never sought me before, I loved my life, but this isn’t my life,
not even close……You only get one life. You actually have to
live it as fully as possible.”, Will said in the movie line, that’s
why he couldn’t bear the inability of feeling his life with
paralysis after the traffic accident, so he made the tough
decision to accept euthanasia in Switzerland. Throughout the
movie, I could understand the main subject of this movie talked
about love and euthanasia, even the movie ended with
happiness, it presented to us that we all should learn how to
live well and die peacefully.

Moreover, the hardest thing was when we faced someone
we loved, but had to let him go, die in front of us, what a
killing painful emotion and heart-broken process every time I
tried to feel with Louisa, the main actress. If I was Will, what
would I do? Would I choose to die with dignity and peacefully,
surrounded by my family and my love? Or keep living just for
what reason? If I was Louisa, would I let my love dying in
front of me?

Although Louisa had been through the lesson of losing
love, she restarted her life eventually and had the wisdom and
courage to live well, just as Will hoped. Loving can hurt
sometimes, but loving can heal, as the movie's main theme
lyrics present the process. It’s not only a choice of life but also
a challenge of courage. I think Will and Louisa were very brave
