It is possible that you haven’t heard about the movie ‘Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy’. Some might say that it is already considered to be an old movie since it was released in 2006. Originally it was aired on Lifetime Television starring Sarah Chalke. The movie is based on a true story written by Geralyn Lucas. The novel that the film is based on actually is a memoir of Geralyn Lucas and the main character has the same name as she has. The main plot consists of the fight of Geralyn with breast cancer.
In the beginning the movie presents the young Geralyne from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism and she gets her dream job at the 20/20. After this she is diagnosed having breast cancer. The drama of the movie is that she is still very young, having only 27 years when all this happens. After finding out about the diagnosis she oscillates between having a lumpectomy (a medical procedure used to remove breast cancer) or to have a safer mastectomy (this means the removal of one or both breasts).
After she has consulted with a number of specialists, including her husband she comes to the conclusion that it is best to have the mastectomy. The breast cancer treatment also includes chemotherapy that leads to some problems with his husband, but they manage to resolve their problems and they stay together. In the end we see Geralyn taking care of her child.
This is important because through the movie she was afraid that she won’t be able to, so this is some kind of a happy ending. During her journey from indecision to decision she meets some characters who have been in the same situation as she is and they are able to provide her with some useful advice. The title refers to the fact that the whole story is trying to make a point about powerful and confident women because only they wear red lipstick.
If you wish to watch the movie you can buy it but on the internet there are several possibilities to watch ‘Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy’ online. They are free and you can watch the whole movie. I think that it is worth to see it because it is the story of a woman who didn’t give up and we know that there are many others who are in the same situation. Maybe this movie might help them as well overcome their fears or to convert their fears into power.
The movie wasn’t a blockbuster but it has a better plot than most of the films that were. The most gripping thing about the movie is that it is based on the experience of someone who really was in that situation and I think that we can all learn from it. I advise you to watch ‘Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy’ online if you don’t have any other way to see it, because my personal opinion is that you won’t regret the time spent.
