The movie"money not enough"

I watched a singapore movie yesterday,named"money not enough".That is quite a touching and educational movie,i almost cry out watching the touching scene...
The story starts with the introduction of a big family of an old mother and three married sons.The oldest son is the least educated,thus,he does not have much approach in his life,but he has three little girls in his happy family.The old mother stay with him.
The second son and the youngest are both succesful in their lives.The second son own a big bungalo together with his selfish wife and a modern and indulged daughter,whereas the youngest's work is selling a Taiwan-brand nutritional supplement.He has a loyal wife but he never appreciate her.The two sons earn thousands of dollar each week but they never share with their mother that raised them and feed them and sacrificed everything just to make sure her children can grow up healthily,a mother that has never had a good life even her child is successful.
The big brother then learned to sell the nutritional supplement as what his little brother do,but he does not has the money to start his career.He can,finally,get a job of a "manager" by borrowing the saving from his mother.Even though he is not very educated,and he can't even read or speak english,but he still can make it in his new career.Slowly,he earn a car,new tv,and can finally take his mother to watch a car race that his mother wanted for a long time.
However,these do not last very long,not long enough for him to feel contented.Some disasters came striking them when a news reveal that some people who ate that nutritional supplement went into hospital because of food poisoning.The eldest brother and the youngest one,lost their trust and lost their career.Yet,they lost all their money because they used it to buy too much products.The youngest now do not have money to pay his debts.The second brother doesn't seems to be any better too.Due to some circumstances,he lost all his investment and he has to sell all his properties.His wife and his daughter have to work as singers to earn their living.
What a poor women.The mother now has to take out all her saving to help her sons,that never appreciated it.Finally,her sons are now living a simple life.They start to abandone their mother with the excuse of busyness.The mother has to change her place everyweek to her sons' house.
Later,the idea of sending her to old folks house evoked because she is having a severe Alzheimer's disease.However,this ends up with her emotional outburst and went into coma.
Even though they have a little bit of regret,just a bit,they still argue about the medical expenses of their mother in the ICU of a private medical centre.Suddenly,their mother is facing danger when her blood pressure suddenly drop drastically and need the blood of O-.In the same time,the daughter of the second brother had an accident and came to the same medical centre.She lost a lot of blood and need O- blood.However,there are only two packets of the blood in the medical centre.What to do?They can only save one person.The eldest and the youngest want to save their mother but the second and his wife want to save their daughter.A very inhuman dialogue came out of the second's wife"Its no use to safe mother!She's so old and she's already dying!My daughter is different!She's still young and has lots of future!"
While they were fighting for the blood,their mother raise a bit of conscious and heard what's happening.No doubt this is heartbreaking to her.Of course!What would you feel when everyone of your closest family think you are burdening and useless!Under semi conscious mind,she used her last breath and energy to pull off her breathing tube to end her life,to save her grandaughter!For the sake of her sons!
How do you think of this story?Is it touching?Is it frustrating and piss you off to read about those damn brothers?If you do,please love your parents in whatever you can from now,to forever...
