If the person you love has an incurable disease, will you choose to let him leave, or do you desperately want him to live one more day? "Sister's Guardian" is such a story that is caught in a dilemma for "love". The film is based on Judy Piccott (Jodi Picoult's best-selling novel adaptation of the same name. In order to allow her daughter Kate, who had a rare leukemia, to live, her mother quit her job as a lawyer, gave up everything, focused all her life on her daughter, and even gave birth to her young daughter Anna in order to save Kate. On the surface of a harmonious family, there is an explosion behind it: the mother who is committed to saving her daughter, unconsciously ignores the feelings of other family members, especially the younger daughter who is genetically compatible with her sister. As soon as her sister became ill, Anna had to follow her in and out of the hospital to provide Kate with the medical help she needed. No one has ever asked Anna if she wants to? Are you afraid? As if she was born for Kate, only Kate is important, she is not important at all. So Anna, who was only 11 years old, decided to defend her right to use her body. She loved her sister, but she didn't want to be at the mercy of her mother anymore. The mother and daughter went to court, each sticking to their positions and starting a love struggle. [Mother's love: I love you, you must live] I knew from the beginning that this was a tug-of-war with no chance of winning. Even if the strong mother never gave up any hope, the whole movie is still filled with deep sentiment: under the sun, The crystal clear bubbles reflected the happy jumping figure of the whole family, and the brilliant smile seemed to have never cast shadows. However, the fleeting bubble seems to mean that happy time is only a moment, everything will eventually become a phantom, just like life comes and goes, there is never any reason. However, people’s vitality also comes from this, hoping to extend the life of the beloved, hoping to fight the threat of death with thicker memories, so desperately ran forward. The mother in the movie is living with the belief that her daughter must live. She turns grief into strength: she gave birth to a young daughter to save her elder daughter, and no matter how painful the treatment is, she also accompanies her daughter, when Kate loses her hair due to chemotherapy. When she had an emotional reaction, she shaved her hair without saying a word. That scene gave me a great shock, as if she was telling Kate: "Mom is with you, don't be afraid." "It showed a mother's super willpower for love, the belief that the whole world would accompany you even at the expense of me, quietly pierced Kate's inner fear. Love is a kind of power, but sometimes too strong love becomes a burden. Over-persistence and carelessness turn into arrogant paranoia. In order to keep Kate alive, the mother ignored the feelings of other people: she ignored the dyslexia during her son’s growth, and she also ignored the fear of her younger daughter donating organs to her sister, and “feeling less important” became the heart of other children. Shadows. She even ignored Kate’s wishes and got used to running forward all the way. Coupled with the lawyer character that must win, she didn’t allow her to give up halfway and die. God has gaps to drill. However, behind the single-minded desire to win, there is the fear that once you lose, you will have nowhere to go. The scene in which my father and her take Kate to the beach at the expense of divorce shows that no matter how tightly they are, they must be loosened in time and free to love. Although it is difficult for people to conquer the sky, at least love and anticipation can alleviate the pain of life, and no longer stare at people urgently, in order to share a rare and beautiful time. [Brother and sister's love: I love you, you can leave if you want] The brotherhood in the movie is also very moving! Because of Kate, the healthy brother and sister cannot grow up as carefree as ordinary children, and they have to face the miserable condition of Kate's illness from time to time. However, the love of the brothers and sisters for Kate has not diminished: the brother who is clumsy at words, tried to draw Kate's appearance, as if telling Kate that you will always be in my heart; the sister who was forced to grow up donated organs to her sister since she was a child Sister, endure the pain, she still takes care of her sister and stays with her meticulously. The brothers and sisters hope to make Kate better, as long as they can do for her, they are willing. In the end, the picture of the brothers and sisters hugging Kate in front of the hospital bed has always been in my mind. They are cuddling in Kate's arms like coquetry. At this time, the smiling Kate seems to have become a caregiver, softly comforting Her brother and sister. Love, sometimes you don’t really need to say too much, turning a thousand words into a warm hug, and the true temperature will remember the traces of love for them. [Sister’s Love: Guarding the Beloved forever] Although the movie is titled "Sister’s Guardian", watching all the way down, I feel that the sick sister has always been the guardian of the family. She is the source of family conflicts and the core of family strength. A fifteen-year-old girl has been suffering from illnesses since she was a child. It is just in the Mood for Love, but she can't live a splendid life like ordinary girls. She loves her family deeply, but often loses control of emotions due to physical pain, until she meets Taylor, the boy who is sick with her. The optimistic Taylor had a very positive impact on Kate. Since then, she no longer complains about herself and no longer fears the death of her life. She starts to care more about the people around her: she loves the brother and sister who was taken away by her parents, and loves the mother who gave up everything for her. , But also distressed the father who worked hard to maintain family balance. The book that records Kate's happy life with photos and words is full of love and reminds her not to be afraid. Taylor said to her: "I can only know you because of cancer, so I am very happy that I have cancer. Kate smiled and shed tears, and I shed tears too. Who can say that such a love is not complete? They strive to burn in their fleeting lives without wasting every moment of love. Relative to good health We always think that there is still time to spend, we always think that love is waiting for us, but we forgot to cherish the moment of love. At this moment, I hope I can be like Kate, don’t know if there is tomorrow? Have the ultimate love, live to your heart's content, and don't wait any longer. Finally, Kate gave her beloved book to her mother, just like giving her life's love to her mother. She wants her to know, no matter where she is? Her love will never disappear. Because she believed in love, she was braver than ever. She stretched out her hand to hug her mother and hugged the mother who had originally protected her in her arms. The mother who had always been strong actually wailed in Kate's arms. At this moment, Kate became a mother, and her mother became Daughter, she gently patted her mother, as if saying: "Don't be afraid, mother, I will always be with you! This time, Kate will protect the happiness of her mother and family. When they no longer fear separation, memories will become the most beautiful mark, allowing them to let go of their pain and embrace love again. [Quiet gaze: congeal for eternity in an instant] There are a few images that impress me in the movie: in a few cheerful and lively atmospheres, the camera will always be pushed to the other person watching, and the eyes smiling and watching are as if Witness the eternity of the moment with heart. I think of a Buddhist saying: "Condenses eternity in an instant," which probably means this. Kate vomited due to the discomfort of chemotherapy, Taylor cared for her and resolved her pain in a relaxed manner. The two were happily and happily, not like a terminal cancer patient at all. The mother, who was sitting on the side reading a book, raised her head and looked at the two, with a rare smile on her face, as if she could relieve her burden for the time being. Kate dressed up for the first time in order to participate in the dance party with Taylor. Everyone happily took pictures of her, but the camera turned to the quiet father behind him, as if looking at the daughter to be married. There was a trace of relief in his eyes and a touch of sentimentality. Maybe he wanted to. Always remember the most beautiful appearance of her daughter. That night, all the relatives gathered in Kate’s ward, and the joyous atmosphere almost lifted the roof. Kate hugged everyone one by one and talked about homework. Kate’s smile was brighter than usual! The sight of being too happy makes people feel like they are in a dream, watching the three brothers and sisters hugging each other tightly, the eyes of the parents have a light that is worth everything. By gazing quietly and returning to the depths of love, pain is no longer the only memory. There is no reason for life to come and go, and it suddenly comes and suddenly disappears. And time still goes on, the only difference is that those who left leave a deep memory, so that those who are alive will never forget, the short light of the encounter is enough to illuminate a long life, I think this is the ultimate of life significance. In this world, only family love will not disappear. Even if there have been countless quarrels, it will eventually pass. In this world, there are only family members who don’t need the vow of “never separation”, and they care about it so that they will never forget it. Every year, Kate is with her family. They go to Kate's favorite place and stare at Kate's favorite scenery. In the cold wind, the hot coffee in her hand is like Kate's temperature. No matter how many years have passed, there will always be the warmest corner in my heart. , Guarding her beloved family until the end.
