Anyone who pays money to see a movie about a quadriplegic is only a glutton for punishment.
Well there is nothing wrong with a movie about a quadriplegic. What is wrong is that he is assisted with suicide.
Well, obviously you’ve never seen “Monkey Shines” :P
My twenty four year old daughter loved the book and the movie. She insisted on reading passages of it to me. It’s very well written but I was horrified by the story.
She loved the tragedy of it. We’ve had some interesting conversation because of it.
I wouldn't say that. "The Other Side of the Mountain" is a 1975 movie based on a true story about a young skier who was headed to the Olympics before a ski accident left her paralyzed. The movie shows her adjustment to life after becoming a paraplegic. I only saw the movie once, when it was new, and it left a life-long impression on me. The real person it portrayed died in 2012 at the age of 75.
