“I believe this movie deserves a better score. I didnu0026#39;t quite understand it myself when I watched it for the first time, but I slowly digested it.nThe core of this story is u0026quot;ifu0026quot; and u0026quot;pityu0026quot;. We miss so many chances in our lives, we feel sorry, we regret, and we cry. This movie gives us a chance to catch all the u0026quot;ifu0026quot;s and correct the unconscious mistakes. However weu0026#39;ll never be able to correct all the mistakes and we even make more new mistakes during this process. We feel empty and lonely.nThis is life, the mistakes and pity make life what it is. Thereu0026#39;s always beautiful scenery on the way besides the fireworks. When we become peaceful with life, we grow up.”
