    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A remake of the same-titled 1976 film.
    • Goofs
      When the doctor is showing an X-ray at the beginning of the scene, she puts the exam backwards, meaning the right side is on the left, thus changing the position of the heart--a mistake any med student would notice. She also says that there are several lesions in the chest, whereas the X-ray appears to be normal from the distance the viewer can see. Additionally, an X-ray is not the best exam to identify this kind of cancer; it would usually be a CT scan--an exam available in the time the story is being told.

    reality
    Everyone knows someone like this, they face something awful and turn out better people because of tragedy and not triumph. I am not talking about people you are out of control, but rather about people who are just what they present. I love the male lead in this role because he is someone who is putting himself aside to be there for this amazing woman. Right away, you might think that two people meeting under these circumstances is contrived. But the human probability of the story is very high, and I wonder it this kind of plot doesn't help people to think about the reality of their lives, how we might treat each other and feel about the time that we have had to live. I challenge you to watch this to decide.

    This movie needs more advertising.
