Life has no solution

I don’t know how to describe my feelings. It’s not just about moving, but about thinking. I’m not a professional film critic, and I don’t know how to evaluate a movie from a professional perspective. The pros and cons, I can only simply say from the perspective of a movie-watcher that the movie "The Guardian of My Sister" touched a lot of inner emotions and resonated with me to some extent, whether it was moved, regretted, entangled or helpless. The last thing that fell into my mind was this sentence-life is incomprehensible~

Regarding death, this is a problem that everyone tries to avoid but ultimately faces, whether our life is good, happy or painful. Unbearable, no matter if you are rich or poor, whether we live a wonderful life in this world or not, we will eventually reach the end step by step, lose contact with this world, and can no longer perceive anything. We all know this is the only way to go, but we can't face it calmly. Life may be unsatisfactory, and happiness will knock on the door late, but we are still so attached to life and refuse to leave. In the movie, the mother Sarah, in order to treat her daughter Kate, gave birth to a daughter Anna to treat Kate through genetic technology. From the birth of Anna, whether it is umbilical cord blood, white blood cells, liver cells, or bone marrow, she has to continuously provide Kate. , But still failed to stop Kate from going to death. Kate with kidney failure must ask Anna to donate a kidney to her to continue fighting against death, but it was Anna who sued her mother, Sarah, for depriving her of her physical freedom. At the end of the fight, it was Kate who wanted to give up this painful treatment, so she asked Anna to help her so that her mother Sarah had to let go. Regarding the manifestation of death in the movie, I think it is not Kate who fears it more. She knows that she is going to die soon and is in a process of waiting. After a long time, she feels tired and exhausted by this pain, and she does not want to Mother Sarah was the one who tortured her family and feared death the most. Everything she had in life from when she knew her daughter had cancer was to ensure that she still had a life, gave up her career, and ignored all the people around her, including her lover and children. She didn't want death to take Kate away from her, and she didn't want to see her leave, but after exhausting all the methods and efforts, but still failed to win death, she had to let go. I am not qualified to say anything high-sounding about death, nor can I have any metaphysical insights, but I cannot avoid the vulgarity. Like all people in the world, I fear its coming, although I understand that this is the only way in life.

Regarding letting go, sometimes we will develop a habit after insisting on one thing for a long time. You can't tell right or wrong about this habit, but just insist on not letting go. The mother Sarah in the film is like this. In the end I don’t know if she is afraid of Kate’s departure or she is afraid that what she has always believed in will collapse. Since she learned of Kate’s illness, there has been nothing else in her life. She only knows to let her daughter live. At any cost, she actually knew it was unfair to Anna, but she just couldn't let it go, she couldn't just watch her daughter leave. At the end of the film, everyone seems to be living better than before after Kate’s death. This may be a bit cruel, but this is the real life. We always have to move forward. Because of Kate’s illness, the whole family is cautious and the parents use all the money. Time and energy to protect her, but ignoring the other two children, ignoring other beautiful things in life, can not be said that she was a drag, but in the end, her departure was indeed a relief to the family to some extent. Taking a step back, would it be okay if Kate had Anna’s kidney transplanted? What if it becomes a tragedy of two children? Perhaps we shouldn’t make assumptions like this. How can life be so precious? How can we allow so many assumptions? ~ People’s intellect is certainly valuable, and everyone knows that when we should let go, we must let go, but who can face it calmly when facing such a choice, otherwise life will not have so many unsolvable melancholy .

Regarding love, although Kate failed to conquer the illness and left at the end of the film, what we saw was full of love and moving. Mother and family’s love for Kate, Kate and Taylor’s love, Kate’s for family Love...Until I knew that Anna was in a lawsuit because Kate asked her to help her out, my heart was always in a state of conflict and entanglement. How should Anna's health and freedom Kate's life be weighed? There is an emergency in the law. To avoid danger, in special circumstances, small interests can be sacrificed to preserve big interests, but it also clearly states that life cannot be larger or smaller. Yes, everyone’s life is only once is so precious. How can one sacrifice one’s own freedom It’s an unsolvable problem to exchange for another person’s life with health~~ However, the lawsuit in this dispute was not because of such conflicts of interest, but because of love. Kate didn’t want her family to suffer for her anymore. Tormented, and I don’t want to suffer any more, so I chose to give up Anna’s donation and let my life pass away like this, with the love of my family, at least this life is not wasteful...

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: When I was a kid, my mother told me that I was a little piece of blue sky that came into this world because she and Dad loved me so much. It was only later that I realized that it wasn't exactly true. Most babies are coincidences. I mean, up in space you've got all these souls flying around looking for bodies to live in. Then, down here on Earth, two people have sex or whatever, and bam, coincidence. Sure, you hear all these stories about how everyone plans these perfect families. But the truth is that most babies are products of drunken evenings and lack of birth control. They're accidents. Only people who have trouble making babies actually plan for them.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I, on the other hand, am not a coincidence. I was engineered. Born for a particular reason. A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs and my father's sperm to make a specific combination of genes. He did it to save my sister's life. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Kate had been healthy. I'd probably still be up in heaven or wherever, waiting to be attached to a body down here on Earth. But coincidence or not, I'm here.
