Film Review: My Sister's Keeper is about choice and love.

I was designed and born for special reasons.

( 1)

The kidney problem was mentioned in the Indian suspense movie Andhadhun that I introduced a few days ago. A fictional story about buying and selling human organs there is scary.

However, the movie "My Sister's Guardian" that I want to talk about today seems to be a movie about family ties, and it also involves kidneys.

The heroine Anna is only 1 1 years old, but her mother forced her to donate her kidney to her fifteen-year-old sister Kate.

Anna disagreed and sued her parents for violating her personal freedom.

Every child is a family pistachio and an angel. So why are Anna's parents so cruel?

"Have a cup of coffee? It's a long story. "

The film begins with the confession of little girl Anna. At that time, she was sitting on the shore, surrounded by the slowly flowing river. Anna described her mission to the world in an extremely mature tone.

She is a test-tube baby. Her life was designed and born for special reasons.

She has a sister, a sister with leukemia. As we all know, leukemia is an autoimmune disease.

For patients with white blood, umbilical cord blood is priceless.

It can be said that Anna is a tool-type person. She was born to be her sister's "pharmacy", or she was born to save her sister.

Her task is to protect her sister.

For more than ten years, in order to treat her sister, she had eight operations under the arrangement of her parents. Only she knows the pain and injustice she has experienced.

She did everything for her sister.

However, when her mother asked her to donate her kidney for her sister, Anna, who grew up gradually, suddenly realized that she had the right to her own physical freedom and that she was also a person.

Perhaps "the greatest discovery in life is to find yourself".

So, in the third minute of the movie, Anna went into the pawnshop and sold her necklace.

At the seventh minute, Anna walked into the lawyer's office. She took out the necklace for $700 as a lawyer's fee and sued her parents for "limited termination of parental rights".

In the sixth minute of the film's opening, Anna's family is explained with a warm detail. Anna's mother and brother Jessie are playing trampoline. Anna, her father and sister Kate are sitting together, smiling and drinking. At the same time, colorful soap bubbles keep popping up in the picture.

It looks like a happy and sweet family of five. However, the floating soap bubbles and dad's confession tell us that this family is broken and happiness is short-lived.

Story time, in fact, focuses on my sister Kate before and after severe kidney transplantation. The director told the audience about her sister's medical history by flashback, and told the audience that Sarah quit her job to take care of her daughter full-time because her child was ill.

Sarah has only one purpose, and that is to keep her daughter alive.

Unlike many movies I have seen before, the characters in this movie have the most confessions. Confessions will appear when actions can't reveal the psychological activities of characters.

With the development of the plot, either my sister Anna, my father Brian, my brother Jesse or my sister Kate.

Of course, these confessions are all to reveal the inner world of the characters. Throughout the film, the inner struggles and entanglements of the characters are vividly displayed.

Soap bubble happiness, how can it last!

At the twelfth minute, my sister Kate got sick, vomited, and her mouth was full of blood. She looks scary.

The doctor told his parents that a kidney transplant was urgently needed. Otherwise, Kate will die soon.

Then, mother Sarah received a court summons. When I learned that my little daughter had sued her. She was very angry, had an argument with Anna on the spot, gave Anna a slap in the face without mercy, and the family atmosphere suddenly became tense.

It was also here that Anna shouted for the first time: I am also very important.

At this point, I need to talk about my mother Sarah's personality characteristics. She is stubborn and extremely paranoid. Before giving birth to a child, she was a lawyer. It is said that she was highly educated and knew a little about psychology.

However, since Kate was born, in order to take care of her sick children, she resigned and became a housewife.

As parents, be fair, a bowl of water is flat, and love should be evenly distributed among the three children.

However, all her attention and passion or love are focused on Kate. The growth of the other two children, brother Jesse and sister Anna, is almost ignored.

There is a detail in the movie. My brother Jesse missed the school bus after school one night and had to walk home. When I got home, it was very late. Jesse is worried and afraid of being scolded.

And no one found out. Nobody cares. Is he tired? Have you eaten? Is he happy?

Anna, as a tool, has never been hugged and cared for by her mother from the beginning to the end of the film.

Anna was in hospital when Kate was in hospital. Mother Sarah only sees Kate's pain and always ignores Anna's efforts. Looks like Anna should be like this.

There is a detail in the film that is particularly worrying. Five-year-old Anna was put on the bed by the nurse and wanted to have an operation. Anna shouted. Mom, Sarah just stood outside the operating room and looked on coldly. It seems that this child belongs to someone else's family and has nothing to do with her.

Family is a system. When family members are not treated fairly, naturally there will be problems in this system, and it is a big problem.

Three children, Kate and a blood tumor. Jesse is dyslexic. Anna took her parents to court.

In such a family environment, like a room without lights, everyone seems to have a hard time.

Of course, the highlight of the film is that the mother and daughter are in court. The quarrel at the scene was very fierce.

Mother Sarah directly questioned Anna: Why didn't you save your sister?

The lawyer asked Sarah, Who will protect Anna?

In the eighty-third minute, during the most heated debate, my brother Jesse bravely stood up and told the truth: Kate wanted to die.

It turned out that Anna went to court with the support of her sister Kate. Kate told Anna, "My life is full of pain and I want to die." .

Facing an extremely paranoid and powerful mother, this is the only way for the two sisters to resist.

For fifteen years, Sarah, her mother, gave up everything and made all the efforts for Kate. Kate is her greatest hope and the value of her life. In fact, she knows it in her heart, but she just won't let go.

The night before Kate's death, her mother Sarah curled up in Kate's hospital bed to accompany her daughter on her last trip.

The 97th minute was a heavy funeral.

Soft-hearted viewers need to prepare paper towels.

The reason why this film attracts people's attention is not only the interlocking plot, but also the strong sense of substitution. And the story is full of emotion and strong tension.

In particular, it takes courage to fight and resist this kind of affection. Because, after the fight, I called. You must sit at the table and eat. We must live together.

The drama Thunderstorm has become a classic because of its strong emotional tension. Two families, thirty years of feud broke out. Family secrets were uncovered, destroying two families like a hurricane. The eldest son shot himself. The daughter Sifeng was electrocuted, and the younger son Zhou Chong was electrocuted to save Sifeng. Stepmother is crazy. Such a tragedy hits people directly.

And the tragedy of Oedipus. Remember, who said that Greek tragedy is the concentrated expression of all human suffering? Oedipus is a tragedy of fate, that is, there is nowhere to escape.

Because there is an Oracle that he will "kill his father and marry his mother" when he grows up.

He was abandoned at an early age. Can be seen by a shepherd and given to another shepherd in another country. The shepherd gave the child to the king. The king happened to have no children, so he adopted them happily.

When he grew up, Oedipus got scared after learning the Oracle and left the country.

He came to a strange country. I met an arrogant man on the road, and he killed that man (he didn't know that he killed his father).

He guessed the riddle of the Sphinx again. Just when the king was killed, he was welcomed into the country and became king.

This country has a habit. The new king wants to marry the wife of the former king.

Somehow, he married his mother again.

Later, the truth came out.

The remorseful Oedipus stabbed himself in the eye.

His mother hanged herself.

Laurie told these two stories because such tragedies happened between relatives. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

So is this movie. In order to save one child, another child must be sacrificed. The palm of your hand is covered with meat, which makes people feel embarrassed.

Although, I think this Sarah mother is eccentric and stubborn. However, please put yourself in others' shoes. If you were in that position, what would you choose?

Isn't the mother in the movie Tangshan Earthquake also facing a difficult choice? Do you choose to save your brother or your sister? If, you only have one chance?

I digress, and my thoughts are pulled back.

The director of this film is Nick Kasowitz, a famous American director and screenwriter. In the movie, he changed the ending of the characters. However, in the original, it is different.

Kate left at the end of the film. Mom, Sarah is back at work. My brother Jesse was admitted to an art school. Dad retired and worked in social assistance. Anna grew up happily.

Family life, restore peace.

However, at the end of this novel, it is even more tragic. The author arranged for his sister to die in a car accident. Let nature take its course and donate my sister's kidney to my sister Kate. Sister Anna will always be her "guardian".

Which ending do you like?

This film is based on a novel by American writer Judy Picot.

Because it involves kidney donation, affection, friendship, love and the publication of books, it has caused great controversy and is also very popular.

It was later adapted into a film and released in the United States on June 26, 2009. It's actually an old movie. It's just that the plot is too sensitive and bizarre, so far it's still a good movie.

The film echoes back and forth, and at the end, my sister Anna sits by the river again. Smile, affectionate confession, and the ending song flows slowly like a river ...
