Purely Joyful Movie!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
No where near as good as the book, the film misses most of the key points and changes far too much of the story!
The movie is great and the actors were able not only to tell the story,but to make you feel the story. I would highly recommend you to watch this movie,because it makes you realize that you can find all the happiness in the world in the little things.
While the movie does take a few aspects from the book it fails at being a true adaptation. From leaving out critical storylines to the horrible ending, it's hard to stomach how they butchered this story. The poetic ending of the book is gone. You are left with sappy Hollywood mush.
I remember feeling in a similar way when I finished watching A Walk to Remember. The whole picture of death leaves us in tears and with the question of why did she have to die? Can people find any meaning to death? is it the end of existence? Anna ends saying that she hopes she will meet her sister again, is their another paradigm of existence after death? Is their anything wrong with the stand the mom took for her daughters protection? Do you feel that Kate should have fought more? What is the whole purpose of living? We are going to die someday. Is the quality of life measured by how long we live? Movies like this and Slumdog Millionaire makes me wonder if we end up with an emotional high and just forget about the fact that these things really happen. Does a portion of the profit gained by this movie go to treat cancer patients? The movie is based on a book by Jodi Picoult which ends differently..When Anna gets her emancipation she dies in a car crash and kidneys are anyway given away to Kate. I'm wondering why the story line was changed and Kate had to die. What if Anna didn't die of a car crash but died in the Kidney transplant operation. Maybe its too much of a tale to believe that she sacrificed her self for her sister. Sacrifice seems as something very unusual and makes us wonder why? Maybe because we don't how to respond to such love. What if someone underwent a punishment that we were supposed to go through or someone was wrongly accused and killed when I was the real culprit. How do we respond?
