Seeing the heart through the eyes

It was a little boring at first, and it felt a little out of tune. But as the flashback deepens, I begin to discover that this is a story of self-salvation and love.

The original Tim just wanted to make up for the mistakes he made, and decided to use his organs to help those in need, thereby redeeming himself. However, in the contact with the recipient of his heart, he developed love and even wanted to live for it. Unfortunately, the reality is very cruel. If he does not donate his heart, his beloved may die because of it. , Tim gave his heart, at this time not only redemption, but also love and sacrifice. I feel that the whole cold story has a warmth. Tim was initially breathless under the pressure of death and then sacrificed for love. Love sublimated and Tim rested in peace.

My favorite person in the whole film is Emily, a patient with congenital heart failure. But he is so grateful and full of enthusiasm for life. I don't know if I can live until tomorrow, but I still love today and I still want to live a wonderful life. Perhaps it was Emily's cherishing of life that made Tim shaken about his own death. And let your redemptive heart be filled with love. We should also love life like her, although life is not all joy and happiness for you.

In the last shot, when Emily and Ezra (the recipient of the cornea) were embracing and crying, I think Tim did it, let his eyes see his heart, and it was beautiful!

Wil's performance is still good, the kind of repression to the kind of reluctance to give up is very convincing.

  • Ben Thomas: The first time I ever saw a box jellyfish, I was twelve. Our father took us to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I never forgot what he said... That it was the most deadly creature on earth. To me it was just the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
