What kind of movie is this?

Another movie that made me cry at the end.

I heard before that this is a charity film about doing good deeds, but I think it is a self-salvation film.

To be honest, it was only at the end that I was able to connect individuals who seemed unrelated to the film. At the same time, I understand why Ben did so many strange things. So I thought that we have such a judgment sentence when we train volunteers, "Volunteers are not self-serving, but only benefit others." This kind of behavior is too noble and great, and we do not advocate it. It is not what we want to encourage to sacrifice ourselves to save others. But this is irrelevant for Ben to do this.

Because it all came about as a result of a car accident caused by his erratic driving. So, so this can only be regarded as atonement for him.

But what is the meaning of life beyond that? How much courage does it take for a person to use his own life to pay for his mistakes? Well, I think it really needs courage, but Ben's courage is not for repayment, but because of the pain of losing his fiancée. Losing the other half of his life, how painful it is for him to live!

When Ben is ready for all this, he can laugh at the end of his life. So he can donate his property to those in need as much as possible. But in the process of his choice, he encountered love!

He meets Emily and slowly falls in love with her. But Emily's situation and the game "HOPE" he played with her after the rain, he knew she wanted to live. So in the end he committed suicide for his lover. . .

So this is a love movie!
