The

loss of a loved one is the greatest pain in the world, but sometimes it is also a relief. The torture of disease not only suffers from patients, but also suffers from relatives and friends, so some patients choose to get out of this sea of ​​bitterness by self-closing. Imagine someone who doesn’t know the value of life, who doesn’t look forward to the beauty of the future, but fate is sometimes cruel. Some people are just one in ten thousand, born with an incurable terminal illness, so their wish is to end this It was a journey on earth, and it was so compelling.

The mother played by Cameron Diaz in the film can be said to be a breakthrough. At least in my impression, Cameron Diaz is an actor of the vase type. There are many movies she starred in all of the same kind. Route, uses her youthful beauty to attract the public, but in "The Guardian of My Sister", it has another feeling, ordinary, stubborn, maternal love. Perseverance presents another Cameron Diaz, she regards one as Love, for the family, for the mother who has suffered from the torture and contradiction of the relatives, the true perfection.

The performances of the two little actors are also indispensable. Abigail Branslin, who played his younger sister, was once the star of "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" and became popular through this film. His pure and naughty image is widely loved by the public. Although the actor Sophia Wishineva is not familiar to Chinese audiences, she sacrificed her image for the film. She has a good grasp of the role and can be regarded as a new star with potential in the future.

The film uses narrative methods to unfold the plot, and recalls the past through a cut of paintings by sister Kate. Kate loves her little sister the most. She is a substitute for her own treatment since she was born. She feels that there is no hope for recovery, so she unites the whole family to stop her mother's stubbornness, hoping to maintain a complete and happy family. She understands her mother's love and the family's love for her, but she must protect her little sister's future and fulfill this wish with her only weak power.

Everyone in the film is the guardian of the sister. They take care of this short life with selfless love, and their actions touched every one of us. Maybe we feel that even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must fight to the end, but the reality is only a futile return. Learning to be willing to wait until it is good, Kate may confess her heart to her mother before her death, mother, thank you for your love, but there is another kind of love called letting go.

    Although it has changed slightly from the novel, it is still very touching.

    In fact, I think the narrative is good, the flashbacks are big and small, but it is not messy, it is easy to connect, isn't it? Sensational? OK, but I hate to point fingers at this. In fact, I am more concerned about medical ethics lawsuits, moral and emotional conflicts, and the impact of a family member's disease on the family's life. It doesn't say anything. It still feels like a great simplification. Maybe it would be better to make a TV show.

My Sister's Keeper quotes

  • [first lines]

    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.

  • Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body.

    Campbell Alexander: Would you repeat that, please?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body. My sister has leukemia. They're trying to force me to give her my body parts.

    Campbell Alexander: You're supposed to give her a kidney?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: She's been in renal failure for months now.

    Campbell Alexander: Well, no one can force you to donate if you don't want to, can they?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: They think they can. I'm under 18, they're my legal guardians.

    Campbell Alexander: They can't do that.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Well, I want you to tell them, because they've been doing it to me my whole life. I wouldn't even be alive if Kate wasn't sick. I'm a designer baby. I was made in a dish to be spare parts for Kate.
