Really! As they say, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make hime drink!" I've laid out the argument that there's more to this film than a simple touching story. You don't want to dig any deeper than the surface. Why? You're not interested? Afraid? You're comfortable with the status quo? We have lots of elephants in the living room, and Hollywood is one of them.

No, I don't believe there is anything more to it. I explained why I believe assisted suicide was a needed plot element. I do not believe that just because something I disagree with is in a movie, it is propaganda. You might have a point if the movie centered on the issue, but it doesn't. Or if the director was a repeat offender, but Clint does little besides expertly direct movies. What is the message of his other films? You would have better luck convincing me that The Aviator was pro-mental illness because it showed Howard Hughes acheiving with several.
