Last night I went and say My Sister's Keeper with Hilary and Hanna.... It was an amazing show!! I heard mixed reviews about it, but I went into the movie knowing it was going to be sad and I am so glad I went!! Nothing about cancer is happy.... I think it would be hard to portray, in a movie, just how much emotion goes into something like this.... I thought it was really neat how Kate just needed to hear from her family, mostly her sister Anna, that she was released.... Released from her pain here on Earth, and finally free to return home.... How often we find ourselves trying to do our will, to get the outcome we want in our lives, without really looking at what might be the best thing.... I would see this movie again and again and again.... It was amazing!!
Director Nick Cassavetes collaborates with screenwriter Jeremy Leven (The Notebook) for this drama about a pair of parents who resort to unorthodox methods in order to save their young daughter's life, only to find their decision coming back to haunt them in a manner neither could have ever foreseen. Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric) were coasting through life with their young son and daughter when tragedy threatened to tear the family apart. Suddenly, their baby girl falls ill, and her only hope for survival rests in her parents' ability to find a compatible bone marrow donor. Desperate to save their daughter's life at any cost, Sara and Brian conceive another child in hopes that the baby will be a genetic match. But that decision raises a series of moral and ethical questions that rapidly begin to erode the foundation of the once-happy couple's relationship. Incensed upon learning that she was brought into this world for the singular purpose of prolonging the life of her ailing older sister, the young girl (Abigail Breslin) ultimately decides to sue her parents for emancipation.
