But at the beginning, the development of the plot made me think that the film would not fall into such a "cliché" ending. Each seemingly bloody and boundless plot has an impressive result. Generally speaking, when the heroine's parents take money to ask the hero to leave the heroine, the hero will choose to leave the heroine because his self-esteem has been hurt by this behavior (the most successful example is not "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" genus). The film is surprisingly good: the hero does not leave the heroine. Maybe that's why the movie is so highly rated: it's a love story that's a little unrealistic. However, this may also be what makes many girls excited. When a man is willing to let go of his dignity to love you, it means that he really loves you.
However, as the story gradually develops, it inevitably falls into a cliché. To be honest, when Amanda and Dawson met again and reunited, I almost watched it while swiping Weibo, probably worrying about how the film would end. Because it not only celebrates the pure and romantic love between the hero and heroine, but at the same time they are deeply imprisoned by reality. The heroine was already married and had children, and the hero was threatened and harassed by the white trash family again and again. When the male and female protagonists once again do some of the things they did when they were dating in high school as adults, such as sitting together to read books, dance, and swim, I feel nauseated by the lingering. Because no matter how noble love is, when it deviates from people's normal moral values, the cloak of holiness has been taken off. Fortunately, in the end, Dawson was shot to death by his trash father, and his heart was successfully transplanted to Amanda's son. Amanda and Dawson are back together in another way.
Although this ending is somewhat unexpected, it is reasonable. It separates two lovers forever, but subtly makes this love eternal.
