I watched the first "me before you" under the recommendation of my friend, and I saw tears all the time ...
Before the accident, Will was a young and ambitious banker on Wall Street, who loved extreme challenges and beautiful girls. He once owned and controlled everything, love, honor, money. A after the car accident, but he can only rely on wheelchairs and carers to live.
Lou is a girl who is "wonderful" in others' eyes and wears bold clothes. After she was fired, she accepted a job as a care worker because of her livelihood. At the same time, she doesn't like sports, but in order to support her boyfriend, she reluctantly does it herself. Lou is an optimistic, cheerful and enthusiastic girl. When she knew that will was going to be euthanized, lou tried every means to change will's decision, taking him to a game, wearing a red skirt and taking him to a concert and an outing. In the process, they knew each other and fell in love, but in the end lou couldn't change will's decision, and will hoped lou could accompany him to the end.
At first, will was paraplegic, and lou lived an optimistic and cheerful life. I thought that lou saved will, and they would live happily together like a princess and a prince in a fairy tale. Later, I learned that it was will who saved lou, saved lou's soul and changed lou's life. Will told lou that there is only one life, so she should try bravely, take responsibility for her own life, and encourage her to go out of the town she calls home and pursue her dreams, regardless of other people's eyes. And will gave lou enough spiritual and material support.
People around will hope that he can continue to live, but Will can't accept that he is so different from the day before yesterday, he can't live independently, he can't take risks, and he has to endure great pain ... and decides to be euthanized. In our life, it is always emphasized that living is always good, just as it is often said that living is better than dying. I think in a situation like will's, we should give the choice between life and death to the client and respect his choice. If he chooses to live, we should continue to take care of his life and accompany him. If he chooses to die, we should also respect his choice and let him live a full and satisfying life for the rest of his life.
for love, sometimes it doesn't have to be possessed. Now that will knows that he won't live long enough to give lou the normal life that others can give him, he chooses to let go, choose perfection, let others give lou a normal love life, and let lou fly higher and farther and become a better self.
Finally, Will left a letter to the heroine, once again encouraging her to jump out of her comfort zone, experience a different life, be a fearless person, face life bravely, break through herself, and don't give up easily. To live boldly. Push yourself. Don’t settle.
Clark, I can practically hear you starting to hyperventilate from here. Don’t start panicking, or trying to give it away – it’s not enough for you to sit on your arse for the rest of your life. But it should buy you your freedom, both from that claustrophobic little town we both call home, and from the kind of choices you have so far felt you had to make.
