Unit 1: Brave New World (1ère AMC)

My Sister’s Keeper (Trailer)

The document under study is trailer for the movie entitled “My Sister’s Keeper” released in 2009, directed by Nick Cassavetes. We have learned about the impacts of being a savior sibling on Anna’s life: it is a full-time occupation, as she needs to accompany her sister to the hospital when needed to. She has already donated a lot to her sister, now she will have to donate one kidney to her sister. However, living with only one kidney will lead to a difficult life and may downgrade her immune system.

Therefore, Anna decides to hire a lawyer to sue/prosecute her parents in order to have the full rights over her own body. As a result, it will be a way to stop being a savior sibling.

On the announcement, her parents were shocked: in fact, her mother was strongly against and did not understand why Anna decided to sue them. On the other hand, the father seemed to sympathize with Anna because he is aware that they created her genetically to save their daughter Kate.

Eventually, Kate would like to be healed but she does not want to see her family broken because of her.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
