Little Brother

I watched this korean movie Little Brother on scv last sat. its a very touching movie about this boy and his elder brother. one day they discovered that the elder brother had a brain tumour, so he went for an operation to have his tumour removed. this little brother naturally feels neglected cos his parents spend most of their time taking care of his sick brother. once, he was so angry with his brother that he took his brother's towel to wipe his body. he didnt expect this to land his brother in hospital once again. from then on, he became less playful and even did many things to try to save his brother. soon, his brother had to undergo another operation cos the cancer cells are spreading again. i cried the most at this scene where they were outside the operation theatre and his bro begged his parents to bring him home, because he doesnt want to go through the operation once again cos it hurts alot. moreover, even if the operation saved his life, he would become blind. in the end he survived, but lost his eyesight. its touching to see the once playful boy holding on to his brother's hand as they walked, and even helping his brother button up his coat while they were out playing in the snow. the saddest part of all is that this is actually a true story. this boy have undergone 4 major operations and is still somewhere out there, fighting cancer.

After watching this movie, i was thinking those 'problems' that i'm facing is really nothing compared to the sufferings of this boy and many other sick children out there. so all of us should learn to complain less and cherish our life more.
