Although the love in this film is pure, warm, and natural, it would not be so brilliant without the foreshadowing and support of a special background. Love comes from mutual understanding in desperation, knowing each other and loving each other. It is precisely because of similar tragic experiences and destined common destination that the two are tightly bound, and it is also because of their special identities that both of them have tasted what they should not have in their own world before they know each other. Due to the loneliness of adolescence, Gu Si has long since dropped out of school, and Hae Zhen can only be with her parents all day long. Their encounters are commonplace, without any romantic bridges, and they are not standard handsome men and women, and the old routine of seeing faces at first sight will not happen. But in that despairing state of waiting for death, a playful joke, a warm smile, or even an unintentional look at each other, all seemed precious to them. This kind of emotional connection is like Hae-chan's respirator and Gus's prosthetic leg, which supports a poor life that is no longer complete, a bit like a revolutionary comrade-in-arms, stubbornly retaining the stars in a life that is not yet mature and strong, but has long been broken A little bit of warmth.
Maybe this is God's compensation for them, so that they can experience some kind of emotional resonance beyond the ordinary love between children in their short life. This kind of feeling is more direct and pure, and it does not need romantic decoration and passion. cannot be separated. The most touching quality of a character is to try his best to fight for the last few opportunities in his life to feel the taste of happiness for the other party. No matter whether it is Hae-Zen's lovesickness tomorrow and night, but because she is terminally ill and afraid of hurting Gu Si, she deliberately distances herself, and decides to throw herself into loneliness. Or Gus, in order to always bring positivity and joy to Hae Zhen, always kept humorous and sunny, until his condition deteriorated and he couldn't hide it. It is the strength of this life that finally blooms out of love, which is very moving.
In this work, the meaning of existence for each other is vividly presented, which is more intense than the strict logic and obscure expression in "Walking in the White Night". The plot of Gus's memorial service during his lifetime really made the audience feel the intense emotional impact of crying with laughter, or crying and laughing.
In short, due to the special background of the film, the probe of human nature may not be universal (it is not unusual for people to do anything at the last moment), but it still makes people feel the strongest love and warmth.
