"If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?"
This quote is from the book and movie 'My Sister's Keeper'. I had wanted to see it when it was in the theatres but never got a chance to and so with Carlos Schacht + Charlie Kolesi + myself; Chuck Campbell (our new appointed names as of Wednesday Night; Dec 16) we on multiple occasions attempted to attain a copy of this movie from the dvd shop. Seemingly impossible at times being not out yet when we tried. But alas, after a night of giggles at basketball, we began our quest to attain this movie once and for all. "Huzzah". We found it. It all happened so quickly. We walked into the shop, found the new releases section and it was there in all its glory, almost sitting there waiting for us. It was a memorable moment to say the least. We could hardly believe our luck!
Fast forward to later that night having coincidentally chosen the same restaurant to my mother; Charrel to order take-away from, pumping tunes in Carlos' fully sick car, eating our delicious Thai feast, showering and everything in between we finally sat down to watch the movie.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Whether i would need a tissue or a box of tissues. As it turned out i could have used about half a box.. I let a few tears slip about forty minutes in and they kept on coming. It was so sad, i loved it but it was so very sad and made you think afterwards. Which i love about movies, ones that make you think. Not just sit there mindlessly like a zombie.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents for the day. Enjoy.
