Adam Schwartz, 27 years old, has no bad habits and likes jogging. There is a childhood sweetheart, a beautiful girlfriend, a demented father, a nagging mother, and a stable and promising job. Such a dull life is neither good nor bad, until he is diagnosed with a rare cancer. At the beginning, he tried to remain calm and calm, but as the chaos of life aggravated his girlfriend's betrayal, he could not avoid gradually falling into a process of hope—disappointment—despair that a cancer patient must go through. During the treatment, he met Rose, an intern who was in charge of psychological counseling for him. Although the naturally silly Rose lacked medical experience, he mistakenly gave Adam emotional salvation, so with the encouragement of his relatives and friends, Adam was sent to the operating table that determined his fate.
I love this kind of movie that makes people cry and laugh! ! ! The lowly fat Logan, the dull cheating, the embarrassing and embarrassing Cerf, the strange sparks of these three people make this "anti-cancer me" the first thing to be true in the character image. But what’s more real is that this movie is adapted from the personal experience of the original author Will Risell, and in that unforgettable memory, the one who has been standing behind Will to support him and help him is exactly the one who has been standing behind Will to help him. Silo is the root person. So in the film, we see more, not the dramatic plot or exaggerated performance and deliberate sensation, but the bits and pieces of real life, when those subtle warm familiar details appear, as long as With a single click, we are moved to melt away.

Adam is a good young man. This promising young man who didn't even forget to wait for the traffic lights to take the zebra crossing when he was running in the morning was hit by a tumor in his waist. When I first learned of the illness, I was pretending to be as calm as him. I was still in a trance and blurred vision. Of course, God did not have a score sheet on his hands. Diseases, of course, came to everyone's head equally like happiness. Fortunately, Adam didn't want to break his head for the low-level problem of "why me", but calmly told his relatives and friends, shaved his head and actively received treatment, and even met two very sensitive patients in the hospital. When he knew that his best friend had a cancer that he couldn't remember, Logan's fat phrase "I'm gonna throw up" didn't know how many people laughed, but from beginning to end, he kept it in front of Adam. Such an optimistic attitude.
Think about it, you just broke up with your girlfriend walking down the street, on the left is your loyal dog, on the right is your loyal friend, and your friend is nagging, he said: "(break up) this It's actually a good thing, why? Because you should have better, much better, if I were your girlfriend, do you know what I would do? I'd be sucking your cock every thirty minutes! I I’ll bake cookies with you all day! I’ll take a small cookie bath for you!!" While you said "I'm going to throw up", you look at your friend's big, shaggy face, except to give him in your heart. What can you do better with a wet kiss? And when Adam turned over the book "FACE CANCER TOGETHER" that was almost ripped up by hook paintings in Cairogen's fat toilet, he really didn't need to say more, he was not alone.

Adam is lucky, because besides the fat Logan behind him, there are also family members who care about him and the seemingly unreliable Dr. Rose. Although Rose is his mental counseling doctor, there is a car full of junk food and packaging bags and a love that she cannot recover. Under excessive pressure, her brain defense mechanism will be activated, that is, brain short circuit. La, with her pair of dizzying eyes and her aggressive front teeth, it's so cute!
The oldest criterion for judging the quality of a movie is whether it can trigger your thinking. After watching the movie, my biggest gain is to understand that when you are trapped in your own abyss, don’t forget all those who care about you, every family has hard-to-read sutras, love is a bubble, life is a trouble , Either one or the other. While Adam was fighting his own disease, he had no idea that his mother had joined a mutual aid group organized specifically for the parents of children with cancer. As a woman, she was not only the wife of a dementia patient, but also The mother of a cancer patient, as the closest person around them, the feeling of powerlessness may be more terrifying than the disease itself. And all the fetters between the child and the family are nothing more than the phrase "you don't have to say you're sorry". Needless to say, sorry, as long as you can disperse the fog and regain the cherished family relationship, it will never be too late. .

The last thing I want to talk about is that doomed character-Adam's ex-girlfriend Rachel, who was scolded by Logan and kicked out of the house by Adam. But Teresa's "bitch" was actually very helpless. Feelings belong to the moral level, and morality is not right or wrong. Rachel wanted to be a competent girlfriend and worked hard for it. To blame she can only be blamed for not being the kind of person who knows how to take care of others. It is beyond her ability to empathize with a person’s happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. She is just an ordinary woman pretending to be strong who has encountered a career crisis, and in more anti-cancer stories, it is Rachel that appears fat instead of Logan. This is just human nature.

As an independent film, "The Anti-Cancer Me" has reached an excellent level in all aspects. For the first time, Jessoff made a bald appearance and contributed a real and touching performance. The film was originally called "50:50", half and half, everything is like this, including life itself, the difference is the half we face, half of the good or half of the bad. There are countless movies repeating the same sentence, that is: cherish the good time of life, cherish the love of you and the people you love, there is you, I have him, all the big things, all will be OK.
I wish you all good health.
