Fiction is still a novel

The movie is very good. There are no tears in the whole process, but I watched it with tears in my eyes.
The reason for watching this film is that I read the book before, and I didn't read half of it, so I came to watch the film out of curiosity about the ending. Again, as with other films based on novels, a lot of plot is left out. However, it is also understandable that a film of less than two hours should not be as comprehensive as a novel for the sake of completeness. Although it doesn't recreate the original, the movie is still pretty good.
The novel ends when I only see Anna trying to regain control of her body. So when the movie was put here, I had the urge to fast-forward, and I was very curious about such a new social issue that did not attract much public attention (artificial insemination of a child purely to save the leukemia child at home, Is this fair to the kid) What kind of ending will the writer give him. This phenomenon must be more and more in this society with more developed technology. One child is born to save another child. After they are born, they are sent to the operating table again and again, and those who can save their siblings are selected. s things. As a parent, having a child like this is also a helpless move. But their behavior is unfair to the second child, even inhumane. As that child, he would never want to extract his good body, but in front of him was his sister (brother), if he didn't extract his own to save them, they would be dead. Such a very contradictory question, I really want to see what kind of answer the author will give, but unfortunately, a literary work is a literary work after all, and the answer given by the author in the movie is: he passed the problem on to The patient himself, this series of farces all came from the patient himself, he wanted to die, he didn't want to suffer so much, he knew he couldn't be cured, but his stubborn mother who loved him deeply didn't want him to give up, so she Can only instruct his sister to do such a play.
In the end Kate left. The author did not give an answer either. But his ingenious transformation also gives the novel an astonishing turn of events, worthy of Jodi Picoult, which makes the whole novel read more dramatic.
However, the issues in the book are still worth pondering.

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.
