I used to hear Faye Wong sing "I am willing to be for you, I am willing to be for you, I am willing to be exiled to the sky for you". Every time I hear this sentence, I feel very unreal. Such a paranoid and overpowering feeling can really be attributed Does the class come after the adjective "good" or "great"? If a love completely loses its sense, loses its sense of proportion, and pushes so hard that it distorts the lives of those around it. So can such love be called great? I don't know, I think there are certain feelings in this world that cannot be explained, but they have the right to exist, whether it is warmth or pain, it always touches a part of us.
Sarah gave up everything she could for her leukemia daughter, all she wanted was to keep Kate alive. She took care of Kate's daily life carefully, trying to let Kate live as freely as possible. Seeing that Kate didn't want to go out because of chemotherapy, she didn't want to go out and cried that she was ugly and a monster. She shaved her long hair without hesitation, and then took her daughter's hand and strode down the crowded street. When doctors suggested that the sibling's umbilical cord blood would be helpful for Kate's leukemia, she immediately decided to test tube a child to save Kate. When she learned that her youngest daughter, Anna, was unwilling to donate a kidney for her sister, she was furious and threw that heart-wrenching slap. When she saw the boy asking Kate for a phone number, she hurriedly emptied her bag to find a pen and handed it to the boy. When she saw that her husband was going to take the seriously ill Kate to see the sea, she cried and threatened to divorce and cut off the relationship with the man who was close to her. When everyone knew that Kate was running out of time, she still insisted on fighting the lawsuit to the end and letting Kate live for a while longer through a kidney transplant.
Sarah loves Kate in her desperate way, and because of her love, she connects to her relatives, her son Jesse, youngest daughter Anna, and husband Brian. The part of the film that depicts Sarah snubbing other people is actually an understatement, and it doesn't seem to use too much conflict to express it, except for the fact that Anna takes her parents to court for her physical dominance. Jesse didn't get much attention since he was a child. When he grew up, he often wandered the streets alone, and sometimes he went home the next morning and no one noticed. In Anna's words, she is her sister's spare tire. Her mission from birth is to donate whatever her sister needs. She has donated lymphocytes, blood, granulocytes, and bone marrow since she was 5 years old. Until she grew up, and this kind of action never stopped and could not see the end, no one asked her if she wanted to.
There is a feeling that has no end, just like the vigorously growing vines, it never stops day after day until it completely covers the original face of life. Sarah's love for Kate was finally resisted. This was the biggest conflict in the movie. Anna didn't want to donate a kidney for her sister. She felt that there was no end to this and she had the right to protect her body, so she took her parents to court.
I read the report before and thought this movie was quite creative. We were always discussing the greatness of the donor, but never thought that if a person disagrees with the donation, then he is right or wrong. As Sarah said to Anna, everyone is willing to donate kidneys for strangers, why don't you do the same for your sister, she is your sister. But precisely because Sarah said this, it was certain that even if Sarah had some thoughts of being unfair to Anna, she would feel that such injustice was reasonable. And Anna's refusal is unreasonable and should not be.
It's even more heartbreaking to hear that the plot of the original novel is more conflicted, the devastation caused by Sarah's almost paranoid love for Kate to the whole family, and the ending of the original novel is completely different from the movie. I think I still like some kind of metaphor in the movie, which may be too emotional and not as good as the original. But that's what movies are, and it hits our hearts in a variety of ways. We need a film like "The Good Man of Three Gorges" with a plain narrative without ups and downs but sincere and pure, and a work like "The Dark Knight" that is meticulously crafted and not sloppy. At the same time, we also need a movie like "Sister's Guardian". In general, it skips some seemingly good-looking conflicts, and puts in front of us an answer sheet about love and death, attachment and letting go, so that we can experience the warmth and strength through those pains.
I love Kate's smile, especially when she already knows her life is coming to an end, smiling and talking to those annoying relatives. What kind of calmness is this? The film tells the story of Kate, her pain and despair, her love, her strength and bravery, her tolerance, and her reluctance and calmness in the face of life. She closed her eyes and smiled as she faced the sea wrapped in a thick blanket, listening to the waves crashing against the sand and watching seabirds swooping by. The world owes her so much, but her smile is as selfless and beautiful as the rays of light on the sea.
The biggest conflict in the film isn't the lawsuit between Sarah and Anna. It lies in Sarah's obsession and Kate's relief. It wasn't Anna who resisted Sarah's love, it was Kate. And what she wants to protect is the whole family. She firmly believes that this family, which has brought her countless beautiful things, will definitely shine brightly after she leaves, because they are all kind and lovely people. And Sarah shouted to her like Jesse in the court: "Everyone knows Kate is not saved, you just love her too much and don't want to let go." She just didn't want to let go, didn't want to let go by herself, Even if everyone thinks that Kate's departure is the best help for Kate, she is unwilling to believe it or face it.
Little Anna protects her sister in her own way, even if this way is misunderstood, she does not regret it. She believed what her sister believed, so she asked her: "Will you wait for me when you go to that place? Where can I find you?" Children, who love her relatives so purely, are willing to do anything for them. She is willing to fight against her mother in a seemingly ridiculous but heart-warming way by not donating organs in order to save her sister from suffering. At the end of the movie, Sarah finally chose to let go, and chose to let Kate decide the direction of her life. On the night Kate left, Sarah curled up and hid in her daughter's arms. The child she protected with her whole life was actually stronger than her and knew how to love a person and a family.
I don't know how to describe such a feeling, but a sentence flashed in my mind later, "There was a person who loved me like life". This seems to be the title of a book, I haven't read it, but I think it fits right after the movie. Life is always selfish and filled with many, many sad exam questions, but it is precisely because of some indestructible force that there are so many beautiful stories in this world. Movies or novels are fictitious, they have the creator's imagination and wishes in it, but we believe that those good things always exist.
Anna said: "A long time ago, I knew I came into this world to save my sister, but in the end, I couldn't do it either. Now I understand that it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I had a sister. , she is so good.
