My sister's keeper... A test-tube baby born to save my sister from leukemia. She has provided her with various medical support and various cells since birth. When her sister's condition continued to deteriorate and her kidney failure needed a kidney transplant, the 11-year-old girl sued her mother to court to fight for control of her body and refused to give her sister a kidney transplant. In the final trial, the elder brother couldn't help but tell the truth. It was the elder sister who didn't want to continue doing unnecessary struggles and taught her how to help herself out of the pain. Through the monologues and memories of each family member, the film gradually forms a complete story. They all love each other deeply and are saving the family in their own way. It's not a tragedy, and I don't use crying as a sensational purpose. After reading it, I just feel that life is really beautiful! Cameron Diaz has few non-comedy roles, and the acting bursts seem to be very close to the actress.

    I'm so terrible. After the two sick children lay down together, I actually remembered the scene in Journey to the West where the king and queen woke up and their hair was shaved. I just laughed after crying. so boring. . .

My Sister's Keeper quotes

  • [last lines]

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I'll never understand why Kate had to die and we all got to live. There's no reason for it, I guess. Death's just death, nobody understands it. Once upon a time, I thought I was put on Earth to save me sister. And in the end, I couldn't do it. I realize now, that wasn't the point. The point was I had a sister. She was fantastic. One day I'm sure I'll see her again. But until then, our relationship continues.

  • Aunt Kelly: I know it's important for you to feel like you never gave up. I mean, who are you if you're not this crazy bitch mother fighting for her kid's life, right? But there's, like, a whole world out there. You don't see any of it. Nothing. Sooner or later, you... you gotta stop. You gotta let go.

    Sara Fitzgerald: ...I can't.
