pain and happiness

Anthony said in his diary that he couldn't hold back the tears while watching the film on the plane. When the flight attendant asked him if he wanted a drink, he looked out the window and didn't dare to look back.

I saw thirty-five minutes, twenty minutes, with choked sobbing and wet eyes, but in the end the tears didn't fall.


At the beginning of the film, I was struck by Anna's sunshine. She is attracted by her intelligence.

She is a genetically special girl bred by her parents in order to save the life of Kate, a leukemia patient. She is
smart, cheerful, kind and healthy
. We all support her in fighting for her medical autonomy

. Kate blows bubbles in the sun and the family laughs. In the background of happiness and joy, Dad's voice-over is "Life may collapse at any time".

Happiness is like a beautiful soap bubble in the sun.

The role of a mother who is easy to burst is the most tangled, because she loves her daughter too much and cannot accept burying her with her own hands. Hysterically trying to save her, she gave up her love and work.

A lot of flashbacks also made me meet Kate, a girl who is also lovely and individual.
Although cancer made her suffer, she made fun of her fate in her own way.
During her illness, she met Tyler, a handsome boy who was also a leukemia patient, and started a romance with him. Passionate love.

They are optimistic about the sickness , cherish

each other, the first kiss with the smell of medicine, the first

night of the hospital dance

, Kate is really beautiful

, but on the second day of the dance , the

most beautiful bubble in Kate's heart shattered with Taylor's departure

. It was her mother who decisively shaved her hair to accompany her to lose her long blond hair due to chemotherapy.

She did not want her mother to be disappointed and discouraged.
In order not to make her sad, she insisted on cooperating and begging her sister to help her free.

She's fed up with all kinds of treatments in the hospital She's fed up with her family because she can't live a normal life

She's been through a good love She wants to follow Tyler and leave

the beach, the family is happy together, the waves are so beautiful
I've been smiling all the time Sentimentally

came out of the court, the family ate pizza in front of Kate's hospital bed and discussed all kinds of miracles, the
atmosphere was happy and sad,
Kate still said that she would insist. In fact, she already had her own choice in her heart, but she wanted to let Mum accepts from her heart
the carefully crafted photo book she gave to Mum. It carries the happy memories of her 15 years with loved ones. In the
end, mother and daughter hugged in the hospital bed. Mum still accepted Kate's decision sobbing

. Just stopped breathing

and went to a place called Monashee.

Everyone's life went on.
Then everything at home went back on track

. Kate's departure made the happiness of the living family strong.


Anna loved her sister. Putting a thick needle into the bone would also be afraid that

she would sue her parents for keeping a secret is another way to help her sister
She alone recalled her sister's hysterical desire to say goodbye to her mother and the pain in the hospital

She recalled the warmth and joy of being with her sister For a short time

she said she would love to do it


She also doubted that she came into the world to save her sister

But in the end she understood that the most important thing was that she once had a sister and she was such a good sister

She did a good job protecting her sister Anna She is brave

and the last thing left in the memory is happiness
Because I have experienced such separation, I cherish life, cherish life, and cherish the time I spend with my family. The


family continues

. I think that I have always been the guardian of my family.
One day, I can also protect the people I love in a way that can make them happy.

  • [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.
