make my life as miserable as you apparently make everyone else's.

    Will Traynor: And what if I said I didn't want you here?

    Lou Clark: I'm not employed by you. I'm employed by your mother. So unless *she* says she doesn't want me here anymore, I'm staying. Not because I care about you, or particularly enjoy your company, but because I need the money. I *really* need the money.
