Sunday I decided to watch the movie "All Things Fall Apart". My interest in the movie began when I saw a picture of 50 Cent after losing 50 or more pounds. The storyline also caught my attention because I love football. Anyone who knows me well knows I LOVE 50 CENT. While I was scrolling through Netflix, I came across the movie. My first impressions of the movie were not enough football, too much talking, and 50 Cent should never be allowed to wear dreads AGAIN....NOT EVER!!! It seriously detracted from the drool factor. See what I mean??
Anyway, back to the movie....he ends up collapsing in the locker room after a game. They take him to the hospital and he is diagnosed with cancer. Like every good movie, they don't really let you know what to expect. I don't like surprises, even in movies. This is the main reason I don't like scary movies. They flash from drooly drooly buff to this....
I felt complete despair instantly. I started crying like a baby. The sudden image on my screen was unbelievable. The transformation from buff athlete to cancer fighter was startling. The movie goes on showing the family dealing with this burden. I cannot imagine having to witness a loved one go through this. It almost makes you question life. I have know people that have fought cancer and people who have supported cancer fighter. I have not know the loss caused my cancer. This story is fiction or loosely based on reality. But to someone this is their reality. I could not keep watching the movie. I had to turn it off. I am thankful that I haven't had to experience this personally. I pray I never will.
