Sam Claflin said that the main theme of ME BEFORE YOU is 'making choices': for someone who has suffered from tetraplegia: whether he or she will continue his or her life in the world while suffering severely for his or her whole life, or he or she will choose to have euthanasia.
Making choices can be as simple as choosing what outfit to wear to go to work or the cinema, until more serious such as which school or college to go to, or whether to marry your girlfriend or boyfriend, to the one that will decide someone's life or death.
In this movie, Will's mother strongly disagreed with Will's choice, while his father approved it. Both of them had their own reasons and I believe both loved their only son so very much. Because of love, they had two contradictory opinion.
Louisa who at first also disapproved Will's decision finally decided to accompany Will in his last moment in the world. Both actions of Lou were also triggered by her love and care for Will.
