If You Knew You Were Dying, Could You Still Look On The Bright Side Of Life?

Sudden events can turn our lives around and put us in a position where we don’t know what to do and how we’re going to get on from that point. A sudden event can force us to ask ourselves questions about what we did with our lives if we made a difference if we achieved our goals if we fulfilled our dreams. In these questions, we find ourselves stressed and tense, but we should look at the positive signs and events that take place during these hard times. Will Reiser wrote 50/50, that is loosely based on his fight with cancer, will show you just how candid and fun life can still be despite the pain and sufferings.

Questioning life choices

Looking on the bright side of life

The movie is a beautiful mix of comedy and drama. It shows the life of a person going through a tough time yet dealing with it head on and having fun with life. Seth Rogen has once again shown his class by playing the funny, light-headed, weed smoking, chill free personality. Gordon Joseph Levitt also shows his immense talent as a variable actor that can play different types of roles. The storyline is almost perfect and the actors play their part brilliantly.

The movie has been hailed by critics for the way it deals with such an issue and still informs people about the terminal illness. Lessons that can appeal to the audiences are to deal any problem with a smile and a positive attitude because problems come to test our ability of patience and virtue.
