At least you will say sorry

After watching the whole show, the most memorable sentence for me is Henry's sentence to Olive, "You haven't even said a single word of apology to me for so many years." In my opinion, Olive is a sad person, and even more so. A free and easy person who lives his own way in his life, never bows his head to anyone, is always mean, and always thinks he is right. A person who doesn't know how to reconcile with the world just lives stubbornly. Fortunately, she also has a good-natured husband who is very different from her, a lover who understands her thoughts, a son who deserves hope, and a loyal dog.
The image of husband Henry is kind and saintly. He knows how to get along with an avoidant personality for a lifetime and knows how to lower expectations. After Olive threw away the card he sent, he would still love to send her a card with "I love you" printed on it again. Some people say that there is no middle-aged marriage without spiritual derailment, even the saint-like Henry is no exception. He said that if she was really with her lover, she would definitely not be able to bear her lover's daily drinking, and she said that if he was really with the little mouse, she would definitely not be able to bear her noise. But Henry and Olive chose to accept each other's personality after confronting each other.
After Henry's death, Olive began to reflect on whether he was too mean to his husband. Everyone has death worship more or less. The concept of "the dead is the greatest" is not only owned by the Chinese, but a universal concept. Writers can use death to make more people read their works, suspects can use death to exonerate their crimes, and empty-nesters can use death to wake up the nerves of their unworthy descendants. Guilt towards the dead is a projection of the fear of death. People would say that if Osamu Dazai hadn't committed suicide, more works might have survived. As everyone knows, it is the yearning for suicide that is the source of Dazai Osamu's creation. It seems that death itself is not something to be saddened by. More important than mourning the dead and recalling the past is how to treat the living and how to avoid more regrets.
Death is the cruelest teacher, he taught Olive how to forgive the world. After the attempted suicide, Olive found someone who was as mean as himself. After losing their loved ones one after another, they put away their usual thorns and cuddled with each other, and their hearts were peaceful, as if death was tomorrow.
Many people can find their own shadow in Olive, longing for the care of others but stingy in giving them care, good at seeing through others but unable to see through themselves. So in order not to be Olive, reconcile, with the world, with yourself.
