The last quarter of the movie, I couldn't control the sobbing while watching it. I put myself in the role of TIM, and I was thinking, if the person I love is infected with AIDS because of me, lying in the hospital bed all day long and suffering, and the originally strong body has become so weak, this is better than cutting me with a knife heart is also painful.
He didn't blame me, he gritted his teeth and endured being stabbed into his lungs with a scalpel, and just winked at me when he was done: You see, that's all. I looked at him and remembered the spring and summer when we had known each other for fifteen years, and remembered that he was the first and only love I had ever loved. I knew that even if I hadn't been killed by the disease, I wouldn't be able to live the rest of my life in peace. So when I exhausted everything to complete the script and completely recorded all the traces of our love, I knew that I could finally leave everything behind and join you in another world.
Although I know that no matter how long, you will be there waiting for me, but heaven is beautiful, and I am afraid that you will be lonely.

Those last two sentences are a tearjerker.

    I've seen a lot of this subject, and the actors are not eye-catching enough, so I'm a little weak. The first man with short hair is barely okay, but the uncles forcefully act as students when they curl their hair, really...
