Proof of love

A few years ago, was released a movie called The Island, in which humans were controlled and dreamed of being chosen to go to a paradise, to the island of the title. Little did they know that they really were cloned beings for the sole purpose of providing spare parts to their original bodies. This is more or less what happens to Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin) to produce a proof of love (debut this weekend).

In drama, a young woman named Kate (Sofia Vassilieva) is diagnosed with leukemia. His mother Sarah (Cameron Diaz), a successful attorney's office refused to take care of crippled daughter, and her father, firefighter Brian (Jason Patric), trying in every way to revert the disease, and when they see all the possibilities stop, are advised by a doctor to make an in vitro fertilization for the child to become a donor. Anna was born and since baby goes to donate blood and bone marrow cells to her older sister. But the clinical picture of Kate does not improve, and the only chance of a possible recovery is donating a kidney. At this point, Anna is a teenager of 11 years and was filled with all this surgical procedure, then decides to have a normal life, loves his sister, but wants control of her body. Search the lawyer Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin) and decided to start a lawsuit against his parents, asking for a "medical emancipation".

Sara is horrified with the lawsuit, and as she was accustomed to winning all cases when pursued advocacy, decides at all costs keep Kate alive. This, in turn, begins to live a poignant romance with Taylor (Thomas Dekker), a hospital patient who also suffers from the same pathology. There is also the brother Jesse (Evan Ellingson), which finds itself increasingly ignored by parents and adds little to the plot.

The performances give a strong tone to the drama, especially the character of Cameron Diaz, just that this actress is often criticized for making bland comedies. Here, she shows extreme emotional depth to make a mother who is devoted entirely to his daughter. One has to notice the small but memorable participation of Joan Cusack, as Judge De Salvo, who moves to have gone through a personal drama. The direction of Nick Cassavetes has abused the use of flashbacks to tell the story of the family, but retains a strong emotional impact, especially for dealing with an ethical dilemma, and leave a question to be answered by the viewer: the decision to Ana is right or wrong ?
