50/50

This weekend I watched the movie 50/50. It was in theaters and I wanted to watch it for a long time. It is about a man that has some back pains. He goes to the doctor to discover that he has cancer. The doctors tell him that he only has a 50% chance of living. His girlfriend vows to help him through his battle with cancer. After sometime she starts showing signs that she doesn't care for him anymore. In order to show him that she cares about him, she gives him a dog named Skeletor. Skeletor is an old and boney dog she rescued from the pound. The dog is dying, similar to Adam, the man with cancer. Soon Adam finds out that his girlfriend is cheating on him. Soon after that a man that Adam met in chemotherapy died. These two events cause Adam to almost give up. I won't give away the ending but I really enjoyed this movie. It was very inspiring. It was a lot to do with overcoming adversity I really enjoy stories like this. I have not had to deal with cancer in my life before but it has to be extremely difficult. This movie really stuck out to me and I have been thinking about it a lot because it tells me that I should enjoy the life that I am living.
