Baffling

In fact, the quality of the movie is okay, but I think the plot makes me very unbearable.
First of all, the film is about human rights issues. In fact, it doesn't matter if you talk about human rights issues, but when you talk about it, you talk about family relationships. It's ok, let's see. The first 40 minutes were fine, thinking that Anna's lawsuit was about ethics. As a result, the blood at the end was like a Korean drama. It's actually a lawsuit to die. There's no need to be so complicated. Okay, so the plot is over, but the ethical issue has been raised, so we can't help but solve it, right? It's really gone. The ending also seems to be quite warm, so I will go. Audiences are smart too.
Some people say that the ending in the original book is better than the one in the movie, but I watched it and found it disgusting. A car accident or something is a bit bloody + vulgar, so I don't care. What's more is that Anna has to be extubated before she dies. Although the probability of waking up is small, it is also considered murder. The United States doesn't talk about how much it attaches importance to the rights of young people all day long, why doesn't it even care about this? Also, no one could have foreseen that Anna would be in a car accident. So in this way, the original chance of Kate surviving was very small. And not all vegetative people are dead. If her mother treats Anna like Kate and is willing to give everything, Anna may wake up. The survival rate is also very small. Why was Sara willing to pay for Kate at the beginning, but now she is not willing to pay for Anna? Or assuming that Anna also suffers from the same disease as Kate, then sara must have left her to fend for herself (but it is not self-inflicted). There was no way she could have anna undergo the same treatment as kate. To put it bluntly, anna is useless to sara and Kate. Anna is a donor. She is useless and useless, and her devotees will not care about her. She is a naked human organ donation bank, born for her recipients. She is not a human being, at best she is a creation. But the question is, is there any difference between her and kate or anyone else? Since it is the same, why does she have to give everything for her? In the movie, anna seems to be voluntary, but she was passive when she was created. It also seemed too kind, but it was downright tragic.
In fact, we will all die, but it is a matter of dying sooner or later. Life itself is very confusing, death is inevitable, and you have to create another life, thinking that a person's birth is voluntary? Pretending to be sublime... unbearable. I thought it was great when I watched the opening, but the result...
At the beginning, I thought it was similar to "never let me go", but it turned out that the level was still a lot worse. I don't know why this movie is rated so much higher than that one. Maybe there's something wrong with my worldview, but that movie really struck me. Many people say that this film is very touching, and I also admit that I was touched in some places. It was the part where anna and the lawyer talked about the reason for the appeal at the beginning, but it turned out to be a disappointment...

    Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [shouts] You promised!

  • [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.
