If Only

If you close your eyes and open your eyes, a day has passed; if you close your eyes without opening, a lifetime has passed.

The incisive life principle, after Xiaoshenyang's interpretation, has become a mantra wandering around the streets, full of jokes. The reason why everyone can talk about it so much, I think, everyone subconsciously feels that after closing their eyes, they will definitely open them again - or it can be said that they have never doubted.

If only this movie undoubtedly reminds the audience of a simple and profound truth. Life is fleeting, cherish the moment, and cherish each other. Although there is not much novelty, and you can almost see the ending at a glance, you will still let yourself read the subtitles slowly. After walking, he stayed for a long time. Only by seeing live examples (albeit only fictions) can one believe that human life is really fragile and fleeting, like a reminder that all mortals are the same - and that we won't be as lucky as the hero, still There is a chance to start all over again, even if it's just one day.

When I saw a girl full of water in the restaurant on the first day and said to her boyfriend, "You never tell me how you feel, or about yourself; you don't want to see my family, forget my graduation recital; Favorite student and you act like he has a contagious disease...Ian, I know you have big ambitions, but I think I'm just second priority to you, that hurts. The worst part Yes, I'm getting used to it." I had an idea in my mind, I must show this movie to someone, it's like reproducing my inner voice, as if something I couldn't explain myself was explained for me at once. But when the whole film is finished, this desire seems to be less strong: I always complain that others don't cherish enough, and I wish he could have a taste of the loss; but on the other hand, what about myself - if tomorrow is really a human being No, I can pat my chest and say: I have done it all, do I have no regrets?

A once very popular motivational quote for success: Live every day as if it were the last day of your life. I don't know if it's really possible for someone to do this, to maintain this urgency at all times, and at the same time to have extraordinary determination and courage. But I'm thinking, if it's the last day, I probably won't be able to do anything - I just want to take a good look at this lovely world, hug my dear ones, and leave peacefully. Of course, if this day, because I can save or help others, I will do it without hesitation, but after all, the chances of this are not high. So, maybe the "last day" is not necessary, as long as the quality of each day passes, and at the end of it, it is enough to say that I have no regrets. Or very rare. Just like the powerful message under Lin Zhiying's resume post: His life is so complete. . Absolutely die immediately without any regrets~

    The heroine with a beautiful smile. Love is most afraid of missing the expression.

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.

    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.
