When the tragedy happens, you are always there to give good advice, you know better, it will be all fine in the end. Unwanted pregnancy? Of course, you will manage, a child is such a blessing, even though good pieces of advice tend to disappear at 3 am. when you're alone with a crying alarm clock. Disability? You will deal with it, there are institutions which will help you, social services that will teach you how to live, avoiding depression and euthanasia. Cancer? You cannot give up, you have people to live for. 
Good motivational pieces of advice are usually from those who had never experienced the trauma you're dealing with. They are from those who will abandon you sooner or later in their busy world of loud opinions and quiet actions. Having a child is a decision for a lifetime. Not having a child is also something which will stay with you for ever. What would you do if you were pregnant with a child diagnosed with a Down syndrome and a serious heart disease? Would you be brave and give it a go, taking into account your religion, upbringing or hopeful wishes for the future? Would you have an abortion? Would you be strong enough to agree on the life burdened by someone's disability? A very important film about the complexity of making a decision. Don't judge. Such a dilemma might at some point concern you. 24 Weeks

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
