 Chapter 5 - The future of medicine and ethical questions
“I guess you could say we’re a little dysfunctional, but everybody loves each other, and we do the best we can.” – Anna
The presence of these young people also brightened the days of the entire cast and crew.
“Making ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ was one of the most amazing, joyous experiences I’ve had,” Cameron Diaz reveals. “It was a very serious movie about a serious subject, but the tone Nick set for the film, the way he is telling the story, is the complete opposite of what you might expect. He never tried to play on those heartstrings or go for the obvious tearjerker moment; what he created instead was something vital and full and immediate. Just when you think it’s about death, you realize it’s really about life. Before we even started the movie, he told me that we would laugh a lot and have a good time.”
Reflecting on her own experience making the film, Abigail Breslin offers, “You know, it’s sometimes hard when you’re doing such hard scenes, crying scenes…you get kind of sad sometimes. But when it’s over, you have to know that you’re just telling a story and you’ll be okay. And everybody on set was so nice and so much fun, it was one of the best times that I’ve ever had on a movie.”
“It’s like anything else,” asserts producer Mark Johnson. “You want to see a story that fascinates you and you want to see who you might be able to identify with, react or respond to in that fascinating story. There is a sense of, ‘If I were in this situation, what would I do?’ And I’m not for one moment saying that I would have done what all of these characters did. It comes down to that notion of ordinary people living through extraordinary events. And I think this particular story speaks to something that’s very important to me. It speaks to family. And there’s something so wonderful about the strength of a family.”
“These kinds of things don’t just happen to people who are ready for it,” offers Nick Cassavetes. “Most of the time, you’re not ready for this sort of thing at all. But as human beings, we must trust in ourselves and in our capability to make the right decisions with the amount of information we have. The future of medicine is going to keep bringing up many ethical and moral questions the further we go. But this is our children’s world and our children’s children’s world, and how we handle it, well, that’s why this story interested me—it’s universal. That’s why I made this film.”
