Probably a lot of people will talk about the love part, but it is the details of death that impress me the most.
After Nushu learned the news of Nanshu's death, the camera went back to her third year of junior high school. She saw a frozen dragonfly while skiing. She felt death in a single thought and realized the fact that her father died.
Reminds me of "Manchester by the Sea", where the son was very calm at the beginning of his father's funeral, as if he didn't have much emotion. After a long time, I saw the frozen meat in the refrigerator suddenly collapsed and cried, and suddenly realized my father's current state and realized death.
There will always be moments of being struck by death, or fearing helplessness or suppressing grief, and these are essential experiences in our lives and growth.
"We use fear to express our reverence for death." When I was young, when I thought about death, I felt very scared. It is an uncontrollable force that everyone will face eventually. Fear that death will take away the people you love most, and that death will take away all the rich experiences of life. But only later did we discover that we can truly accept it by facing death and knowing death.
