She never got to choose. She was donating parts of herself since birth.
But she did choose.
Her sister asked her to stop the donations, so she can die...
You could clearly see that it wasnt easy on her to say yes to that...
This isnt just mother against daughter, its about annas morals and her and her sisters promise ...
That poor girl had more on her shoulders than she shouldve had.
Wouldve been hard for me to say to my family that i wont do an operation that would save my sister, even if she asked me for that and even if i dont really want to do that...
That movie is so complicated
Sparks That literally was her entire purpose.
Sparks right
The book explains that too. Kate made a hard decision to stand up for Anna and convince her to fight for her rights to her body. She was feeling resentment for Sara because she had ignored her countless of times when she mentioned that she wanted to die.
Yeah I noticed is that real
How exactly is Anna considered spoiled when her mom says, "spoiled little sh**)? She's basically been a donor slave for her sister her entire life. She is just tired of being a donor and is tired of being used.
Annie Tribble even more sad that it's actually Kate who asked her to refuse when Anna had been willing to accept =/
did the mom really said " spoiled little shit"??!!
@@desisarod 0:56
@@buxxi90 wow...
That's just how shitty moms are. Mines the same.
Cameron Diaz pissed me off so much in this movie. But she did an excellent job.
DHGlee2013 I know right
well.... theres a reason she never wanted to be a mother...
Truly amazing acting
She's so underrated tbh
Well, if she pissed us, then that means she did a damn good job.
harvesting a human for their body parts is just creepy and unethical af.
It'a not creepy or unethical if the donor is a willing participant. But, the problem is, Anna isn't, she loves her sister and her familly, but she doesn't want to be a donor anymore, which makes it unethical in this case.
@@eleanormunt2860 Have you watched the movie?
Eleanor Munt no she wants to but her sister doesn’t want her to give up her kidney
@@meghanmmagicss2876 in the book, it was because she actually not want to, not because kate asked her to... Which more sad, and she end up dead too and the kidney goes to kate when she declared brain dead :(
Silvia Foxworth i agree but if i were in it, i can’t say i wouldnt do it. And b as terrible as that mom. Im on anna’s side as an outsider but i get where her mom’s coming from and how she could turn in to a monster to save her child. Nothing matters as much as that child living.
I think its insane that they actually had a child just for harvesting her organs like ??? Wtf?
It happens a lot. I know many myself. It is a bit insane, but until you're that desperate and scared you can't fully understand what goes on in their minds. They're not awful people.
What's so wrong about it? Doesn't mean you'll not love the other child, obviously. It may even reinforce a special bond. So long as there's love and respect!
@-- I said so long as there's love and RESPECT. For example, having another baby so as to harvest stem cells from a newborn sibiling is a PERFECTLY UNHARMAFUL way of helping a sick child by having another baby, one that you can love as much as the eldest. Donating a piece of the liver, which can grow back - another almost harmful example, which occurs ALL THE TIME. When you go out of your way to sacrifice your youngest's organs and health, that is different. I answered the way I did, because even in the movie they didn't want to harvest the youngest's organs when they had her, that came up later, so let's not judge people so harshly.
As a mother you will do whatever you can for your child.
@@mbm9907 so is the kid born later not a mother's child?
In the book they go more in depth on the reason why they had Anna in the first place: to save Kate. They weren't planning on having another child, but when they realized they could have one that could help save their other child, they went ahead and did it, which makes me feel sick. I understand the need to save your child that is dying, but don't do it at the sake of your other child.
The movie does too, though only in a short scene when Kate is really young. I only recently watched the entire thing after years of only seeing bits and pieces. It was great.
In the book it was horrible to say the least
Like Sarah was even worse jn some aspects but that "then we must make sure she doesnt" when Brain told her about Kates death.
Like what kind of person are you?
Its a human being.You cant just create a human for spares like its an animal rised for meat
or any child for that matter
I just can’t fathom how they could have had the stomach to be intimate with each other in order to conceive a donor child. Just gross
@@wondawomenluvsupaman they weren't. It was IVF, and they only chose to implant the embryo that matched Kate's. She isn't a replica (obviously). But the blood type etc would be spot on.
I love how Jesse keeps yelling out to their mom, "stop yelling at her!" , trying so hard to seriously get their mom to listen.
Jesse is such an underrated gem
@@VixxOT6Starlight Honestly I thought Jesse was useless too, until I watched this part again and realize how thoughtful this young man is.
@@HienLe-eg6xs He's the neglected middle child. You tend to see a lot when no one will listen to you.
@@MsAliciaRL I thought he's the eldest?
It's until the end of the movie you understand why he sticks up for here. All 3 kids have a secret between them that the adults don't know about
“Hey mom I’d like to keep my kidney”
“You spoiled little shit”
I know that the mother is desperate to save her oldest daughter's life but just what kind of person do you have to be if you bring a child into this world, only for his/her reason to live is to die for someone else?
@Dustin Keil You're a fucking idiot.
Desperate. I know many families who have done just this. They're scared and desperate people. That's what they have in common. Outside of that they are very different (including politically to the moron who replied to you).
Anna. 💕😢
AnniMu Exactly, what kinda life is that?
@Dustin Keil I’m against socialism, but you are a fucking idiot
abigail breslin was so beyond her years in this performance! she is fabulous
kylie *😍😍😍*
after a role like this... in her childhood... to... scream queens...
Desirée Rodríguez ikr, such a shame
And now scream queens...Hollywood really did her dirty
@@mustafa-cx2fg um im sorry scream queens was an iconic golden show
When people donate their organs to strangers, they get to decide. They volunteer for it and decide that that's what they want to do. Her parents created her so that she could do it, they told her why but they never actually asked her if she wanted to do it, they just fooled themselves into thinking that's what she wanted.
Telling Anna she never had to anything she didn't want to do was gaslighting.
Tbh donating organs like this shouldn't even be legal for minors. She can't really consent to this.
Most people do not donate organs when they're alive, they're usually dead and cannot choose as organ donation registers have been scrapped in most countries and they just take them.
@@brubs2556 That's the plot of the movie, the problem is since she's a minor, her parents must consent in her place, and they do. So she's trying to get emancipated so that she can decide for herself
@@idek7438 I know, but I mean, where I live minors can't voluntarily donate organs in any case. I think that makes more sense, because not even parents should be able to consent to this. She shouldn't even be put in this position.
I like how Jesse said “stop yelling at her”. He cares for Anna and just wants his mom to listen.
Jesse saw so much, and I love how he stood up for both of his sisters. Including fighting for Kate's right to die.
Well, he has been neglected as well.
Anna: "You leave me here with her."
Mom: "EXCUSE ME?!"
me and my mom
Your mom is then just as ugly as Cami's character in this.
Fr
I know, Cameron Diaz was really good in this film. I hated her so much. Best movie from her.
That young girl is such a great actress
She was an amazing, oscar-nominated, child actress. Now as an adult, she's rather obnoxious and over the top.
kaleigh perry Chanel #5 has come a long way.
yes
Is Abigail Breslin: The most Beautiful Girl in the Universe
Bryan Torres yea!!
This started happening to me when I was 10 years old. My parents didnt have me to save my brother but when they realized they could, that's all I was. My parents tried to use me to save my brother. As I got older I realized what my parents did and I felt so guilty when he passed away because I really thought that it was my fault for not being able to do more. This perfectly expresses my emotions that I still have today. I'm important too..
Gabby Rangel you are so important
I'm so sorry this happened to you
You're important, hon! You deserve to have your own life. :D
Yes, you are.
I'm so sorry for your family for going through this. You and your brother gave an unbelievable fight. You are so brave and your heart it's kind. Hope you are having a beautiful year
No child should EVER have to scream at their own mom that 'I'm important, too'. It should be OBVIOUS. I feel so, so sad for this poor child! :,(
Aww, Anna, Kate and Jesse. I think all three felt unimportant, esp Anna. Jesse because he was ignored except if he was acting. Kate, because despite all the focus on her as in the patient, it really wasn't on her as in the person. She wanted to pass on. She wanted her family's agony to stop. You can see this in the scene where she shows her mom the book of all pictures & whatnot that was family outside of her sickness. And then, there's that scene where Kate wants to rest. She's so sick. But Sara compels her to be all energetic. 🙁
and the most touching thing is Anna didn't mean it at all. she didn't want to do tat. but her sister begged her to
Except her sister begged her to tell them how she felt
She did mean all that, she just cared about her sister more
Her sister who knew she would die anyway and didn't want her sister to have to limit her own life for a useless cause
I think the most touching part it the brother telling the mom to stop yelling at her. He knew those were not Annas words and it wasn't fair for her to get yelled at over it when it was what Kate wanted her to say.
Oyunsar Stefanie and her brother knew. After watching it again, i see the pain he is going through.
Even if she did mean it. She has every right to feel that way and to turn down helping. This movie was soooo good.
It took the family having to go to court for Sara to finally listen to them. Anna had every right to be mad at her because she was forcing Kate to stay alive. She was just tired from having to continue donating her body parts and just wanted rights to her own body. The only reason Anna never said anything was because of needing to keep Kate alive.
Jesse knew how Anna felt because he was just tired of being ignored by Sara. He also knew that Kate was the one who asked her to stand up for herself and fight.
i love the brother. he is on both of her sisters side, sees through his mom's shit and hates the behavior towards the little sister. good bro
He is dealing with guilt for not being a match able to save the sister. Of course he should not feel guilty. There are the doctors, the dad is a fireman but despite all those good people who do amazing things to save lives, life and death is not something we can control.
the soul of the movie is in this scene, "im important too mom! Im important too!"
I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a doner child. Knowing you were born just for the sole purpose to have constant surgeries all the time. That would seriously fuck up my self esteem. One of my closest friends has a cousin who is a donor child & her parents treat her like absolute shit and she has like zero confidence. It's gotta suck.
Jasmine Simmons Child services needs to get hat cousin out, that’s absolutely fucking awful the concept itself is just shitty
Jasmine Simmons people actually do that
It's sickening to know it's a thing that there are children born just to do something like this and to have no love
its also child abuse
Except if I remember correctly, they have another daughter purely for the benefit of her being a walking transplant for her sister.
"You've never had to do anything you don't wanna do." Bollocks
Yeah man, cause a 5 year old surely can decide what they want
Of course she had to because her mother never asked she just thought her younger daughter would carry on doing it without any complaints,and why was her younger daughter spoilt just because she finally stood up to her mother and said no
Yup, if I remember correctly from the film she was actually prevented from doing anything at all because she had to always be ready to donate some part of her at a moments notice if the need came up. No trips, no extra curricular, no sports especially, no parties, etc and if she somehow became sick she was scolded and ignored because she wasn't useful and the mom was too busy obsessing over the older sister
They literally had a scene where they held her down so she would go through with an operation
@@riag.4804 Yea she was crying and begging to get out of there.She was 5 at that scene..
Having another kid just so they could be a "donor child" should be illegal thats unfit parenting
Brianna Thompson exactly, it's beyond deplorable.
It’s horrible that people are even allowed to do this. I remember watching a CSI episode where a little girl was murdered and it turned out she was one of these kids born so they could treat her brothers cancer. The parents even went as far as to resent their other daughter because she wasn’t a close enough match. The brother with the cancer turned out to be the killer because he wanted to “put her out of her misery”.
shastapurpledaisy Thats sick
I know :( I just hope kids born for this purpose are suffering way less
It’s disgusting
What happens when they need something major like heart or lungs? Then what?
This movie was a rare case of a better ending than the book. Book basically implied that everything would have been fine had the donation just happened, instead of the moral lesson of letting go/ acceptance. I felt like the twist where she was just doing what her older sister asked of her got undermined in the book with the ending whereas in the movie, the impact had to follow through.
[spoiler]
I feel like the book was much more heartbreaking. Immediately after she won the lawsuit for the rights to her body she was involved in an accident and died and her organs were donated because her lawyer allowed them to. She fought so hard only to die in the end and still have to give up her organs. The film ending was arguably better because it felt happier, but the book was so harsh.
Neither sister got what they wanted in the end
@@ccrraazzyyggiirrll WAIT WHAT?????
@@kayisawayy the book was a actual rollercoaster of emotions- when I finished it I put it down and never opened it again
@hm I tagged spoilers and no one forced you to read further
😂 I’ll only apologise cause I am not an ass, but sorry
@hm dog it’s been like 10 years since both came out. That’s on you.
The “LET ME GO” sounded so true to her part
Leilani Martinez, I read the book and the only reason Anna is alive is because her parents wanted to save Kate. That is the only reason why she is only alive in the first place. She was born to save her sister. Her parents kind of take her for granted, especially the mother, Sara.
Mari Sachs she dies in the book
mfstarr1
What is the book called
Severus Snape my sisters keeper
mfstarr1
Thank you
Yeah, I haven't read the book but I've been told that it ends with Anna winning her case, but then dying in a car accident, and her parents taking her kidney anyways. Which is a terrible ending to this story imo.
"Can't drink."
I love the aunt's input XD
She said you can drink
Personally, I don't care how sick one child might be, no parent has the right to risk the survival and safety of one child to save another. Not the degree that Anna's parents are constantly doing. I mean, it's one thing if a child voluntarily wants to help their sibling, but only if they're old enough to understand the consequences of such things and it's not going to put them in danger. It's quite another to constantly force a child to give up parts of themselves to someone who might not even survive the procedure.
Shadowstar395 the parents should be in prison, it's straight up child abuse. and the mom tells Anna SHE'S spoiled?! wow. 😞 the mom should really take a long look in the mirror.
Brian later called Sara out and made her see that she was the spoiled brat. He pointed out that it was she that was endangering both Kate and Anna's lives by forcing them to undergo surgery.
At some point, Sara stopped listening to her family and the doctors when they warned her that the kidney transplant wasn't going to be successful. Even her older sister, Suzanne(Kellyin the film), knew what she was doing was wrong and asked her to let Kate go. Sara refused and her behavior is what lead to her neglecting her family and the strained relationship between her and Suzanne.
It took the family going to court and Anna suing Sara for medical emancipation to finally get her to listen to them
YAAS! If a family member is of age and wants to donate by their own free will, good! But all Sara's children deserved love & a chance to choose their fate. 🖒
also it's recommended that a stranger gives you the organ. transplants where you know the person almost always end the relationship after a while because they feel indebted to the person.
@@spacebar9733 I was just thinking how Selena Gomez doesn't seem to have any relationship anymore with her friend who gave her the kidney and did all the interviews, and obviously without being sure, I suspect the situation is something like this
It always was such a strong moment that Jesse stood up for Anna.
He knew that Anna was going through the same neglect as he is and is aware that Kate was the one who asked her to stand up for herself.
She's not a fucking thanksgiving turkey, you don't just get to cut the pieces you want out of her. She should have the rights to her body. I hate how people feel just because your a kid you shouldn't have any say in anything
"You never had to do anything you didn't want to do."
Meanwhile doesn't let her say no to giving away her own kidney.
hmmm
The best part? In the real world, any reputable doctor would reject Anna as a donor out of hand after spending 5 minutes with the family.
1: She's under 18.
2: She's obviously not willing. Heads up, folks. If you ever find yourself in a position where you're being pressured to test if you're a viable candidate for a donation, tell the doctor you're being pressured into it. That becomes the END of the discussion.
“I’m important too!”
When Anna and Kate were talking as Kate was doing Anna’s hair, she told Anna to tell their mum that “she’s important too”
I am glad the movie ended differently than the book. The movie ending was so much more honest and realistic than the book ending.
yep, the book ending broke me, Anna deserved more, life is cruel
She's ruining one of her child's lives to benefit the others.
She ruined all of their lives, unfortunetly.
Kate is living only to please her mother, Anna has to live knowing shes just an organ donor to her mom and Jesse is an arson.
Such a nice family, right?😂
Abigail is such a good actress.
I know we're supposed to believe that Sara loves Anna but I feel like we've never seen a scene that shows that. I wish they could have had one scene together that showed they were a loving mother and daughter. That scene in the end where they just started at each other didn't count for me.
I belive there is a deleted scene where Sara apologizes to Anna for slapping her and telling her not to worry, that she (Sara) will "fix it".
They did at the end of the movie when the family went to Montana in honor of Kate's birthday. Sara admitted she was proud of Anna for fighting for her rights and apologizes for how she's treated her.
There was arrested scene where Sara apologizes to Anna for smacking Anna in the face.
Reading the book is so much harder. You can really tell from Sara's actions that she does not love Anna for the right reasons or really the way that she should. Its sara making all the choices for Kate and Anna. They are both being abused in many ways through the whole story because Sara is selfish and cant let kate go.
It is amazing to me how Anna does not have resentment towards her mother. Sara had no emotional connection to her in the book, only the husband really did.
Before the verdict, Anna finally told Sara about Kate's wishes to die. While in shock at first, she comes to terms with it and wished that she was told this a while back. Sara soon understood that Anna was only trying to protect Kate because she didn't want their mother being mad at her. She admits she is proud of Anna for standing up for her own rights to her body and make medical decisions. That scene, her death and in Kate's epilogue were the closest Sara has in showing emotional connection to her.
"You've never had to do anything that you didn't want to do"
Yeah except donate body parts against her will since the age of 5.
I love the brother in this scene.
I remember reading this book and being shocked to learn that they only had her to be a donor. I can still remember that moment so clearly.
"You've never hat to do anything you don't wanna do" Yeah just donate myself to my sister my whole life.
You go girl. I love how she stands up for herself! I love this movie.
yeah man
Good for the brother for standing up for Anna
This whole movie broke me. I’m very aware of the transplant world as my dad had a heart transplant in 2018. Families go through so much and for so long. It’s completely fair for this girl to feel this way. I met a guy who donated a kidney years ago to a stranger. He gave up so much to save one person. Years later, he needed a kidney transplant along with his heart transplant. Because he was already a donor to someone, he was placed right at the top of the list.
*0:54**-**0:56*
Anna: "I always *wound up* doing everything, now didnt I?"
ouch
That hurt over here
You can't drink.....
Kelly being a mood
I remember when I first watched this it broke my heart that she had to explain that she was important as well bless her
it was lovely that her brother was fighting for her such a sweet boy, and it's like her mother didn't give a shit about her
Wow. And to think in the book, Anna was all like:
"Why are you doing this?"
"Just...cuz."
Every one is important but you don't have to risk someone else's life just to save one person
“You leave me here with her” Anna saying it like she wishes Sara werent her mum 0:56 😂 “everyone be quiet” 😂😂 that was quite funny
I really wanted to like the dad. He was definitely complicit, but at least he was willing to hear out his *other* daughter.
you should never sacrifice one child for another
Abigail Breslin who plays Anna in this sad & good movie should have gotten an Academy Award for this role. 💔
And for people who think Anna truly want ed to be donating her organs, she is manipulated from birth that she has the responsibility to do so. Her pain and emotions were real. She only needed Kate to remind her what their parents were doing were never right from the first place. This part just makes it more fucked up because the donor sibling was fated and designed to be spare parts, including their mindset.
This role in the hands of a less talented actress could have played so differently. Abigail Breslin is just amazing!!!
She didn't really mean refusing giving her organs. She did it because her dying sister asked her to. And the most inspiring thing is how brave she is to conflict with her family her loved people, parents. And that means her parents raised her as a strong person
I think its still fucked that the mom fought through the end until Jesse told her that Kate was the one wanting to stop the procedure. She didn't care about her youngest daughter at all.
Creating life for the sheer purpose of using that life like a bag of spare parts is not the action of a loving parent
Its the action of a fucking monster
No one should have to be sacrificed for another person
"You've never had to do anything you didn't want to do."
That is such an excuse, you biologically had another child to save the other, and basically used their love to get what you wanted.
Calling your daughter, who has gone through countless surgeries to keep her sister alive, a “spoilt little shit” is some next level terrible parenting. If you can’t be a parent to all of your children, you shouldn’t be a parent at all.
Omg i didnt remember this movie but watching it again as an adult made me realize that the mom was the master manipulator gaslighting blackmailing
Yes. And you have to remember that she is a professional lawyer and they can be masters at manipulating people to get their own way.what chance did an 11 year old have against her?
I was kinda on the mom's side. Wanting to save her child. But the thing that really made me stop is what she called Anna in this scene. A "spoiled little shit". She is not spoiled and how dare her mom say that to her after all that Anna has done for her mom and her sister. If anything the mom is selfish. Anna is concerned about the operation ruining her life. I understand her mom wants to save Kate, but Kate is going to die either way. Which is worse: Ruining one life or two
DismemberedHat I agree. What's truly selfish is having a child just so you can use them for their body parts and just expecting them to be perfectly okay with their body being chopped up. The mother is the selfish one. She doesn't care about her daughter at all. She only sees her as spare parts.
She wants to save one child at the expense of hurting another. To me, that’s not okay. That’s _never_ okay, and is sick and plain DISGUSTING.
Everyone tried to warn Sara against her plans. The doctors did warn that the kidney transplant wasn't going to be successful at all and both Anna and Kate will face complications later on. Even Suzanne(Sara's older sister in the novel) warned her against the transplant surgery because she was endangering her daughters' own lives. At some point, she stopped listening to everyone and cared about her own interests.
The family were running out of options. Kate asking Anna to sue Sara for Medical Emancipation and going to court was their last chance.
I'm not at all on Sara's side. She's an absolute shitty mother. Absolutely shitty. Mothers are suppose to love, protect, and care for their children. She did the opposite of all those things. She tortured Anna, neglected Jesse, and ignored Kate's wishes.
Parents need to realise Children are not property.
This movie stayed with me all those years, I even wrote about it on an essay competition. Feeling incomplete, I decided to read the book... and that was really a sucker-punch to the gut because the plot twist was real 😱
(It was a bit long and crowded since there was a parallel story regarding Anna's lawyer, but other than that, the metaphors and poetic narratives were worth it 👌🏻).
You dont have a second child to be spare parts for your first child....
The saddest fact is in the twist itself. Jesse is just wanting his sister to speak her piece for what is basically her having to be a donor for her dying sister. An aspect she grasps but the mom is lording over her like it’s an obligation but says “she never had to do anything she didn’t want to”.
And the icing is how It’s Kate (they dying sister) making Anna do all that.
She grasps her mortality and knows it’s not fair her sister will have to take a bullet in the stomach so she doesn’t have to take one in the shoulder.
(Yes I know Anna was a savior sibling basically bred to be a nearly perfect organ donor for Kate my point is she knows it isn’t fair if both her and her sister die)
Imagine growing up knowing you were basically spare parts
Did you watch the whole movie ? I read the comments and I wonder.
In the end, we learn that Anna wants to give her kidney, it's Kate who doesn't want it !
(sorry if my english is wrong, I'm french)
Yes she did want her to refuse and your English is fine :)
But the arguments Anna is making in this scene are still valid
It is still sad because Anna wanted it mainly because she was coerced by her parents from birth that her sole purpose is to provide parts for her sister. She needed Kate to give her a wake up call to realize what their mother was doing was wrong
That's what I'd wanna tell my mother *i'm important too mom i'm important too!*
I watched this movie once and I never plan on doing it again. I cried so hard...
i actually relate to this movie a lot. i may not be an organ donor to my sibling but i was born for the reason of being a nanny to my eldest brother. every time i feel like i would want to do something for myself instead of dedicating my entire life to my eldest (who treated my other brother and i shit), my parents would say that i was born to be my brother's babysitter for the rest of my life. the same tiredness that anna felt is the same thing i'm feeling because i'm so tired for being used for someone's sake and not be considered as an individual.
That woman has more salt than the ocean.
And the sea.
That too. Wait, what's the difference?
No soul is more than another, her body her choice.
Sara thinks that she has more than one body. She's a blonde female, non-widowed version of Danny Tanner. Unlike Danny, Sara slaps one of her daughters in the face. Danny just lectures his daughters as he's being such a Mr. Karen.
Danny: not part of this story.
I love how she called her mother as her.. not mom.
I'm important too!
This movie is so sad and I really loved it!
Sometimes I'm wondering how the actors could handle their roles, especially the actress who played Kate.....
Oooooo tea ☕☕☕☕🍵🍵🍵
I half expected the mother to start screaming "WE ONLY HAD YOU FOR SPARE PARTS!"
Always watch this part when I need a good cry thank you for uploading
I would have said the exact same thing to my mum if i was expected to do this for my sister
We watched this movie in my bio class sophomore year. Some people were crying at the ending
From the whole movie
The Farther is best character in this movie
I remember seeing this movie and extremely disliking both parents. They conceived a second child not because they wanted to love that child, but because they wanted to use it for spare parts. They wouldn't have cared if she had refused, they would have taken her parts anyway. That is why they fought so hard, and in the end only the father really accepted that he was wrong. The mother wanted to use force until she had definitively lost.
I hate everyone in this scene.
I actually seen like a 60 minutes video of this family that had a son so he could give his older sister who was sick bone marrow. They knew before he was born that he was a match because they took the mothers embryos and tested each one or something (easiest i can explain it tbh) but they did say if their daughter wasn't sick they probably wouldn't have had another kid. Like if he find that out when he's older, he's gonna feel terrible, maybe feel unloved
She’s right, it’s her life to
Dd u were important too...i get that.but when i needed u the most u werent there.missed u all my life.i love u di..
I agree with Anna. But the point is, say she did the operation and gave kate the kidney, what happens in the next week kate could of passed): she just gave up a kidney. I felt so bad for Kate. I just cancer never existed!
dancemomsvideosxo
And she can’t just get it back. That’s an irreversible surgery right there. She’s really not considering her feelings at all.
Anna can't live with all those operations. The most she will be doing is surviving.
Kate knew that and she decided to stand up for her sister's rights to live. She was brave in doing so because she knew Anna wanted to live a normal life. Kate also knew she couldn't as long as Sara continued treating her like a spare body parts and decided to put a stop to it. She asked Anna to stand up for her rights and sue for medical emancipation. Kate wanted to die for a long time, but Sara would never let her go.
quite the problem: she exists for the sole purpose of her sister by that reasoning she has no importance
i would say don't bring people in the world with no belief to raise them, for all they knew their other daughter could've died in a random surgery accident while having her and they'd be screwed with one kid on the way for now no reason
you never know what could happen
I cried during this whole film.
Imagine reading this...so many feels.
I get where the mum is coming from, but would you put one life at risk to save another? If I were Anna, i'd be protesting too.

If I were Anna, I’d moved out of the house the second they brought up another surgery.

Amazing acting, im blown away
What is it about parents calling their children spoiled after all their parents I’m done is take care of them? That’s what you’re supposed to do, take care of your children lol it’s so funny how they guilt trip her
You know what I hated in this movie? The damn end.
The book had such a good ending, it made me weep. That was one of the first books that made me cry. So I was pretty hyped when I saw that there'll be a movie. I was so frustrated that they changed the ending completely and didn't go more into detail with the characters, like the lawyer.
Watching this scene just makes me wish that the movie had gone with the novels ending. I just get so ticked off at how nasty Sarah gets with Anna. Calling your daughter a “spoiled little shit”, are you serious? I always felt an uneasiness when watching this movie, constantly questioning whether Anna was truly loved by her parents. With Brian it’s more apparent that he loves all three of his kids, even if he struggles to consider all of their feelings. But the guilt he holds for the pain he and Sarah have afflicted on Anna over the years weighs heavy on him. The deleted scenes so more of Brian’s guilt and tenseness to Anna, which I think should’ve been shown. But with Sarah, her desperation and determination to save Kate is so strong that it trumps everything else in her life. That includes her kids as well. But at least with Jesse you can see there’s love for him. She did have him before Kate got sick, so her feelings for him are less questionable. But because Anna was meant to be a donor baby, and because of her desire to save her daughter at all cost, the maternal “love” she claimed to have for Anna always seemed fake. And scenes like this only drive that point even further. She doesn’t care about Anna and how this has affected her. And to have the nerve to call her a spoil little shit is down right audacious. It felt satisfying in the novel when Anna won the case. But (spoilers for those who haven’t read the book; at your own risk) her death immediately was utterly heartbreaking. And yet it’s at that moment, when she realizes she has lost her, that Sarah’s love for Anna finally comes out. After spending her entire life trying to save one daughter, the one she lost was the one she owed so much and had treated so horribly. It’s that old saying: you didn’t know what a good thing you had when had it. It’s only afterwards we realize what it meant. And for Sarah, she realized too late what Anna to her. The movies ending, although not bad (I’m happy Anna got to live here), leaves me feeling unsatisfied with the resolution of Anna and Sarah’s relationship as mother and daughter. Even that final shot of them smiling at each other in Montana isn’t enough. Too much was said and done and Anna had gone through so much hurt and crap from her mother, that I felt we needed to see a moment of reconciliation. At the very least, have Sarah say something of an apology.
theyre called savior siblings and i cant believe its not illegal
I remember this movie has ever stayed as my no.1 favorite movie until I discovered "17 again" and then "The Man From UNCLE"
But they're still my no. 1 in each genre :)
They were the worst parents ever, they had another child just to use as a donor. She knew it too, she knew she wasn't important to them, which is so sad.
