If I Stay ♥

I would like to tell you about a film. „If I stay” is an American drama. The main roles are played by  Chloë Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos, Jamie Blackley and Joshua Leonard. „If I stay” was based on the book of the same title author Gayle Forman. The film is about love, family, as well as about the maturation. The drama tells the story of finding your place in the world and making difficult decisions. It also shows different facets of life.

Imagine that you have a loving family and you live life to the fullest. You look forward to a decision regarding admission to school of music and art – Julliard. And suddenly all life ceases to make sense. But after the run.

Mia Hall (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her family are getting ready to go on with their normal day activities when it is announced on the radio that school has been cancelled. Mia's dad Denny (Joshua Leonard) is a teacher and as a result of the snow day does not have to go to work. Mia's mom Kat (Mireille Enos), a travel agent, decides to call in sick and along with her family visit Mia's grandparents who live on a farm. It is also revealed that Mia is dating an older, popular up-and-coming rock-star named Adam Wilde (Jamie Blackley). The story flashes back to Mia's early life with a rocker dad and an inexperienced mom; one day they take Mia to a music class where Mia decides that she wants to start playing the cello. After her parents see that Mia is passionate about the cello they hire a teacher to help her play. A few years later, Adam meets Mia. He falls in love with her. Adam then asks Mia out on a date to a cello concert, where they show mutual affection towards one another. The story flashes back to current time with the family driving to the grandparents' farm when their car collides with an oncoming truck. Mia appears to have an out-of-body experience and sees her body lying on the road while paramedics are trying to help her and her family. Mia tries to ask a paramedic what is happening, but realizes that no one can see or hear her. Mia, now in the hospital, panics as she does not know the current status of any of her family members when they take her in for surgery. A sympathetic nurse (Aisha Hinds) tells Mia that it is up to her whether or not she wants to stay. The story flashes back once again to Mia attending one of Adam's concerts with his band Willamette Stone. Adam's band is steadily gaining more recognition and gets signed to a label, which starts to put a strain on their relationship due to the travel schedule. While at dinner, Mia's Grandpa suggests that she should apply to Juilliard, an idea which she initially rebuffs, but later further researches. She eventually lands an audition in San Francisco. It takes a while for Mia to tell Adam about her audition and when she does he becomes upset and leaves for a week-long gig. In the present day, Mia undergoes surgery. She sees a doctor speaking with her grandparents who are standing outside of a pediatric room where Teddy lays in a coma-like state. Adam comes to the hospital to see Mia, but is not allowed in as he is not an immediate family member. It is then revealed that Mia's mom Kat was pronounced dead on arrival, and her dad Denny died on the operating table. She later finds out that Teddy has died from an  
epidural hematoma. Grandpa talks to Mia, revealing that her father gave up being in a band because he wanted to give her a better life and be a better father. He also, tearfully, gives Mia permission to move on from this life if she wants, which influences Mia to decide that she wants to die so that she can join her family on the other side. The story flashes back to Mia at her audition for Juilliard, where she plays the best she has ever played. After a reconciliation with Adam, they talk about the huge possibility of her going to Juilliard, which ultimately leads to them breaking up and going their separate ways. After some time, Mia seems stable enough to receive more visitors. Mia is shown symbolically about to let go when she hears the music performed at the cello recital that she attended with Adam. It is revealed that Adam has come to see Mia and that he is playing his iPod for her. He brings with him a letter Mia has received from Juilliard saying that she has been accepted, and lets her know that he will do whatever she wants if she stays. Mia, after flashing back through all the happy moments in her life, opens her eyes and sees Adam as he hovers over her and says, "Mia?"

The main theme of the film is the life that can be both beautiful and joyful, as well as fragile and unpredictable. The entire film is presented an the form of a diary where the narrator is Mia. About this film I can talk a long time. It is impossible to describe everything in words. You want to know what happened after the accident ? Was Mia lived with Adam ? Will they live happily ever after ?

I would recommend ! The best drama I’ve ever seen. I cried for almost the entire movie. 
You have to see !
