My Sister's Keeper

We watched this movie this morning. It was nice, though, I was a little disappointed with the ending and the development of some of the characters. I read this book when I was in second year, my sister's friend loaned it to her. Strange how nurses like to read medically related books. Well the book was awesome, as much as a tearjerker as the movie.
The differences are these:

1. Jesse burned buildings to the ground- he does not wallow in self pity all the time. He did drugs and drove a Jeep around. He is not dyslexic.
   
2. Anna is pretty much the same as she was in the book, but get this, she DIED.
3. Kate did not die she lived on because Ana, even though she won in court, still gave her her kidney.

To those who would like to know the original ending you could read it here.
Ana was the one who revealed why she was suing her parents in the first place. Jesse wasn't even there. After all the revealations everything was going good. Ana and her lawyer (Campbell)
left together after the hearing was done. It was raining at the time and a car hit them. Ana's father, a fireman, was at the scene. They rushed both of them to the hospital. Everyone was there. Sara, her mom, was frantic when she saw Ana's body. Campbell was okay but Ana was not, she was far from it. Ana was brain dead. Her father held her mom saying what made Ana, Ana, wasn't there anymore. So in the end Ana did give her kidney to kate, and kate survived the operation. The family wasn't okay afterwards, not because Kate died, but because Ana died. What made it worse was the fact that if kate died it would have been expected, but when Ana died, healthy Ana, it wasn't.

The movie's good even though it wasn't by the book because it's still inspireing. It still speaks of the lessons that are hard to learn but sooner or later learned anyway. Letting go isn't easy but we should think of the people who want us to let go. Even if it hurts a lot to do so we shouldn't be selfish and just think of ourselves.
