50/50 (2011). directed by jonathan levine.


cancer is a number's game. it's cruel when young and old lives are being measured by percentages of chance. it's depressing when friends you hang out with today won't necessarily make it tomorrow. one thing for sure, it filters out the people who really love you to those who are not. the movie layers the funny bits without losing sight of the weight cancer brings to its sufferer. it is pain, but if you want to live, then that is exactly what you have to keep doing. 

there are moments in the movie that i like, such as the burning of a painting of gordon-levitt's ex-gf that was split into two screens.
