"Sister's Guardian" 丨2009
My Sister's Keeper
Directed by: Nick Casaveti
Starring: Cameron Diaz / Abigail Breslin / Sophia Wisigneva / Alec Baldwin / Joan Cusack / Thomas Decker
The story begins with Anna's sister Kate being diagnosed with leukemia at the age of five.
But her parents, brother and her leukocyte antigen do not match, so the family chose to use cord blood for Kate's survival, that is, to use IVF to conceive a new life.
So Anna was born. Since she was born, she has been undergoing frequent transplants, such as white blood cells, bone marrow, lymphocytes, etc., and Anna must be pushed onto the operating table as long as her sister needs it.
At just 11 years old, she underwent 8 surgeries.
Because of her sister's illness, the mother not only quit her job as a lawyer, but also gave all her love to this daughter, ignoring that her son had dyslexia and never asked Anna if she wanted to.
Anna herself always thought that if she hadn't been sick with her sister, she wouldn't have come into this world.
For her sister, Anna is also full of pity and love, about the mission of saving her sister, she accepted it calmly, and her parents also thought that Anna did this as a matter of course.
However, Kate still did not get better, and due to kidney failure, Anna needed to donate a kidney.
But this time, Anna directly chose to refuse, and also chose to sell the necklace and hire a lawyer to sue her mother.
Anna's actions completely angered her mother and gave Anna a slap.
In the evening, the whole family held a family meeting, anna frankly talked about her worries, if there is only one kidney, she will not live a very hard life, and she is also a child of her parents, which is also very important.
The father began to reflect on himself and talk to his mother, but the mother was unmoved, and also found a lawyer who defended Anna, claiming that he, as Anna's guardian, had the right to do so.
Seeing the lawyer's questioning of herself, her mother chose to accept the lawsuit in anger.
Kate gets worse, and the hospital advises the mother to take the child home and spend the last of her life happily.
But mother couldn't listen, and she was confident that Kate would be fine.
Knowing that her life is short, Kate asks her father to take her to the beach, and his father knows that this is Kate's last wish and decides to take the whole family to the beach.
Such a decision was strongly opposed by her mother, who hysterically even threatened to divorce.
The father directly ignored the mother's big noise, or took the children away, and the mother also drove to join them after thinking it through and spent this good time together.
After returning from the beach, it was time for the court. Almost everyone present claimed that it was Anna's presence that perpetuated Kate's life. Everyone wants Anna to donate a kidney to save her sister.
The mother even asked Anna in court why she did this, because in her mother's heart, she knew that her daughter would not be so selfish, and she would not complain so much about saving her sister's life.
Anna also just explained it with the phrase "I want to have control over my body."
After the climax of the story came, the son could not see the scene of the mother-daughter confrontation, and had no choice but to tell the truth.
It turns out that anna did everything at Kate's behest, because Kate didn't want to endure the pain of illness anymore, and she didn't want her sister to have an incomplete body.
She was tired of fighting the disease all day and didn't want her whole family to fall apart for herself, so she asked her sister to help her.
Faced with this amazing reversal, the mother seemed to have suffered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she did not believe everything Anna said.
Anna also tells her that she loves her sister as much as she loves her own life, but Kate advises her sister to do so, because she is also her parents' baby. If you want her, you can go to Monta to see her, where she will be waiting for Anna.
After the trial, the mother and everyone else went to the hospital to visit their sister.
The sister left her mother alone and left the precious photo album she made to her mother.
The album is the happy memories of the family and the bits and pieces of their own growth, and the mother's love for herself is photocopied in this time album full of memories, and the mother, who has always been strong, finally can't control herself, leaving sad tears.
Kate wrapped her arms around her mother and left the world with a smile.
Since Kate's death, the family has returned to its former peace and happiness.
The mother returned to work and reopened the law firm; the father retired early to devote himself to the work of a juvenile consultant for urban problems; and the younger sister and brother continued to go to school and become ordinary children.
But every year on my sister's birthday, the family would come to the same place for a vacation and feel her presence, as if she had never left.
I believe that many people will watch this movie and Pi ge can't help but cry.
Before the reversal happened, many people would accuse Anna of being selfish, but have you ever thought that this kind of thing should be decided by Anna herself, and no one can morally kidnap a person in the name of love and demand "selfless dedication".
If he chooses to lend a helping hand, it is a sentiment, such a choice is worthy of respect, if not, it is also a duty, and we have no right to blame others.
In the whole social relationship, each of us is an independent individual, and then there are other various social identities.
In this film, the mother's obsession almost ruined Anna's happy life, so the most important meaning of the film is also to call on everyone to respect the wishes and choices of each individual.
Of course, in addition to this, the title of the movie is "The Guardian of the Sister", which also aims to show that the whole family is the guardian of the sister, and the love and bondage between them makes us moved, and the cruelty of the disease can never resist the warmth in the depths of everyone's heart, so as to burst out the glory of love in the suffering.
This love, this memory also eventually accompanied them forever, becoming the warmest light guarding their hearts.
