Hi guys from Hive and the @cinetv community 馃帴馃枼馃摻馃帪, I'm exploring communities and I came across this initiative and I really liked the theme of Cine TV Contest #135 - Favorite Movie Featuring a Mother and I'm taking this opportunity to participate and tell you about a movie I saw for the first time when I was 12 years old and I rewatch it whenever I can.
The movie is called: Anne's Choice
It's not my favorite movie, but it's one of the movies that has left me with a lot of questions because we see situations in it that are very difficult to talk about if you haven't experienced them firsthand. And I know I'm too young to understand some adult things, but I've seen the movie like five times and I still struggle to understand many things.
This film is about a girl named Anne, who was conceived by her parents at the request of Kate's oncologist. Anne's sister suffers from a very serious illness and, as a result, needs donors who are genetically compatible with her, since her parents and older brother are not compatible.
Thus, Anne is conceived through designer in vitro fertilization, which from what I understand is something like a planned conception so that she can be genetically compatible with her sister Kate and assist her in whatever she medically needs.
This is where the biggest question arises for me: How is it possible to conceive a child to save the other? The mother, a lawyer named Sara, does everything possible to save her daughter Kate, but at the expense of her other daughter, Anne. To me, it's contradictory. But looking at it from Kate's perspective, I think she was the best mother in the world because she wanted to save her at all costs. So much so that her mother fought a legal battle against her own daughter, Anne, to get her to continue acting as her daughter's donor in an attempt to save her daughter at all costs, putting her relationship with her husband at risk and neglecting her eldest son. #
As the mother, I don't know what my reaction would be to this case. I have many mixed feelings. As Anne, I would feel very frustrated that my parents conceived me only to save my children. My sister would feel unimportant and unappreciated. As Kate, I would feel very proud of my mother and very loved by her.
But from my perspective, Sara was a very bad mother for wanting to hold on to her daughter and try to save her even though she was suffering greatly and no longer wanted to live. She also caused great pain to her daughter, Anne, as she also suffered because her mother forced her to give parts of her body to Kate.
One of the events that most impacted me in the film was when Anne's mother tried to force her to donate her kidney to her sister Kate, even though the doctors told her that this could affect Anne's health and that there was a risk that she wouldn't be able to be a normal child, that she wouldn't be able to do simple things like run or play.
I think that in the first place I would not have had a daughter just to use her as a spare to save another daughter, I see it as very selfish on her part, I think that if it were to happen to me, which I hope never happens to me, I would focus on spending better family time with my two children and my husband, always asking them if they agree or not with the decisions that need to be made. #
My favorite scene in the movie was when the older brother stands in court and tells his mother that his sister no longer wants to live, and many of the reasons why Anne decided to sue her mother are revealed. This is where everything takes a surprising turn, and I invite you to watch it and find out what happened.
I found the ending very sad, but at the same time the best; mother and younger daughter were able to reconcile and forgive each other despite everything they had been through. Honestly, I would have liked a different ending where everyone lived happily, however, the film leaves a very significant lesson for me:
"Mothers sometimes fight with all their might when it comes to their children, often without considering the consequences of their actions." Maybe I'll learn this when I'm a mother in a few years.
For now, I'll continue reflecting and trying to learn many things that are still unclear to me about the film.
This has been my review. I hope you liked it. Oh, and in my country, we celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. I wish my mother and all mothers the best in the world, and thank you for giving us the best every day.
Bye guys, see you in the next post.

Hola chicos de Hive y de la comunidad de @cinetv 馃帴馃枼馃摻馃帪, estoy explorando comunidades y me encontr茅 con esta iniciativa y me gust贸 mucho el tema del Concurso Cine TV #135 - Pel铆cula favorita con una madrey aprovecho la oportunidad para participar y hablarles de una pel铆cula que vi por primera vez cuando ten铆a 12 a帽os y siempre que puedo la vuelvo a ver.
La pel铆cula se llama: La Decisi贸n de Anne
No es que sea mi pel铆cula favorita pero si una de las pel铆culas que me ha dejado muchas interrogantes porque en ella vemos situaciones de las cuales es muy dif铆cil de hablar si nos las has vivido en carne propia y s茅 que soy muy joven para entender algunas cosas de adultos, pero he visto la pel铆cula como cinco veces y a煤n me cuesta entender muchas cosas.
Esta pel铆cula trata sobre una chica llamada Anne, quienes su padres la concibieron por petici贸n del onc贸logo de Kate hermana de Anne quien sufre una enfermedad muy grave y como consecuencia de esta enfermedad necesita donantes que sean compatibles gen茅ticamente con ella, ya que sus padres y hermano mayor no son compatibles.
Es as铆 como Anne es concebida por medio de fecundaci贸n in vitro de dise帽o, que por lo que entiendo es algo as铆 como una concepci贸n planificada para que ella pueda ser gen茅ticamente compatible con su hermana Kate y asistirle en lo que ella m茅dicamente necesite.
Es aqu铆 donde surge para mi la mayor interrogante, 驴C贸mo es posible concebir un hijo para salvar al otro? La madre que es una abogada llama Sara hace hasta lo imposible para salvar a su hija Kate pero a costa de su otra hija Anne, para mi es algo contradictorio. Pero vi茅ndolo desde el punto de vista de Kate creo que era la mejor madre del mundo porque quer铆a salvarla a costa de todo, tanto as铆 que su mam谩 batall贸 en una lucha legal contra su propia hija Anne para lograr que 茅sta siguiera actuando como donante de su hija para intentar a toda costa salvarla, poniendo en riesgo su relaci贸n con su esposo y descuidando a su hijo mayor.
En el papel de la madre no s茅 cual ser铆a mi reacci贸n ante este caso, tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados, en el papel de Anne me sentir铆a muy frustrada de que mis padres me concibieron solo para salvar a mi hermana, sentar铆a que no soy importante ni me valoran. En el papel de Kate me sentir铆a muy orgullosa de mi madre, me sentir铆a muy amada por mi madre.
Pero vi茅ndolo desde mi punto de vista para m铆 Sara era una madre muy mala al querer aferrarse a su hija e intentar salvarla a pesar de que ella sufr铆a mucho y ya no quer铆a vivir, adem谩s le causaba un gran dolor a su hija Anne ya que ella sufr铆a tambi茅n porque su madre la obligaba a darle partes de su organismo a Kate.
Una de los hechos que m谩s me impact贸 en la pel铆cula fue cuando la mam谩 de Anne quiso obligarla a donarle el ri帽贸n a su hermana Kate a pesar de que los m茅dicos le dijeran que esto podr铆a afectar la salud de Anne y que se corr铆a el riesgo de que no pudiese ser una ni帽a normal, no podr铆a hacer cosas tan simples como correr ni jugar.
Yo creo que en primer lugar no hubiera tenido una hija solo para usarla como repuesto para salvar a otra hija, lo veo muy ego铆sta de su parte esas, yo creo que si me llegara a pasar que ojal谩 no me ocurra nunca, me centrar铆a en pasar mejores momentos en familia con mis dos hijos y mi esposo siempre pregunt谩ndoles si est谩n de acuerdo o no con las decisiones que haya que tomar.
La escena que m谩s me gust贸 de la pel铆cula fue cuando el hermano mayor se para en la corte y le dice a su mam谩 que su hermana ya no quiere seguir viviendo y se descubren muchas de las razones por las cuales Anne tom贸 la decisi贸n de demandar a su madre. Es aqu铆 donde todo da un giro sorprendente y los invito a verla y sepan lo que pas贸.
El final me pareci贸 muy triste, pero a la vez el mejor; ya que madre he hija menor pudieron reconciliarse y se perdonaron a pesar de todo lo que hab铆an vivido. Sinceramente me hubiese gustado otro final donde todos vivieran felices, sin embargo, la pel铆cula deja una lecci贸n muy significativa para m铆:
"Las madres a veces luchan con todas sus fuerzas cuando de los hijos se trata, sin medir muchas veces las consecuencias de sus actos." Tal vez aprenda esto cuando sea madre en unos cuantos a帽os..
Por los momentos seguir茅 reflexionando y tratando aprender muchas cosas que aun no me quedan clara de la pel铆cula.
Esta ha sido mi rese帽a, espero que les haya gustado, ah y en mi pa铆s celebramos el d铆a de las madres el segundo domingo del mes de mayo. Le deseo a mi madre y todas las madres lo mejor del mundo y gracias por darnos cada d铆a lo mejor.
Chao chicos, nos vemos en un pr贸ximo post.
