Dignity to live and die

Living with dignity is not easy. Wang Xiaobo expressed such a view, and I was influenced by him. "Dignity" means "being treated as a person". Sometimes people don't treat us like people. More often, we don't treat ourselves as human beings.

I have a long group life experience. In public spaces, we often ignore or deliberately ignore our living environment. For example, no garbage is taken out, cigarette butts are thrown around, the toilet is not flushed, and instant noodles are eaten in the air-conditioned room... There are many slogans "X is home", but they are just slogans. Truly our own home, we would never do that.

There is no such trifle in the movie. Life and romance are two different things. If there is no filter, defecation, scrubbing, changing clothes... day after day, it is not romantic at all. But when time comes together into memories, it becomes romantic.

But "surviving" is not living. no ventilator

    A beautiful story adapted from real history, the movie even invited the handsome Andrew Garfield and the beautiful "Queen Elizabeth II" Claire Foy to serve as the male and female protagonists, but unfortunately the script is not polished well enough, and the rhythm is too strong. Personally, it is a pity that the initial description of the two people's encounter and deep love is too simple. Fortunately, the final ending is quite touching, which makes up a lot of points.
