No, the movie is telling us that Eastwood knowingly trades his own salvation for ending the girl's suffering.

You are living in a world of unreality - Eastwood told us no such thing - he played a FICTIONAL character.

But your words illustrate it all. Do you think what you are watching is real? Are you so weak willed you assume others are as well and will be converted by this movie to being pro-Euthanasia?

Clint is a good artist and he is a good American. His art has enriched the medium while entertaining his audiences.

"Eastwood told us no such thing [trading salvation] - he played a FICTIONAL character."

"FICTIONAL characters" don't detract from the message, do they?

"Do you think what you are watching is real? Are you so weak willed you assume others are as well and will be converted by this movie to being pro-Euthanasia?"

I suppose you believe Hollywood is all about "art" and "entertainment"...without an agenda?

MEMO: The tooth-fairy is NOT real.

Are you so naive as to think art does not have an impact on society?

Have you ever read Marshall Mcluhan? -- "We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us."

"Unforgiven" was a brilliant film. "MDB" is garbage; I fear Eastwood is senile.
