the ending happened but I don't think anyone can say it was a pro eutanasia film......it was telling a story as written

Yes - it was written as a pro-euthanasia film. Why deny it? Pro-euthies like it for that reason. You really think if the ending was different (Eastwood doesn't kill her and helps her see a reason for living), Hollywood would have embraced it? If so, I got a building in Oklahoma City to sell you...

I think it was embraced by the Academy because it has an undeniable emotional punch. For the record I thought it was a simple minded melodrama that manipulates the audience in every way possible.

I wouldn't speculate on that since it didn't happen, and Clint has said he doesn't glorify it.....you may think Hollywood does but I don't think Clint does....did you see Schindler's List......do you think it glorified killing Jews just cause the director or producer chose the film, no, but becuase the WHOLE story was compelling......I don't say you have to like the end, but speculating on Clint's motives is just that.....speculating ......
