The second half is okay

I actually cried after seeing it. It's very strange. I don't know exactly what moved me. Maybe the heroine's emotional performance. When she opened the door and found out that it was the doctor and the son, her heart went from surprise to doubt to despair to sadness. It's really unbearable to watch, the haggard and sadness after that, but the daughter is sensible here, and considerate of her mother's every move, which is also touching. This film is by no means just a love story, it is also about family, middle-aged people's feelings, relationship with children, social responsibility as a doctor, parents' constant love for their children, etc. This may be the original film. The reason why a film with a plot that is not very vivid and novel can still move people to tears

Adrienne Willis: Just stop it.

Dr. Paul Flanner: What keeps you safe?
Adrienne Willis: Well, you fall in love with someone, you know... and you make a family... and you become what you think you're supposed to be. And you change and you give up certain things. Then they look at what you've got left and you wish you... I don't know, you just think maybe you shouldn't have.
Dr. Paul Flanner: Don't.
Dr. Paul Flanner: Just don't do it anymore.
Adrienne Willis: ...Huh.
