She wasn't fighting a man.

So?

And, I was talking about the condition she found herself in....the decision she had to make at the end.

What decision? To be or not to be? We have that decision at every instant, every day. That's well plumbed ground with not much left to be learned (see Hamlet).

It's just a weird new idea that it's ok to die if you aren't having enough fun.

It's pure hedonism--no one wants to die when they feel happy...

You made the comment about how many women were playing in the super bowl. She was competing against another woman, not another man. And yes, it was her decision to be or not to be. Of course people make that decision every instant, some knowingly, some not. Why can't you get that someone can disagree with her decision, yet still enjoy this movie?

It may be for some people that they enjoy it just for the simple fact that is had excellent acting, that there were many uplifting things in this movie, that she felt she accomplished more than anyone, including herself, ever thought she would, and that was all she needed...for her. Not you, not me or anyone else. There was so much more to this movie than the last 10 minutes drawing all this attention. Honestly, I didn't think he was going to do it. That is how far this movie went to the OTHER SIDE. I was surprised he did it and I still haven't figured out why he did. And we don't know how he felt or what happened to him afterwords.

I don't support assisted suicide, and thank God, no one has asked me to do it. But this was just a movie, a fictional story. You're acting like an agenda exist that simply doesn't.

Careful there. Didn't your mother ever teach you that it's not right to make fun of the less fortunate-- lest you become one of them yourself and you are forced to accept what you put out. The truth is that you can never know what someone in Maggie's state would be feeling unless it happens to you.
