详细剧情
故事根据Rebecca Skloot的纪实文学改编。标题人物Henrietta Lacks是上世纪五十年代一位身患癌症的黑人女性，1951年医学研究者非法从她身上获取了癌细胞，结果却引出了令人震惊的医学突破——不仅改变了许多人的命运，甚至改变了整个医学界。据称当时Henrietta Lacks的细胞被用来创造第一株「不死的」人体干细胞——在接受植入后的一个星期仍然存活。 该剧的主人公是Henrietta Lacks的女儿Deborah Lacks（Oprah Winfrey），她试图理解一个自己从未见过的母亲，研究她与现代医学发展之间的奇特关联。剧情深刻揭露了医学界的傲慢、自大、种族、贫穷等问题，同时深入剖析「最不可能成为朋友的人」如何建立起「最深厚的友谊」。Rose Byrne扮演年轻女记者Rebecca Skloot，她正在调查Henrietta Lacks的故事及其「不死的」细胞。她与Henrietta的女儿、魅力非凡但性格复杂的Deborah建立了亲密友谊。 经过长达十多年的调查研究，Rebecca最终写出了著名的《Henrietta Lacks的不朽人生》（The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks）。这本书出版后立刻登上《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜，并且在榜单上停留了整整四年时间，影响力甚为深远。（cr 天涯小筑）
长篇影评
1 ) 改编不好但演的很好
这部电影是对The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks这本书的具体演绎，我阅读原著的时候头脑中构建的图像就和电影里所呈现的毫无二致。然而电影有两个问题：首先它太戏剧化了，部分情节讲故事的感觉太严重，让人一看就觉得假，一看就觉得出戏。第二个问题是它对原著的改编不合理，有的地方过分忠实原著了，就像删去原著里面所有讨论的内容只留下故事来。这两个问题使得它有点像动态的书籍插图。
然而ILHL的演绎还是非常成功的，虽然看起来导演对视觉语言的把握也是有点刻意、不自然。让我很惊讶的是，我不需要任何线索，看到人物一出场就能知道他是谁，并且这些角色的演绎和我阅读的时候所想象的完全一致。比如HeLa女士，这个演员简直就是从照片里走出来的。还有Deborra，完全把底层黑人妇女演活了，很难想象这是一个非科班出身的脱口秀主持人的表演。只是Oprah的口音有点怪怪的南方风格，或许美国北方黑人也这么说话？
白院士说，ILHL的原著是“女性主义视角”，但电影更像是少数族裔文化视角。无论如何，本片作为一个非虚构作品的改编，还是相当成功的，虽远达不到经典的水平，也堪称佳作了。
P.S. 白院士说原著既有女性主义视角，也有少数族裔视角。

2 ) 公平？！
I have to say that I was not moved at all. They seem to care about only money and kept going after financial compensations, not justice. Any family without a mother will have problems around it, no matter how the mother died or whether she turned into an immortal cell line or not. So save the pity. I wish the movie could educate more on the medical regulations back then and today. The movie did not detail on the drug tests they did on their mother or sister and should have spent more time on it instead of having Oprah showing off her ability of playing hysteric. These people have very little basic biology/medical knowledge and it can be extremely hard to teach them and make sure they stay objective about science and knowledge. They are after the money. They don't understand medicine or science. That's it.
If no consent was required from patient back then, they cannot sue Johns Hopkins.
If it's just about donating a little cancer tissue for research, I don't think, even today, the patient gets any specific financial compensation for that. It does not matter what your little biopsy turns out to be in 50 years or longer. I don't see a lot of other unhumane drug tests described in the movie. It's all about Oprah's emotions, not history or science.
Oprah's performance is too dramatic. If the movie is about racism, then make it about racism. And that did not seem to be the center of the movie either.
Johns Hopkins did mis-reported the name of the patient in the first place, and called it Helen Lane. (For quite a while during my research career, I thought it was Helen...) They should do something about it. And I feel sorry about it, too.
When HBO first released the movie, I thought they were going to make a very objective documentary instead of this sh*t. Isn't it true that HBO is good at showing good documentaries? What happened to them wasting money on this...
Just want to be fair from the perspective of a medical researcher. Please don't take anything personally.

全世界都应该感谢海拉海瑞塔·拉克斯的不朽人生改拍电影最后一幕是个关于母爱的泪目
传记片，镜头拍的很漂亮，节奏也很好，虽然剧情有点俗套，但还是让人动容
非法取得病人细胞培养，揭示了某段时间医院的黑暗现象。可怜的海拉家长。
作为医药行业从业人员，看这部片子还是很有感触～Oprah简直认不出来，小屋爆发那场太赞。在没有双盲实验没有临床试验志愿者的几十年前，医学伦理与商业利益有更多矛盾存在。最后首个豆瓣第一个评论…yeah!
「When I die, I'm glad I won't have to tell my mother's story, everything that's happened, 'cause you've been watching it all. There won't be any words, just a lot of hugging and crying.」
遗憾的是太短了
这不是一部科普电影，电影中的专业知识甚至不如百度百科。导演想要探究的是真实的海拉。多年过去，海拉细胞系分散在世界各地，但没人去问海拉是谁，更没人像作者一样去了解海拉的家人。海拉的细胞飞向太空，可她的躯体葬在无名的墓地；她在科学意义上获得永生，可她的灵魂永远存留在家人的记忆中。
其实是讲黑人窘迫的困境
奥普拉演技很好，她干什么都挺厉害，没准真要去当总统了。亚裔的女护士说你们的母亲一直都活着，被放在核弹里，被发射到太空中，这样的描述有一种幽冥的美感，很黑镜。此外海拉这个名字竟然是所有者的缩写，之前一直以为出处是北欧死神，以这个细胞如今的各种影响来看，也是很贴合了。
奥普拉的演绎毁了整个故事，这里面所有人的人都表现得如此真实，但是奥普拉就……常人应该很难无法理解这样的人生吧……甚至是写出这个故事女记者。
奥普拉演的不错，that's it。
The first breath in the morning and the last prayer at night. Nobody loves you more than Jesus. 越看奥普拉越像容嬷嬷啊...想念Cynthia.
从故事上来讲，是很标准的商业片的流程：在一个极端的环境／发现一个爆炸性的问题→寻求帮助的弱者+脾气古怪的合作者→探索过程中起初有突破，后来进入瓶颈期，争吵 猜疑 → 沉淀后理解 和好，结成稳定关系→完成具体活动
奥普拉居然演的还挺好
没有科普+歧视真可怕
看到海拉细胞想了解下…这个不是纪录片。黑人问号。太无知了，看着难受。
6.5分。故事本身还不错，有关这块永生的细胞的故事很久前就听过了，但背后的这个人的事儿的确没怎么关注过。但这片子拍得有点太过乏味了，纪录片的味道有点太浓了，看得有点尴尬啊~~~奥普拉的表演倒真是不错。
对作者和海拉女儿的争吵感到厌烦，这么低智商情商的细节请不要放到台面上来，找争议也不是这么找的，徒然让人感觉烦心。
看完了自己去百度了一下海瑞塔拉克斯细胞 这电影倒不像传记没有过多歌颂她的贡献 而是通过其女儿从海拉本身的生活开始回忆 很真实
不错
