express, understand, respect, acknowledge

The whole story is expressed in different ways by different people, and the constant memory pushes the whole story to continue to develop in chronological order.

In the beginning, Anna was expressing that she had been used as a tool since she was born, which is an established fact, albeit with her own emotional overtones. Of course, the love for her sister made her willing to pay. This leads people to think about technology and "people". Is creating a person a violation of people's rights? I don't want to be born Why should I be created, of course this was rejected later, but it is the same as Kate's "I don't want to continue to be tortured, why should I continue to live".

A good movie always throws out questions to make people think. Of course, it is very mentally retarded to simply throw out thinking without one's own views, or whoever is idle is a pain in the ass.

There is also the expression of the mother, the mother can be said to have fully fulfilled her responsibilities and played her role well. It can be said to be unscrupulous with the goal of a certain benefit. This goal is to keep the daughter alive, and then only consider happiness. So mom will insist that her daughter be in the hospital for Kate's life, and she is not allowed to go to the beach or anything. When her daughter lay on the bed and gave up, she would also shave her head to support her daughter's love and so on.

It can be said that Anna's persistence and mother's persistence have been fighting against each other, but this story is actually caused by Kate fighting against her mother.

Kate's expression was ignored by her mother countless times. The doctor's advice, the advice of other organization personnel, and her own sister's expression did not make the mother bow her head. Kate, who was unable to resist, pulled her sister Anna and younger brother Jesse in her own camp. The two of them pulled the support of her father and lawyer, and finally the support of the judge. Finally, she finally understood that her mother understood the 11-year-old girl she claimed in law. Without medical autonomy and kinship, one’s own love is unsupported and unrecognized. In the end, the mother's line of defense was defeated.

The mother's insistence is because she thinks she is doing nothing wrong. She has been expressing that she uses her toughness to make others understand, respect and recognize, but she has not been truly recognized. Relatives, friends, peers, and the supreme law were not on her side, and in the end Kate really let her mother give up.

The scene where Kate hugs and comforts her mother the night before her death is truly touching. The mother was crying bitterly on the bed, curled up in pain, like a child. And Kate hugged her mother to comfort her mother, like an adult. Kate couldn't let go of her mother if she didn't leave. After knowing that her mother finally understood, she also let go to find Taylor.

  • [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.
