Sofia Vassilieva, who played the role of her sister, also played the eldest daughter in "Spirit Medium", and Abigail Breslin, who played the role of her sister, also played the younger daughter in "Little Miss Sunshine". They are all actors I am very familiar with, and they are familiar with family dramas.
After reading it, I browsed the plot of the original novel, especially the original text at the end. In the original novel, the youngest daughter, Anna, got into a car accident in a lawyer's car on the way after winning the trial. She donated her organs to her sister and other patients who needed donations when she was in critical condition.
I saw some dissatisfied readers saying, "The author of the novel drove his car into the book and killed Anna so that she could donate her kidney to her sister." I am also very dissatisfied with such an unexpected ending. The revised ending is more acceptable. I believe that the audience shed tears because it is closer to real life.
Overall, Kate and Taylor's love takes up too much unnecessary space. The eldest son's rebellious childhood has also been transformed into a large section of MTV under the neon lights, even if the background is very contagious music (Jimmy Scott's Heaven and Greg Laswell's Girls just want to have fun), or let People feel that I miss the point, and I basically failed to grasp the growth trajectory of my eldest son.
But there are also remarkable places, the soundtrack is a little bit. I especially liked that before Kate was about to die, all three aunts and six grandmothers came to see her scene. The screenwriter of this scene must have had the experience of a close relative who died of a terminal illness. Relatives who are not very close came to visit and gave a copy of "How to Meditate" and "How to Overcome the Sickness", and sent a word or two of encouragement such as "It will definitely get better" with a very concerned and energetic expression. Then, in an atmosphere that was slowly becoming awkward, they started talking about how they saw on TV how a woman who had overcome her illness said to herself "Go away, cancer cells" every day. Until the nurse came in in a timely manner and said that the visit time was over, everyone pretended to be unwilling to leave just after arriving. But you can imagine how relieved they were when they walked out of the ward.
It is not that all relatives can share the pain of the patient, but at that time, only those who have really experienced it can realize that those relatives who experience the pain and suffering with the patient at every moment are the people who are closest to them. Their joys, sorrows and sorrows are all tied together, and they feel guilty even laughing when they think of a close relative who is still being tortured.
In the original book, it was written in the tone of mother Sarah: "In English, there are words like orphan and widow, but there is no word for parents who have lost a child." "The feeling of loss is like drawing with a crayon. In the sky, there are no words to describe such great sadness."
Reminds me of the time I lost my mother seven years ago. Although such an ending had been expected many times during the months when the disease that afflicted her dragged on, the moment it really came, it was still so helpless. After she left, the family had her photos were received in the depths of the drawer.
"I put it there for the day I finally started not remembering her: maybe there will be a morning when the first thing I see when I wake up is not her face; or a lazy August afternoon when I remember It's not clear whether her birthmark was on the left shoulder or the right; maybe one day, I can't hear her footsteps in the sound of the snow falling."
