It's a bit like our "Long Time", we are completely shrouded in suffering, so the most essential part of life has to be exposed, giving us the most direct, visible emotion - a reason to live.

After the amputation, the heroine went to the sea for the first time, and the sea was shining with golden light. In the next shot, she's in a wheelchair listening to rock. In the next shot, the whale-taming music plays, and she concentrates all her strength on her waving arms. She learned to walk on a prosthetic leg. Put on a short skirt, shorts, went to the bar, smashed 2B in the face with a wine glass. She took the initiative to kiss him, took the initiative to fall in love with him, no inferiority complex, no reservations, seriously fell in love! In the end, she was also needed by him: don't leave me behind. - I will not leave you.

Every shot is very good, large aperture, micro expressions, nuanced body language, the crying scene is so realistic that every tear represents heartbreak.

It discusses a very meaningful issue, that is, suffering does not require empathy and sympathy, as long as it is just as usual. Let that person know that the time, the world, and the surrounding have not changed. Let's go forward and see, and you will understand: nothing has really changed. "When you suffer a major blow, there is a type of woman who doesn't scold you, but doesn't sympathize with you, and nothing happens to them. This type of woman is the greatest." I think I understand what Teacher Qian said.

The soundtrack is so good! Should deserve five stars anyway!
