The Movie I watched Emotionally
Emotional movie
''Now is Good,'' a movie to be watched if you have not yet watched it, I think you should go for it. I have a different opinion of this movie. It showed me so much more about the true meaning of life.
Dakota Fanning is one of the best actresses on my list of actresses.
Some people don't like the portrayal of Dakota Fanning being terminally ill with cancer and the way she predicted her image in this movie.
A teenager going through such an experience at seventeen her whole life had been taken away from her.
Tessa (Dakota Fanning), created her very own list to do whatever she wanted to, and to feel and know more about life itself.
Her short life made her see daily activities as adventurous, instead of sitting on the couch and feeling sorry for herself as she wanted to be alive inside.
Her role played here was phenomenal.
If you watched ''A Walk to Remember'' you will have an idea of what I am talking about.
Her appearance with concise hair and how she reacts to her life are amazing. Dying of leukaemia did not stop her from living her life with some risks.
Tessa held it all in for a long time and had to still be without one of her parents through all the symptoms.
Even though her parents were not together she felt pain for both herself and herself. The movie taught me that life has many moments and should be treated as a precious gift.
Live every moment to be enjoyed and be happy with life.
It is not another Bucket list movie just to see how Tessa/Dakota Fanning) deals with her life through such an ordeal.
This made me see how one can take in the pain and still struggle to live.
Dakota Fanning as Tessa Scott played her role with a great British accent and that was quite an impressive play for me.
After her diagnosis of leukaemia, she spent four years on chemotherapy but did not continue the treatment. The cancer was terminal and the treatment did not change much for her, so she chose to stop treatment and follow her list.
Tessa had a best friend named Zoey who liked to party and her boyfriend had issues. Zoey (Kaya Scoderlario) stood by Tessa all the way and was supportive of her through all times. Risky behaviours like shoplifting and stealing a bank card from an individual while cashing out at the ATM did get them into trouble.
Tessa's parents divorced and the mother did not often see Tessa. It was very painful for both parents to watch their daughter die and not being able to help out was their worst nightmare.
Tessa's dad played by (Paddy Considine)could not cope with the situation. He lived in denial. Her mother played by (Olivia Williams) did not know how to approach her daughter not living together made everything feel estranged.
Tessa's brother played by (Edgar Canham) Cal, needed the attention of his parents but felt jealous about what was going on in most situations he felt lonely.
She wanted to lose her virginity, take drugs, ride a motorbike, and experience whatever else she could in the short time she had on earth.
The moments are precious no matter how and she made sure to have fulfilled her moments. Tessa showed her strength and did not seek pity from anyone. She wanted to be strong for herself and those around her.
The young American terminally ill from leukaemia wanted to be in love and lose her virginity to someone she could trust and have in her short-lived life. Her dad did not allow Adam the sleepover that Tessa wanted.
It was no problem for Tessa to still go ahead with the plan to have Adam over.
He jumped in through the opened bedroom window and felt great to be with the one he so dearly loved. A movie with sadness and mixed emotions.
A teenager who had a list created after knowing her life was falling apart but did not fail to do what she knew would make her feel alive from the inside.
A great act and was so different from her other movies.
A Brighton girl dying of cancer and so little time for her list. Tessa wanted to live to see her best friend's baby but her life just moved in another direction. I was emotional at the end of this movie.
A parent never stops worrying about their child. When young it is a different kind of worry and when older the worry still goes on.
In this case, Tessa was dying of cancer and her parents did not want their daughter to leave them and they worried but helplessly.
I have learned so much about life in ''Now is Good.'' It brought more light to my life. I know that worry for a child will not go away. No matter how old your child is one will always worry or be concerned in some ways.
It is a normal instinct of parents to love their child through all times is another part of your life that won't disappear. Both parents were divorced and Tessa's mother did not know how to answer the doctor's questions about Tessa's symptoms.
I felt sad for the mother because she did not spend much time with her daughter and could not inform the doctor of her daughter's health in the emergency room.
An emotional kind of drama and you need to watch ''Now is Good'' a great movie.
Tessa is confronted with many emotions, including anger, sadness, and some happiness.
So much confusion and anxiousness are uncontrollable but these emotions have to be taken into consideration when living with such an illness.
Making a bucket list sounds like a nice thought and the thought of dying can be very hurtful to all loved ones. You have to treasure your memories even at your last worst moments. Love hurts and makes you feel happy.
Think about your life in a series of moments. You will see that you don't need a tragedy to show you how great life can be. When life is taken for granted you don't see who is close to you instead you see everything else that is less important.
A movie such as this one may not be for everyone to watch. Love, pain, and anger can destroy a person's life if not understood. One has to understand and respect the wishes of others in these situations.
Allow the patient to decide what they want for their benefits as well as yours.
Anything and anyone can upset your life for some reason and everything happens for a reason.
You just need to accept whatever goes on in your loved one's life. When one chooses to do something let it be. It is easier on both if you accept these challenges.
It may seem impossible but it would feel that way if you let it be. You walk the journey together as one. It is difficult but you can be strong and cope with such tragedies.
