I accidentally turned to this film, and I started to think that it was a romantic film without much hope and just wanted to have fun. Love began in Africa, the sunny and handsome Robin fell in love with the princess-like Diana, and the two soon fell in love, spreading branches and leaves on the golden land of Africa. The color tone of the picture is soft and beautiful, and it smoothly brings people into the romance of the prince and princess. However, after ten minutes, the style of painting changed sharply. The perfect prince contracted polio and was paralyzed by a ventilator.
Of course, Robin couldn't accept fate's tricks to die, and Diana quickly pulled herself out of her grief and returned to England with her baby and Robin. Although treated in the best hospital in the UK, Robin felt that his life was meaningless lying in bed every day as a breathing creature rather than a human being.
He proposed to Diana that he wanted to go home, and Diana had turned from a little princess into a brave Sailor Moon, taking him home at the risk of her lover suffocating at any time. After leaving the hospital, Robin rekindled his hope of living and started a new life. I read the newspaper every day and open a PARTY at home. At this moment, I am shocked by the sunshine and love of life of this family, especially Diana. Usually there is a paralyzed patient in the family, and they are exhausted from dealing with the trivial matters of caring for the patient, but they still have the enthusiasm to open a party, which is greatly touched.
Afterwards, a doctor friend made the first version of a wheelchair with a ventilator for Robin. Robin's life circle has since expanded. Diana even pushed the wheelchair to take Robin back to the hospital to visit the patients who were still trapped in the hospital bed. They witness miracles.
Since then, the film has entered Robin's highlight moment. The president of the British Disabled Association was very shocked to see that a paralyzed patient like Robin could live such a free and dignified life, and decided to take him to the German Disabled People's Congress. German hospitals claim to have the best medical conditions, but they put patients in beautiful and hygienic big iron jars, which appear to be clean and high-tech, but in fact patients are like prisoners without freedom and dignity.
With the help of the president, Robin began to promote the manufacture of the second-generation built-in ventilator wheelchair, so that the former patients could be free and live with dignity.
Then the film continues to progress layer by layer, pushing to a climax. Robin suffered a lung infection from prolonged use of a ventilator and doctors said he would eventually drown in a pool of his own blood. Although Robin was strangled by fate, he still wanted to take control of his life. He decided to hold a funeral for himself, bid farewell to his friends, relatives and loved ones solemnly, and then end his life. Diana silently spent so many years accompanying and caring for Robin. Although she was reluctant to give up, she still respected Robin's choice. Instead of forcibly leaving Robin, she gave him an unforgettable funeral. In the end, Robin chose euthanasia to end his life with dignity.
While lamenting Robin's tenacious and optimistic attitude towards life, what touched me more was Diana's respect for Robin. Maybe this is the highest state of love, tenacious and silent giving when he needs it; when he decides to leave, respect his choice and say goodbye!
Usually we think that love is to give what we think is best, to love him and pay him everything! The same is true for children. Parents always design the best life for their children, regardless of whether they want it or not. In fact, respecting each other's choices is the best way to love!
