My Sisters Keeper

So yesterday was an off day for me. Was down with a fever, so my wife and i decided to stay in and watch movies all day long. and this particular movie was on the tv 

and it got me and my wife glued to our sofa. It is an adaptation from Jodi Picoult novel of the same name. 

"In Los Angeles, the eleven year old Anna Fitzgerald seeks the successful lawyer Campbell Alexander trying to hire him to earn medical emancipation from her mother Sara that wants Anna to donate her kidney to her sister. She tells the lawyer the story of her family after the discovery that her older sister Kate has had leukemia; how she was conceived by in vitro fertilization to become a donor; and the medical procedures she has been submitted since she was five years old to donate to her sister. Campbell accepts to work pro bono and the obsessed Sara decides to go to court to force Anna to help her sister" 

A very strong movie plot, from the perspective of a cancer patient, Anna and the people affected, her family. 

A perfect example of a motherly love. Sara is willling to do just about anything to keep her precious daughter alive, even to the point of getting pregnant again in order for them to have a perfect donor to her daughter.

And to the point that when her daughter said that she is not beautiful because chemo make her hairs fall, Sara shaved her own head.

But. where do we draw the limit? Kate herself dont want to see her family falls apart just because of her sickness. and that she just wants to stop fighting and made an arrangement with her little sister to bring an action against her own mother for a medical emancipation. 

A must watch. and a must read. =)
