Doyle; I guess people don't quite see paralysis in the way I see it. I dislike the film maker director as one of a few Pop Culture figures to emerge during the 80s and 90s that I think bastardized U.S. culture. Since this director has no sense of disability rights his view of paralysis is very far indeed from my own, and he is incapable of raising questions about the cognition issues that might be considered. I'd have no trouble sitting through the movie because I know people who deal with those issues and what they did during the sixties and early seventies to start the disability rights movement. The sense that cognition is like how the movie maker casts the experience belies how little the movie maker art market beneficiary understands how human beings connect or think. At any rate I'd like to see more capable disabled thinkers be showed cased and let that be the standard to judge such movies. Thanks, Doyle Saylor
