This past Friday I went to watch the movie 50/50. I had already seen it before but I realized I had forgotten most of it. Watching it again made me appreciate it so much more. It depicted the reality of someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. It highlights the mental and physical toll that such diagnosis can bring, but it also shows the importance of not isolating oneself and of not giving up. Adam went through a huge journey that ended up in a happy ending. He was strong but the experience was very stressful. In the end it all worked out but sometimes that is not the case. I have never been through this but this movie helped me understand what needs to be done if I do or if I know someone that gets the news. The movie did a great job at depicting everyone’s part in the situation and what they do wrong or right and how it all affects the person. It also showed how it equally affects those near him like his mother. It emphasized that everyone is going through a hard time and that they should lean on each other for support.  I really liked the movie and hope that it will continue to help people in this situation and serve as a way to learn for those that have loved ones going through this.
