Movie Response to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

What do you think are friends for? If one day your best friends and you begin to estrange from each other because they want or have to be independent and settle into a new life, how would you feel and what would you do ? Personally, I believe in eternity and I hope there can be something to hold my friends and me tight as well as our sisterhood. In the movie the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, there is such a pair of pants that hold the sisterhood of the four heroines.
In the movie, four girls are close friends and share everything together. By some miracles, they found a pants that suits all of them perfectly. They took it on faith that it had come into their lives for a reason. It kept them company through times of love, times of loss and those moments where they feel their life just lift up. However, when it came to times to start a new life, some of them made it easy to fit it in and make new friends, whereas Carmen-one of the four heroines- lost herself without them. Carmen believed that sisterhood could survive anything. They used to believe in the pants to give them magic, but at that time, they have to learn how to become themselves without losing each other. At the end of the story, the pants got lost, but it brought the four of them together again. Maybe it got lost on purpose. Who knows?
What I liked most about the movie is the sisterhood they have shown. It is what I have longed for. It is a advantage to have someone who can trust you and you can trust back. When you are not feeling right, there is somewhere you can go and someone to turn to. It is a great comfort to have such person in your life when the whole society is becoming more and more indifferent to relationships.
It is a wonderful movie. You can have a try if you have time. ☺
