Believed to be Hidden Message

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2012)

I did not find this movie gut-wrenchingly funny nor terribly sad. However, I did find meaning in this movie that is relating to my life right now. The man was fairly mistreated by the woman, just using him for seemingly unknown reasons, and he developed cancer whilst being mistreated. i.e. she wouldn't have sex with him for a long time even though being in a relationship. I feel like that is a big reason in what causes cancer. Being devalued as a human being is a very big problem, and if not shown on the surface, it is a very critical problem at the deep subconscious level. I'm forced to believe this is why he overcame it...because he counteracted the deep hatred for the woman that hadn't surfaced until he found out about her side hook-up. He learned to hate her for what she hadn't done for him even though he had done so much for her. Of course this is not how cancer starts in every case...however, once again, I am forced to believe it begins because of this...they are, in essence, becoming a cancer, by allowing themselves to be devalued by someone constantly even if they are a beautiful being. My first hand experience comes from me being the devalue-er, if you will. However, do not shame me for this, for I have tried multiple times to get this girl to want to be treated better. She is in love with me and will do everything to impress me, even if it means coming to my house at 11 at night at my will. We had a slight skirmish when I proclaimed that I was not indeed her girlfriend, to her friend, if she acts like a late night booty call. She is a genuinely sweet girl, but she is being devalued because she will not leave me. I want to let her go but I honestly want her to leave me for herself, so she will finally know what's good for her. She had a cancer scare a week ago and is awaiting one final confirmation test to tell her what probably already exists is really there. I write this review because I believe in the message 50/50 brings. It does 'take a pair to beat the odds'. And maybe, as I said before, a devaluing of the person is the instigator for the cancer. I think that a person should never be mistreated, whoever they are, especially this girl, but now I do not know how to continue. I do not love her, as she does me, and she seriously will not leave me no matter how badly I treat her. I will not be forced into loving her, after this display, that is for sure, but some help would be appreciated in continuing the relationship...I am about to try something as she is sitting next to me and I hope it works, for if it does not, I am out of options, and I believe the cancer will take over unless I fake love for her. If I make a grammar mistake or word choice mistake, I don't care, the message stays the same.
Thank you for reading.
