Crazy people should do crazy things

The film's setting and picture aesthetics are strong, and the audio-visual language of Veronica's state when she committed suicide and vertigo is well represented.

Veronica and Edward did a very beautiful way of interacting with the paragraph details through the piano, and they also accurately expressed emotional fluctuations.

The characters have been changed from the original, and are more suitable for the era when the film was filmed.

There are too many emotional lines between Veronica and Edward in the film, which can easily lead to the misunderstanding of "love cures depression" among audiences who are not readers of the original book. In fact, everyone should know that love cannot cure depression, only medicine and self-redemption, and love is only a gift of recovery.

The most touching part is the escape from the madhouse. The light and shadow cast by the sun through the woods is like the feeling of secretly kissing your first love when you are ignorant. They basked in the sun and looked at the sculptures, only to realize that life is still so beautiful.

"Crazy people should do crazy things. If you want to leave, I'll take you. Give me a moment, I'll get a coat, bring some money, and we'll go."

Edward accompanied her to do what she wanted to do before she died, and gave each other a new life during this period.

Maybe people always know their hearts when they know they are going to die.

We always want to be the correct selves in the secular sense under certain shackles, and seldom follow the true heart, which leads to certain diseases in the heart. When a correct understanding of life, some knots will suddenly open up.

I really like the background setting of Edward in the movie. It is simpler and more lovely than the original, with less burden and a more relaxed ending.
