I did not read this response to closely because I have not seen the movie. However, knowing Mr. Eastwood's feelings on the disabled community it does not surprise me that he would rather have a person died than be disabled. I don't recall exactly the circumstances around what happened, but he was pushing for changes in the ADA because his newly renovated hotel was not in compliance. In my opinion he is a pompous uncaring ass that does not deserve any of my money. I will only watch this movie when it comes out on a channel which I have on my television package.

Hi River,I don't think it was just by accident that this twist comes in the last five minutes of the movie. Even if Mr. Eastwood had wanted to make a movie about the 'Right to Die' issue, he should not have had the 'Mercy Killing' right after the accident with no life experiences to help the character make an informed decision. I don't understand why this question hasn't been addressed more in the mainstream media or in the disability community.

disability in such a way. I was going to go see it, but not now. I
don't want to give it away if you want to see it, but am wondering why
the blatant inaccuracies and "death is better than disabled" viewpoint
isn't getting more media coverage. Esp since the National Spinal Cord
Injury Assoc. has come out against it. Maybe I'm late and it's already
been discussed here?
