It's just not a movie to go around saying "it's so good, it made me cry, it'll make you cry too." Really it's best to use as an example of the real world of terminal cancer victims and their families. The movie was done well because it wasn't one of those sell out movies where they run scenes that have sad music, acting, tears, to make you cry. It's the raw fact that emotions were held back because it was difficult enough to handle not being able to do a thing about the cancer situation. It had no scenes that were like "reminder: this is a movie, let's make it funny, let's pop it up, let's throw in a corny plot twist." None of that here. Beautiful writing. The actors complimented the writing down to the timing. What killed me most was not knowing it was a true story until the end. I was watching the movie thinking, "yeah this happens in real life but it isn't likely". Then the ending showed the real people involved in the actual story. I was hitting stuff in my car and crying. Again, great writing because of the fact sometimes a character was difficult to understand until they spoke their feelings out with a few lines instead of the writing laying it out for us, making the actors look clumsy and stuck to being instant on their emotions. Movies should really go in this direction.
