A family relationship full of tragedies and contradictions, but at the same time permeated with the deep love among family members. Who is more important, which is more important, whether the sacrifice is worth it, should desperate efforts be worth it, etc. When all the contradictions are so abruptly but harmoniously combined, it can cause countless thoughts in itself.
This kind of story is my favorite all the time. I believe that everyone must love each other and need each other. However, love and needs alone are often not the whole life, because there are too many trivial details in life. Therefore, this story can be more intriguing.
The mother's strong position persisted regardless, even, paranoid to the point that only her sister existed in her eyes; the elder sister suffered but stubbornly lived and worked hard - for the family's expectations, but more because the mother was tyrannical the mother’s love; the younger sister endured years of major surgery and the harassment of being a physical container for the elder sister to survive, and still loves this family deeply; the younger brother has become the most easily overlooked member of this strange family On the surface, he is neither needed nor needed by others, but in fact he is also troubled by dyslexia. There is also the father, the father who has become an independent family breadwinner because of his sister's illness and has always been his wife's strongest backing. When the focus of his wife's life has completely shifted to the seriously ill eldest daughter, his mood as a husband , I don't know how to mix flavors?
Unfortunately, in the movie, these psychological conflicts that can be explored more deeply are only touched, so they are only on the surface of tenderness, but they cannot bring deeper sighs and emotions.
But still a good movie. Perhaps the portrayal of the younger sister and younger brother is left on the surface, and perhaps the ending is still quite bright - the reason why the younger sister sued the mother is only to satisfy the elder sister's hope that she no longer wants to live in the world, and there is no confusion and struggle of her own as a human being. This kind of treatment may be a lot simpler, but it also avoids some of the embarrassment of human nature itself, and positions the tone of the film in a warmer and more amiable position.
If the most commendable part of this movie is the love affair of my sister. Under such circumstances and conditions, under the common persistence and curiosity about life, the relationship with the male patient was short-lived but exceptionally brilliant. So it finally came to the end of the movie - my sister was finally born without love, and the family reached the maximum understanding of her decision.
A very harmonious and rational ending, but not shocking. So, I think, I will still choose to watch the original.
