50/50 is a true masterpiece of the art of cinema. It combines a beautiful, heartfelt story, written by Will Reiser, with the brilliand directing of Jonathan Levine and the amazing acting skills of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Usually I'm a hard moview viewer, as I get distracted easily, but this picture held my attention from the very beginning to the very end. Everything in it felt natural and real, no overacting or overdirecting - the beauty of its simplicity is what makes it unique. We've all read or seen sad (fiction) stories about people living with cancer and having their life at risk every day, but this film was different. It didn't have the grand love story or the great revelation about the meaning of life. It was about coping with the truth. And about not giving up even when it's okay to give in. It's about the real relationships between people and how they're influenced by tragic events. But what I liked most about it was that despite the fact that the storyline is following the main character, the impact his illness has on his family and friends wasn't left out of the picture.
This movie made me cry. And it made me understand.
And this is not a film about cancer. And it's not about death either. It's about living. And fear. And courage. And expectations, and love, and support. It's about life at its darkest moments. It's about life with all of its flaws and drawbacks, as wells as its miracles and wonders. It's about looking for happiness and looking forward to the future when there is no future.
50/50 is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen and I would recommend it to anyone. It gave me an absolutely new outlook on the world and the people living in it.
