Revision of 'My Sister's Keeper'

I am not a type of person who likes to cry. That is why I do not prefer the movies which contains too much sensuality. However, in the summer of 2009, I went to the cinema to watch the movie, My Sister's Keeper, with the insistence of my cousin. I refused firstly, but she convinced my in the end. I am so glad that she did. The movie was such an impressive one that I admired it. I loved the movie so much that I have watched it again recently. In the movie, there is a girl who is leukemia patient, Kate. Her mother, Sara, devotes her life to save Kate. She gives up everything; her job, her marriage, her husband, and her own life. While she is taking care of Kate, she unintentionally ignores his son, Jesse. Jesse is a dyslexic boy. He cannot read at all. However, his parent have no time to pay attention to him. That is why they send him to a boarding school that takes care of dyslexic children. He does not want to go and cries a lot. He gives his word to study more and be successful in the school just not to be sent. Sara and her husband, Brian, thinks of every possibility to keep Kate alive. Neither Sara's nor Brian's DNA doesn't match with Kate's. Then, their doctor makes a suggestion which is actually not legal. He suggests to create a baby, a donor born baby, who matches with Kate in terms of everything. Sara, of course, leaps at the chance to save Kate. Then, they have their third kid, Anna, who gives everything Kate needs. At the age of 11, she thinks that she has a life and she wants to decide to do whatever wants to. She hires a lawyer to sue her parents for the rights to her own body. She does not want to give some parts of her body to Kate anymore, which will certainly kill Kate. That is where the story starts. After she told this to her parents, some bad events occurs in their family relationships. Some of them get mad at Anna while others understand her. While they are quarreling with each other, Kate's situation gets worse. Since Sara dedicates her life to keep Kate alive, she does not aware of how tired her daughter is because of the curing process. Although Kate is tired of fighting against the cancer and wants to give up, her mother cannot see it just because she cannot stand the idea of losing her daughter.

I chose this video because this is the official trailer of the movie. In this video, you can see the things I've just mentioned up there. At first, they are very happy because everything is okay. Everything is just how it should be. However, when Anna demands her body's rights, everything just breaks off. Brian and Sara have an argument  Jesse, the brother of the girls, gets angry to Anna because she is not telling the truth according to him. In addition, you see a boy who is also sick, Taylor. Taylor and Kate have grown close. He does Kate good. They stand by each other in the process of chemotherapy. Kate's illness gets better thanks to Taylor. I  strongly recommend you to watch this movie. You may not be interested in drama movies like me, but even I was affected by it. Thus, just give it a chance and enjoy it. :)
