But judge it as a movie, not as a pro-euthanasia screed, because if it were that there would be no drama in the decision--if he's doing something the movie's point of view says is a good, right thing, why is it shown as a dramatic decision?

HUH??? I'm just hoping you didn't do Film Studies in college. In any case, check out Propaganda in Nazi Germany for a thoughtful commentary on the role of films, some of them technically brilliant (and DRAMATIC) in shaping the consciousness of the Third Reich.

"I'm just hoping you didn't do Film Studies in college."

I didn't. I've just shot, edited, and sound mixed film and video for my own independent films and short subjects and had my film writings published. You go off and take courses, I actually make films.

Nice of you to completely dodge my point and instead make a silly uninformed wisecrack with zero discussion of the point I made, thus proving my point about your sort.
