My Sister's Keeper--About Kinship Love

I don't want to type these words because my mind is confused and typing is a hassle. The basis of all plot settings is love, the word that is always being discussed. Each character is full of emotions, both advantages and disadvantages. Everyone except Mama's emotional performance is calm. Is it to highlight Mama's hysteria? She has the responsibility of guarding the family, so she is the object of emphasis and the only person with a clear bottom line. She proposed "side". She is the only emotional outburst in the whole film. Sorry. The first hour is unknown, so the checkmate ending that haunts the whole film attracts moviegoers to see the solution to the matter. The ending is abnormal, but there are traces to follow. After all, this is the only basis for things to be established and not to destroy the family. To explain It is too idealistic and too realistic. The degree of control is still OK, but the blinding golden light must be deducted. For the final monologue, it is enough to be less emotional. I don’t know if it’s the reason why I needed to watch the movie recently or the movie itself. The word deliberately lingers in the whole movie.

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

  • [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.
