Make today the perfect day

I stumbled across amovie of. I'm not going to say it because I'm crying, because I'm afraid many people have this reaction after watching it.

In fact, the plot is not very novel. The movie realizes a topic that we often discuss with a plot design-if you know that you only have one day to live in this world, how will you spend it?
The male protagonist designed a perfect day for her knowing that the female protagonist was going to die in a car accident that night. This perfection is not surprising, there is nothing earth-shatteringly different, it is nothing but an open heart and a sincere expression of love. When the whole heart is devoted to cherishing before life and death, the words, eyes, and actions express love to the extreme. You can feel that the male protagonist opens his pores every minute to feel, to love, to express, and to satisfy his own and the other's wishes. He realized that when there was only one day left in his life, he could no longer tolerate any regrets and regrets. At the last moment, he bravely protected his girlfriend with his body. As a result, it was him who died and his girlfriend who survived.

Life is precious because it will end one day. The same is true of love, when you know it will lose one day, you realize how much you waste the present time. Tolerating that time is wasted inch by inch on boring things may be because we always feel that there will always be tomorrow. Some of the most important things, the things we will regret in life if we don't do them, we always put off waiting to do tomorrow. The result may be that you have never done it in your life, and finally lost the opportunity to do it.

That's what touched me the most about this movie. We have every choice to make any day a perfect one. It doesn't necessarily take a lot of energy, a lot of money, and a long way to go. Maybe it's an ordinary day, and if we go there with love and focus on the moment, we can all make it a perfect day.
Don't wait too long, don't lose too much, cherish what you have, love, express, feel, fulfill...

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift, that is why we call it present!

If Only quotes

  • Ian Wyndham: Close your eyes. Happy graduation.

    Samantha Andrews: Oh my God.

    Ian Wyndham: Some of the charms are old and some are new. That's a musical note, a violin. This one is a flower, what is no sense of matter at all, except it was exquisite much like yourself. Let's see... the train that we took today. And... that's the Eiffel Tower that you've always wanted to see. And... this frying pan, cause you are the only person that I know that can actually do the flipping thing. And... this one's a heart... my heart... it's yours now.

  • Ian Wyndham: I guess what I'm trying to say is... I want to soldier on. I really do. Okay?

    Samantha Andrews: No.

    Ian Wyndham: No what?

    Samantha Andrews: I don't... want to soldier on.

    Samantha Andrews: Ian, if I were to stay in London now, it would be for you. For us. And I would do that in a heartbeat if I knew we were really special.

    Ian Wyndham: We are.

    Samantha Andrews: Really? You never tell me how you feel or talk about yourself. You don't want to meet my family. You forgot my graduation. We run into my favorite student and you act as if he has something contagious.

    Samantha Andrews: Ian, I know you have the best intentions, but I feel like I'm a really high second priority to you. That hurts. And the worst part is I'm starting to get used to it.

    Ian Wyndham: I don't understand.

    Samantha Andrews: I know. That's what kills me.

    Samantha Andrews: If there had just been one day Ian, one day where nothing else matters but us.

    Ian Wyndham: I adore you.

    Samantha Andrews: I don't want to be adored, I want to be loved.

    Samantha Andrews: I can't do this anymore.
