My Sister's Keeper is one movie that i have enjoyed to watch. This movie has a character driven plot; all movies have a twist or surprise to it. However, My Sister's Keeper is a story with a lesson. Kate Fitzgerald is a middle child and has a sister Anna. Anna and her sister Kate are close; these to sister gain a strong relationship throughout the movie by them facing the struggle of Kate's cancer. Kate has been battling cancer almost her whole life and she is still only a young girl. Anna and Kate's mother, Sara Fitzgerald struggles to keep herself calm about her daughter's battle with cancer. The whole Fitzgerald family deals with the fact that family member is in and out of the hospital with the sickness of her medicine to stop the spread of Kate's cancer. My Sister's Keeper is a movie about a family going through different experiences then other families. Anna and Kate's relationship is shown by the decisions Anna does for their sister to save her life. This film is a movie that shows strengths of the two sisters. Each actor in this film portrayed well to the characters. Anna is a very strong girl; she is young but is very motivated and sets her mind to what she wants. Anna's sister Kate is a very caring young girl. Anna Fitzgerald is battling cancer and strives for her family to have a normal life. Sara Fitzgerald is a mother who tries to keep her family together. When Sara's children and husband explain that, she cannot control what happens with the battle of her daughter's cancer. Not being able to control every situation on Sara's family, it frustrates her. Many critics I read about for My Sister's Keeper said this film was "heartily affected". Critics said this film was an uplifting story. I would agree with what the critics said. My overall opinion is a good movie, I would required this movie so someone who has not seen it. This movie was a great film worth your time.
