I rarely cry during romance genre films as the love story always seems too perfect and not close to real life. However, I find myself crying during this film and I think the difference lie in the fact that this movie centers upon a real illness, making the movie feel much closer to real life and sympathetic. The difficulties faced by the characters and how they confided in one another and bonded over their struggles is an aspect that many can relate to in real life. The defiance the characters faced and wanting to enjoy their lives to the fullest is something everyone has felt at some point in their lives or still feels today. I think this movie makes me more content with my life and more appreciative of the people who have supported me through my ups and downs.
