A lifetime in twelve days
28 January 2017
I cam tell one thing: if I had known the story I was going to see I certainly wouldn't have started. I don't really like this kind of extremely sad films, especially when they are are about sick children. But I started watching the movie and, even if I have used a lot of tissues to dry my eyes, I am kind of happy I have. On the one hand, it is a sad story, but, on the other hand, it is a very optimistic one. This rough lady in pink finds solutions where the gentle doctor has failed to. Medicine is beaten, humanity is not. The dialogue between the pizza lady and the sick boy is an example (of course, unrealistic sometimes) of psychologists' talent. Oscar is desperate and alone in his fatal malady, but his new friend fills his life and brings back everybody to him: his parents, the nurses and even his "girlfriend". It is somehow a therapy and a family therapy for Rose, who regains her son and daughter. And, finally, it is a therapy for the doctor himself, who gets his self-confidence back. What a pity it takes the death of a little boy fr his spectacular gains ... All in all, the acting is great, but ... I confess I am a little worried for the young actors who played. How much this "game" will influence there lives?
