The meaning of life is to experience

Humans are the smartest and most powerful creatures. They are good at counterfeiting and foreign objects and tools. They constantly surpass their natural self. Sharp teeth, an earthquake and a natural disaster can wipe out human beings. Despite the continuous progress of medicine, we are still helpless in the face of many diseases. When disaster strikes us, how can we deal with it?

"Sister's Guardian" is adapted from the novel of the same name. First of all, it tells a story well. The peaceful and happy life of a family was completely changed after it was discovered that their daughter had leukemia. In order to find matching blood and organs, the little daughter was carefully matched to become a test-tube baby, and after birth, it became an accessory warehouse that saved her sister's life. In the following eleven years, my sister was hospitalized countless times, and her umbilical cord blood, lymph, and bone marrow were drawn, until she needed to donate a kidney; her sister did not say goodbye to the pain completely. Tiredly continuing her life; her mother quit her job as a lawyer and devoted her eleven years to taking care of her sister's life and saving her life; another little boy in the family also spent his childhood neglected; his father In the family's laughter and play, experience the looming crisis.

This kind of plot introduction should make people feel the most sad and sad. Indeed, when the mother found out that her beloved daughter had cancer, the state of shock and grief that did not break out was extremely contagious, making viewers feel empathy, and had a very tear-jerking effect... But the film makes people experience more warmth The love of the family, the beautiful feeling of life. My sister understands that life is short, she edited old photos and photo stickers, and made a photo album for her mother. Maybe one day life will disappear, but the memory will last forever. Memories reappear from time to time along with the production process. The family had dinner at the dinner table, and the children performed their own sketches. The sister who lost her hair walks in the crowd calmly and laughing; all kinds of funny and joyful photo stickers... It is best to have quality and quantity in life, but if you can only choose between quality and quantity, you will be more willing The choice is short, but a better life; There is such a conflict in the play. My sister wants to go to the sea, and my father wants to fulfill her wish, so he decides to pick up my sister from the hospital and take the children to the beach. My mother is afraid that it will affect my sister's treatment and disease. When the family comes to the beach, when my sister closes her eyes and raises her head slightly, feeling the breeze of the sea, the touch of the sun, the smell of the sea, and the laughter of my sister and aunt riding the waves and playing in the water, can you feel the beauty of life at this moment? . Would you be willing to trade a month of life on a hospital bed full of tubes for the free experience of this day?

The young sister even encountered love, a boy who also suffers from leukemia. Illness makes people pessimistic, but youthful love is as happy as a bird. He said: I only met you because of my illness, and I am very happy that I am sick. She said: Me too. Although he was taken away by the disease in a hurry, the anxiety when love came, the panic, the joy, the sweet joy of hugging and kissing each other, the warmth and comfort of each other during chemotherapy, the surprise when attending the dance, and the mutual possession. This is the best time ever had, enough!

A very important line in the film is that the eleven-year-old sister hires a lawyer, applies for medical autonomy over her body, and refuses to donate her kidney to her sister. This line has provoked serious ethical conflicts. It is important to save my sister, so can I wantonly hurt my sister's body? The person who kidnapped her sister with morality can accuse her, how could she bear not to save her sister's life? This is a dilemma, especially for a mother, but the reason why the sister was born and the meaning of her existence is to save the life of her sister. The mother has never wavered and struggled, and never regarded her sister as a An independent individual with thoughts, pain and feelings. It's not fair to my sister, especially since she's an underage child, and I'm on my sister's side in this film. But the mother should be understood. She is like a trapped beast, stubbornly grasping any faint hope to save the child, just because she is a mother. The film does not interpret this cruel choice of dilemma, rescue and sacrifice to the end, but asks my sister to give up her life and calmly accept the truth of the coming of death, and leads the perspective further to the dignity of life and the quality of life.

The elder sister is gone, but she is a happy and loved child, once and forever.

Euthanasia has always been a controversial topic. If one day, I am ill beyond cure, please bury me in that spring... Life is as splendid as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves. Death is not terrible, but living meaninglessly is terrible. In "If You Are the One 2", Sun Honglei's farewell ceremony for her body was absurd. But you have to be moved by your presence or absence, the love is there, no more or less. He buried himself in the sea, and drew a clean, non-trivial procrastination for his own life. This is the way I want to. Life has its own laws. It comes when it comes, and it goes when it goes. Death is everyone's final destination, it's just different sooner or later.

At the end of the film, the off-screen words that touched me was the difference between the living conditions of the United States and the Chinese people. There are leukemia patients in Chinese families, and the most serious problem they face is medical expenses. In the film, the mother resigned at home, the father was a firefighter, and the aunt who helped only worked part-time, and the medical expenses were not considered by them, which did not cause any trouble. I think the United States should have a very good medical security system. There is a child with leukemia, plus another pair of children, their lives are still rich, with garden houses, cars, and better life experience. I'm not a materialist, but you understand Maslow's theory of needs, and understand that the pursuit of a better spiritual life must address basic survival needs, right?

Of course, there are evil nurses in the film, but there are more human judges, lawyers, and doctors. They are more human than Chinese judges, lawyers, and doctors, full of love, compassion, and tolerance. . . This difference is not caused by the nature of the Chinese people. This evil soil breeds evil culture and environment. . .

My Sister's Keeper quotes

  • [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.

  • Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body.

    Campbell Alexander: Would you repeat that, please?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I want to sue my parents for the right to my own body. My sister has leukemia. They're trying to force me to give her my body parts.

    Campbell Alexander: You're supposed to give her a kidney?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: She's been in renal failure for months now.

    Campbell Alexander: Well, no one can force you to donate if you don't want to, can they?

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: They think they can. I'm under 18, they're my legal guardians.

    Campbell Alexander: They can't do that.

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Well, I want you to tell them, because they've been doing it to me my whole life. I wouldn't even be alive if Kate wasn't sick. I'm a designer baby. I was made in a dish to be spare parts for Kate.
