It's a movie. It's not an actual murder (which I believe euthanasia is, for all the FReeper busybodies). Saying one's against this movie for that is like the libs who think "feeling" something about an issue is equivalent to actually doing something about it. Same thing here.

See it, don't see it, no one else cares. 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?

Hummm...I wonder haw many people who will read this and say "yah, you uptight busybodies need to get a life" were so level headed when it came to discussing Fahrenheit 911?

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.

These people hate movies. Heck, they don't even go to the movies or rent them. They just listen to Michael Medved, and scream bloody murder, when he tells them to. He hates movies too, but at least he watches them, before condemning them. But you're being much too subtle for them.

The prune-face crowd here can't stand to even hear about something they don't agree with.

I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for the sanity.
