If I Stay (2014), is the drama movie directed by R.J. Cutler. It is based on the novel by Gayle Forman’s If I Stay for 2009. In the leading role of the film (Mia) is young and beautiful Chloë Grace Moretz. In the film as in real life, she is only 17 years old. Mia has boyfriend Adam who acts the role in Jamie Blackley. Mia and Adam are really different persons, but they have one thing what they both love the whole heart, music. Adam sings in the band and Mia plays a cello incredibly well. Music brought them together.
To sum up, the movie tells about young love, a passion for music, family and friendships, until happens a turning point, the car accident. The main character has to fight for life or death. As usual, this movie is not just waiting if Mia is going to wake up or not and relatives are crying beside her bed. It is much deeper and sensitive. Basically, Mia can choose if she wants to live or not. I think the movie is great done in all regions but especially while in a coma, Mia is outside the physical body, and she goes through her life and wonders if she should stay. After the accident her life wouldn’t be the same, so the decision is anything but easy. Adam is big part of her decision and by all means he is trying to make her stay. At the end of the movie, Adam’s scene next to Mia’s bed and at the same time Mia’s ”spirit” is looking at Adam is one of my favorite part of the movie. I bet many people can’t watch this scene without crying.
The movie is in all truth really touching and it is described so well. I think, young love power and passion for music just make this movie stole my heart. Of course respect to young actors who made the film so realistic. You must absolutely figure out by watching the movie whether if she stays.
The movie is quite new and that is why I want to write about it. I hope everyone who is interested in drama movies and little bit romantic will watch this someday. I can only recommend it.
