''Now Is Good'' is a 2012 British teen drama film directed by Ol Parker. Based on the 2007 novel ''Before I Die'' by Jenny Downham, it was adapted by Parker who had recently written the screenplay for ''The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel''. The film, which stars Dakota Fanning, Jeremy Irvine and Paddy Considine, centres on Tessa, a girl who is dying of leukaemia and tries to enjoy her remaining life as much as she possibly can. The first trailer for the film was released on 5 March 2012.〔 ==Plot== Tessa (Dakota Fanning) is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Despite her four-year devotion to chemotherapy, she has discovered that she is going to die and comes up with a list of things she wants to do before she dies, including some risky behaviors that she deems necessary to have "lived". Her friend Zoey is excited and supportive of the outrageous bucket list until an unplanned pregnancy test comes up positive. Tessa's parents are separated() and have very different views on her desire to experience the dangerous side of life before she dies. Her mother (Olivia Williams) is loving and joking about the situation and seems supportive whereas her father (Paddy Considine) is timid and just wants to spend time with his daughter. Tessa's dad is resistant to Tessa's behavior from the start but realizes he has little influence and can only enjoy the time they have left. Her father's main mechanism for coping is denial. She mentions that he spends hours on the computer looking up possible treatments for her even after the doctors have told her that the cancer has consumed her body. Tessa's brother, Cal (Edgar Canham), is a brutally honest individual who expresses varying feelings throughout the novel, ranging from lack of care to jealousy to sadness. In the beginning of the film, Cal says to his sister "I'm gonna miss you" during a joking situation. One of Tessa's last wishes is to find love, which she thinks she has achieved with her neighbour Adam (Jeremy Irvine). Adam is shy, and his main priority is taking care of his sickly mother since his father's death. The film follows Tessa's last few months of life and explores her relationships with her loved ones and personal feelings about being trapped in a failing body. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Now Is Good」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
