Love and be loved, gain and loss, life and death, freedom and bondage, tolerance and selfishness...

Love and be loved, gain and loss, life and death... The younger sister was born to save her sister's life. This sentence sounds very sad. There is no autonomy in birth, and there is no right to choose in the process of growth.

Is the mother wrong? For the eldest daughter, she gave up her job, gave up her life, and devoted herself to the eldest daughter's life. She was right, she just loved the eldest daughter too much, but it was not so fair to others. . Is there anything wrong with that little daughter, let alone, she came to this world without a choice. During the past ten years of growth, blood drawing, puncture, surgery..., at the expense of health for her sister's life, but at the same time she should have the right to choose instead of being Forced, she longed to be born because of anticipation and love, she longed for the attention of her parents, and she longed for a healthy body to do all kinds of things she wanted to do. Is there anything wrong with the eldest daughter? No, she suffered from a serious illness and cancer for no reason, but this is the choice of fate, there is no way, it is objective and difficult to change.

The root of the tragedy is this disease, but this disease is difficult to solve.

Maybe acceptance is the better choice, and reconciliation is the best way. Mothers must learn to reconcile, accept the death of their daughter due to illness, and see if the eldest daughter is willing to continue meaningless surgical treatment, and pay attention to the younger daughter , let this life born with purpose be respected and enjoy its due rights.

But my deepest feeling is the unceasing love between relatives. My sister is willing to bear the pain in order to keep her alive. My sister does not want to live, but she is also willing to respect her, go to a lawsuit for her sister, and endure everything. As said in the film: "I was born for my sister, but in the end it didn't work out, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I had a sister, and our relationship continues", there is love between them Yes, and love it.

In the end, "death is death, no one can understand", but we should learn to reconcile, we should learn to accept.

(This movie is too tear-jerking, a roll of paper is not enough, and there are many points of discussion in it, I only say a little from the emotional aspect)

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: You shut up.

    Jesse Fitzgerald: Tell them why we're here. Tell them what we're doing here in court...

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [cuts in] You promised me that you wouldn't do this!

    Jesse Fitzgerald: God, you people are so stupid!

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [shouts] You promised!

    Jesse Fitzgerald: Kate wants to die!

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Stop it!

    Jesse Fitzgerald: She's making Anna do all this 'cause she knows she's not gonna survive another operation.

    Sara Fitzgerald: [yells] That's a lie, Jesse.

  • [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.
