We didn't think of the same scene, however, as "the heartwrenching moment." Different significant turns in the movie had the greatest impact on each of us.Roy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03946269917258548537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24266137.post-20839746189044209412009-07-14T17:47:51.549-07:002009-07-14T17:47:51.549-07:00Jen, I've both seen the movie and read the boo...Jen, I've both seen the movie and read the book you're taking about and I feel like you've just written everything I felt about both of them! Loved the movie, LOVE Kristen Scott Thomas (she's so classy) and the moment with her mother did me in too. <br />If you liked that movie, you might want to rent Tell No One - Ne Le Dit A Personne. Another incredible french film, with KST in a great supporting role. A very intense storyline, but really strong acting, action, emotions and plot. I highly recommend it (although there are some graphic bits to it, so be warned!)<br />I read My Sister's Keeper when my boys were just 4 months old, and I totally felt manipulated as a mother by the whole story, and like Becky, really angry with the ending. I'v stopped reading Jodi Picoult novels, because although I get caught up in the characters, I tend to feel like the novels just follow a formula she's created and end up dissapointed with the ending.<br />If you're looking for a good summer book, I just finished reading The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, and it was a great read. Its a love story with a twist, a historical novel set in modern times. I read it in 4 days because I couldn't put it down.<br />Anyway, that's my two cents, sorry for going on and on!<br />Take care,<br />PascalePascalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964636932077428974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24266137.post-70732160095680318512009-07-14T17:36:34.991-07:002009-07-14T17:36:34.991-07:00I totally agree with you about My Sister's Kee...I totally agree with you about My Sister's Keeper. Totally manipulative. The ending left me angry and I didn't shed a tear because I wanted to just throw the book across the room. The ending made the whole book pointless and pretty much pi**** me off! I will have to watch this movie and see what I think. I usually love stories about people and MSK held my attention until the end where, like I said, left me just mad!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133029016351210704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24266137.post-68125798027167952812009-07-14T17:36:10.737-07:002009-07-14T17:36:10.737-07:00I'll definitely have to go rent it now.
