I have only told my immediate family about the controversy because I feel they would be deeply offended, but I don't want to press my feelings on to other unsuspecting individuals who are going to enjoy the film. Who knows, maybe this will provoke some stimulating conversation outside of the disabled community.
I wonder what Christopher Reed would have said about this film.

I haven't seen the movie yet, River, but I know that it has raised major
issues with the advocate group "Not Dead Yet" crowd in Chicago. They have
demonstrated several times passing out literature to those attending including
national movie critics.
As consumers, we see movies of death and torture, as well as dangerous
stunts. I sincerely hope that we don't consider those actions to standard in our
civil life.
Same could be said about the movie as I don't wish to reveal the end of it
for those who may not have seen it yet.
Best Wishes

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? >>
