This movie did make me feel for the woman because of her illness and for the cancer it made me feel like she has hope... of dieing.
Her illness is that she is 100% materialistic and shallow and has no idea of how to live a happy life and even the fact that she is dieing, which she finds out as the movie begins, cannot seem to give her any willpower to think on how to really find some real substance to what life she has left.
Not only does she seem to live in a void of meaning but the entire movie and the way the effects are used seem to emphasize emotions to trivialities. One is left with the impression that the people behind the production believe that the substance of life is in buying new curtains.
Even though events take different turns towards the end, she still doesn't learn anything new and the movie remains with the same shallow thought that it started out with: spend more, take risks and you'll be happier.
To be fare, if buying stuff is the best thing in life you can imagine then this movie probably isn't all bad for you.
