Love is always linked to calculation, and the weights at both ends of the scale are different, but pure love is indeed rare.
According to modern values, this is understandable, because everyone has the right to choose.
Fortunately, there is always sparkling love in reality.
So-and-so is seriously ill in bed, and the news that the other party is still not leaving will surely provoke everyone's eyes and hearts.
Because it is rare, it is precious.
Recently, the film "Breathe" starring Hollywood star Andrew Garfield released the juice source.


"One Breath, One Breath" has appeared in the major awards lists, and the results are remarkable.
I thought it would be a crooked love sketch, but it turned out to be adapted from a true story, plus a few shocking strokes, giving the film a good look and feel.
Jumping away from petty troubles and personal love, with history as the background, naturally makes the story of the two people a little more admirable.


The film tells that Robin, a young and promising retired non-commissioned officer, meets Diana, an elegant British woman, on the African continent.
One is restrained and shy, and the other is gentle and quiet.


Love begins between lightning and flint, and love at first sight is the starting point of cliché.
The great love of Robin and Diana lies in the sweetness and bitterness of their end.


The two were soon married and had a new life.
But at the peak of happiness, God played a joke on them.
Robin contracted the polio virus and soon became completely paralyzed, with only the slightest wiggle of his head.
At first, he couldn't even speak, because he had to rely on a ventilator to even breathe, and the machine that went up and down kept him alive.


The successive blows are that Robin will be paralyzed for life, leaving the ventilator, he can only live for 2 minutes. The doctor gave a death prediction, "not to live for 3 months".
Introducing the acquaintance of the two people, to the perfection, and then to the trough of life, and the imminent death of the film, just over 10 minutes have passed.
Obviously, the focus of the narrative of "One Breath, One Breath" is how the two deal with the heavy losses in their lives.
"One Breath, One Breath" is unconventional in that it shows the power of life through death. It does not show off a lot of misery, but finds the miracle of life, which makes Robin spit at the priest and swear at God. The spirit collapses The man regained the courage and meaning of life.
The tenacious Diana soon wakes up from her "princess" dream, and she must make herself her husband's reason to live.
She took him back to England and found a hospital. In order to breathe new life into his life, she bought a cottage in the suburbs and was going to bring him home from the hospital.


This decision made the dean decide inconceivably, how to solve the machine, who can replace the nurse, what to do when the power goes out at home, and who will take care of the life.
For the hospital, these highly disabled patients have no hope of long-term survival. Here, it is just a kind of comfort from humanitarianism. What the hospital does is try to delay the time. Waiting for the patient to endure the life outside the prison will end on its own.
At this time, the film began to tell the story of "from death to life".


Miracles are staged in the persistence of love.
Robin understood the meaning of his life for Diana and the children, so he lived tenaciously.
And Diana desperately took care of everything.
They live for each other and interpret the power of love with their actions.
The world of "One Breath, One Breath" is better than evil, and there is hardly an incarnation of evil in it.
Friends join the family of the miracle couple, offering them all kinds of help.
Among them, a professor from Oxford began to develop custom-made appliances for Robin.
The mobile ventilator wheelchair was born.


Relying on it, Robin left the grave-like bed and saw the long-lost "Flower World" again.
He wanted to go further, so he decided to move the ventilator to the co-pilot position;
he also wanted to fulfill his promise to promise his son a trip, so the family bravely drove the car onto the transport plane, and in this way, Robin relied on breathing The plane came to Spain.


The most magical scene of the film was born.
The ventilator burned out, and the family had to take turns to breathe manually for Robin.
Not only is there no danger, no complaints, but the locals who do not understand the language are curious about this man with the machine, and they have surrounded him one after another, witnessing the miracle of life, and began to worship him, and a larger and larger gathering continues to unfold.


A group of people laughed and laughed, and the priest, tourists and locals regarded him as a miracle.
This incident filled the hearts of Diana and Robin even more, and Robin began to hope to use his deeds to change more patients like him.
With the help of friends, they raised money everywhere to build the second-generation upgraded mobile breathing device.
They liberated the patients in the hospital in the first place.


Robin is not satisfied with this, they came to the medical conference, ready to promote this amazing device to the world.
The most shocking second act of the film soon arrived.
In Germany, where science is developed, they rely on sophisticated instruments to save the lives of paralyzed patients. They did not expect that there is a second way for patients to recover.
In the coffin, the patients looked at Robin one after another, and they cast longing eyes, and they finally saw the real hope of life.


Robin believes that the integration of paralyzed patients into society is the most important issue for all doctors to consider, not just keeping them alive.
There is an empty body, and when the soul is broken, it is not called living.
Robin and Diana changed each other in this way, and also changed too many people around them.
A professor who had accomplished nothing became an expert and obtained a patent.
The patients who were lifeless have regained the warmth of home.
Friends take him as an example and know the value of life and the importance of courage.


Decades passed, as his son grew up, Robin also experienced a wonderful life.
Being on a ventilator for a long time made his lungs extremely susceptible to infection, and his life was doubly miserable, and he finally made up his mind to say goodbye.
The film thus enters the scene of "from life to death".


Everyone must learn to "let go" here!
Diana is undoubtedly the most difficult person to let go.
The miracle of life created by Robin was built by her. There are great sculptures of love, family, and humanity in this temple of life built by the two of them. If Robin leaves, these buildings will lose their luster or become eternal. Diana was very suspicious.
What is reassuring is that even if the plot enters the tragic part, the film still maintains restraint in the narrative, revealing a kind of humor after "seeing it away".
Robin planned the farewell party for his funeral, and even planned everything.
Death came step by step, but there was still a smile in the tears.
The death at this moment is not to give up life, but to let love or other things stay in the heart forever.


They found the courage to live, let go of their own obsessions, and from death to life, from life to death, both of them understood the true meaning of life.
Live intentionally, die well.
At the end of the film, heavy tears continued to be released. It turned out that this film was produced by the prototype of the film, and Robin's son participated in the production.
Andrew Garfield is almost entirely face-to-face.
And film director Andy Serkis is also quite worth mentioning, he is Gollum in "Lord of the Rings" and Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".


Andy Serkis did a great job as a stuntman.
He is also a director.
Whether on stage or behind the scenes, he has done everything to perfection.
"One Breath, One Breath" isn't the kind of masterpiece that provokes discussion, but it does provide a rare mind-massage.


So, don't miss it.
It can tell you the true meaning of love and the meaning of life.
There is not only one path to happiness for princes and princesses.
