Movies - My Sister's Keeper

I loved the book (it actually made me cry, not alot of books do), so i am looking forward to seeing the movie

IMDB - My Sister's Keeper (2009)

A Short Synopsis
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable… a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life… even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less?

Showed some scenes, behind the scenes footage and interviews with the main girls and Alex Baldwin

I was a complete and total mess reading this book.....I don't know if I can brave going out into public and watching this movie. Same reason I avoided Marley and Me also.....

I am still debating whether or not to go to the theaters to see this movie. I read the book and I adored it. I cried so much. I have a strong feeling when I see the movie I will do the same.

Lennie1984 · 04-30-2009, 07:35 AM

^ I will do the same as well

Seriously i cried at the end

But i heard they might have changed the ending, so i dont really know how its going to be

I love the fact that its Abigail Breslin as Anna - she's great

Thanks for mentioning this thread in the book thread, Lennie

I probably never would have known it was here otherwise

hottlegs6 · 04-30-2009, 04:24 PM

i have never read this book...actually i hadnt ever even heard of it.

but i saw the trailer the other day, and even that almost made me cry! looks like it will be a phenomenal movie. perhaps i will have to get the book and read it before the movie comes out

funky_chick · 04-30-2009, 04:55 PM

^ It's a great book

Such a great book.

Totally cried.

And the movie trailer already gets me weepy, so I know I'm going to be a mess.

Can't wait to see it!

Lari · 05-03-2009, 10:52 AM

I still haven't read the book but I plan on doing so. The trailer was just heartbreaking. It made me cry

so sad when "Life is Beautiful" starts playing. Can't wait to see it.

I just watched the trailer... I don't know if I can watch this movie! I was getting teary eyed just watching those two minutes of it!
