Hello, the movie I want to recommend to you today is the 2017 British movie "Breathe" ( Breathe ), which was adapted from a true event. This is a British inspirational and warm film that sings about life and love.
Part.1
The beginning of the story is always very romantic.
Handsome, sunny and sporty Robin meets the beautiful and elegant Diana, and they fall in love quickly.
Robin took Diana soaring in the sky in a plane. Even at work, he took Diana to the wild to collect wind and camp. He also took Diana to Africa to make a promise of love.
The combination of the two is as sweet as a prince and a princess made in heaven. The two, who are always with each other, quickly walked into the palace of marriage, and Diana gradually swelled her belly and had the crystallization of love.
But perhaps it is God who wants to inflict the deepest suffering on the most favored.
Robin, who is extremely athletic, actually lost for the first time in a tennis match against a mediocre opponent. At that time, he was just surprised and blamed everything on his sore knees.
But at night, Robin suddenly felt incomparable pain. After being rushed to the hospital, he was diagnosed with polio: the polio virus enters the human body through air droplets, and the virus flows through the blood to the central system and attacks the spinal cord. Motor nerve cells, resulting in paralysis from the neck down, and even unable to breathe spontaneously.
The attending physician said Robin would not live more than two months.
The original Robin couldn't accept all this. Robin, who could only survive on a ventilator in the hospital, didn't even want to see his wife and children. He repeated over and over again with despair and emptiness in his eyes: Let me die.
Diana never gave up on Robin. She held the crystallization of their love by Robin's side every day. She said, "Robin, if I can do anything to make you feel better, you must tell me."
Robin didn't want to die this time, he said he wanted to be released from the hospital.
But the attending physician resolutely denied this possibility, because Robin, who could not breathe on his own, would die as long as he was released from the ventilator for two minutes. Besides, the medical work was difficult and heavy, how could Diana alone be competent?
But how could Diana just give up her husband's wish? She watched her husband tortured lifelessly like a puppet in the hospital, and she was suffocated, and she decided to take her husband out of the hospital.
She begged Robin's friends to make a wheelchair with batteries and a ventilator for Robin, and she also bought a beautiful and quiet farmstead for the family of three to live in, in the room with her own bed against Robin's Nursing bed to be able to accompany Robin 24 hours a day. When Diana smuggled Robin out of the hospital, it was the first time Robin smiled after a long illness.
Diana's tenderness and warmth gradually softened the man who was disappointed in life, and they even started hosting a party to invite friends over to their house to celebrate. Of course, there are times when it is dangerous.
When the puppy at home accidentally tripped the power supply of the ventilator, Diana was still busy in the kitchen. Robin almost suffocated to death in a second. After waking up, he smiled and said to Diana: "Just now. Pretty fun."
Robin said, let's go to Spain.
The conditions of the ventilator are not enough, so Robin's friend upgraded Robin to make a wheelchair with a built-in ventilator, which can be used on the road. Robin didn't want to be lying in the back of the car like luggage, so they remodeled the car, removing the front seats so Robin could travel in the passenger seat. Spain is a long way to go, so they put the car on the plane.
Halfway through Spain, the ventilator broke. They were waiting in the wild for Robin's friends to fly over from the UK. They took turns pressing the manual ventilator to keep Robin breathing. They drank afternoon tea with umbrellas, and even invited local people to have a party together.
The local people gathered more and more, they lit bonfires, danced together, and faced the unfortunate but optimistic Robin and the gentle and persistent Diana.
Robin and Diana also tried their best to help critically ill patients like Robin, so that they could also sit in expensive wheelchairs and equipment, and be freed from the dark ward to enjoy life. Wheelchairs designed by Robin and his friend Professor Teddy Hall have helped thousands of severely disabled patients.
Robin performed miracles like a hero and lived an extra 36 years.
At the age of 64, Robin suffered from lung infection due to long-term use of a ventilator. Frequent pulmonary hemorrhage not only made Robin almost choked to death by his own blood and could not breathe, but also caused Robin to suffer tremendously. s pain.
This time, Robin, who couldn't continue to enjoy his life, didn't want to continue to suffer in the pain of tormenting himself and others. He decided to end his life.
Despite the opposition from many people, Diana agreed with her husband's decision and gave her husband the last respect and dignity. I think there is nothing more admirable than this fulfillment and respect.
So far, Robin has become the longest polio patient living on a ventilator.
Part.2
Before dying, Robin said to Diana, "You can't imagine how much joy you brought me."
Diana said: "You have given me an unparalleled and wonderful life."
I think, this is what love looks like at its best. Even in the dark, there is such a warm and firm hand that holds you tightly for decades, determined to recapture you from all the dark nights.
