Spoiler!!

That was a great scene. Even when Griffin didn't let Phoenix see it after he painted that on, I was like, what a memorable scene! But yes, eventually Phoenix's ovaries cancer kicks in, and she ends up going to the hospital, and in the one scene, she has an intravenous cord hooked to her right hand. Those things hurt though, I surely wouldn't want to get one if I had cancer. In one scene, it shows where Phoenix is cleaning out Griffin's apartment, and she finds these books about deaths, terminal illness, and she flips the one book open, and I think the texting said something like "choices in the end", and gets mad at Griffin for thinking that he's a freak, and they both get into a bad ordeal in the street, where Phoenix confesses about having ovary cancer, and Griffin tells her he has lesions in his heart, telling her those books were for him, then they get quite attached to each other. But the Christmas tree scene near the end was a delight. I remember in one scene, Griffin and Phoenix are walking on the street, and Phoenix gets into a fight with a woman with a little boy, and loses it, as Griffin comforts her. It's a really great movie, I love every second of it. I'm a huge Amanda Peet fan as well, and her role was just memorable, and very well done.

Believe me, when I saw this movie, I was in tears big time. It was just a sad but beautiful love story. Cancer is a bad terminal illness to get though. Not that I've had it, but I've lost some people due to it...
