If love has providence

The brilliance of humanity shown in this film is so great and so persistent that it makes people cry. The ending isn't happy, but it seems ideal, for the living. In the end, Kate still did not overcome the disease. After struggling for many years, he finally got the long-awaited release. Without being there, we can't understand Kate's pain that life is worse than death. In her view, death is a real relief. She has a great mother. A mother with such a strong heart and such a strong will. From the moment she learned of K's condition, the mother made a decision and was firm to the end: she would do whatever it took to keep her daughter alive. For this she gave birth to another life: Ana, who was given life to save K. From the age of 5, Ana began to deliver blood cells to her sister, continuing her sister's life with her own body. Mother put all her love, all her energy on Kate just because she was sick and terminally ill. She is vulnerable, she needs to be cared for and loved. But why doesn't Ana need love? Why doesn't she want to have a colorful childhood and grow up happily in the love of her parents. But her childhood was grey. Childhood scenes are more often seen with doctors, big needles, and sticky fluids that are constantly being pumped out of one's body. From the day she was born, she was given a responsibility: to save her sister. This is the sole purpose of her mother's birth, and it is very clear. The little girl silently assumed this responsibility, endured the pain caused by countless operations, and had no complaints.
Until one day, the little girl decided to change the trajectory set by her mother to continue. She offered not to donate a kidney for her sister. The mother's anger exploded in an instant. He yelled at Ana for being selfish and shameless, and beat her. All along, the mother is the decision maker and the rule maker for the family. What she has done for Kate is enough to prove that she is a great mother, admirable. The sanctity and selflessness of mother's love are vividly portrayed by her. But from the perspective of the whole family, she played a failing role. On the issue of saving Kate, she was too arbitrary, too decisive. Decided to go at all costs. She only wanted a life result, albeit with a bleak outlook. Death cannot be established in her world. She lost so much for this time. Work, the originally happy relationship between husband and wife, the joy of the whole family and even the love for the other two children. For this reason, she was exhausted, but her daughter's condition did not improve. She knew the result, and it was bound to end without a hitch. But she chose to deceive herself. Turn a blind eye. She makes irrational decisions with blind love.
When a person finally dies, no one can escape the doomed doom. Sometimes we need to let go, and strong will doesn't change everything. The mother's heart is too strong, there is no doubt that the power is strong. She is too emotional, betting on K's life with everyone's happiness. Torment everyone with K's pain. No one is happy, and everyone suffers for something that never ends. Mother's greatness is unquestionable, but she lacks a sense of the whole. The feasibility and rationality of this matter have not been considered from the perspective of the whole family. Blind optimism. Did a deed. With the support of his mother's strong will and the selfless help of Ana, K survived. The mother rarely gets to know K's true thoughts. She took it for granted that K must want to continue to live. As a mother, she decided to take up this responsibility and let this life continue. Responsibility. No hesitation. It turned out that the drama of the whole thing was entirely K's intention, not Ana's selfish decision for her own sake. K couldn't stop her mother's paranoia and insistence, she wanted to be free from the pain of illness. In desperation, he turned to Ana for help and asked her to act, delaying the operation. K knows her condition best, and she knows she is powerless. Implanting Ana's kidneys would not help. So I don't want my sister to make unnecessary sacrifices. She owed Ana too much. Ana is unfortunate, she has carried too much pain that she should not have carried at a young age. Both body and mind. She is undoubtedly a great child.
When the truth finally came out, I was moved again by K's rational calmness and Ana's open-mindedness and tolerance. It's just that their mothers are so persistent that they are almost cruel, and believe in the truth that man can conquer heaven, but they don't know that wishful thinking and colleagues who go against their wishes often go hand in hand. But I marveled at her steadfastness and greatness. Indestructible and shocking. The normal life of a family continued because of K's death. K is relieved that her departure brings a brighter life and new hope.

    For me, movies and novels are the presentation of multiple-choice questions. I am afraid that movies want to leave the audience with hope. I am afraid I have to tactfully refuse.

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.
