Just like IRL there's not always a happily ever after!

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2019)

Many people are unfairly rating this movie very low based on being their moral pomposity. This movie doesn't speak for every paraplegic or disabled person, but guess what just like in real life some disabled individuals, both physically and mentally, as well as some seemingly able bodied decide that their quality of life or rather lack of is not the way they want to continue living. It is their individual choice! We don't get to decide.
Most of those same reviews also note that he's some selfish billionaire that wants to die because he doesn't have everything he wants. How shallow. It implies if he'd been a working class Joe he'd of been more accepting of his disability, not necessarily! My impression is that he would have given up the riches to be able bodied again. As an able bodied person I don't dare judge his decision to decide his own quality of life given his severe physical disability. I would hope quadraplegics understand that not all people are willing to "adapt and overcome"! I have told my husband I would not want to live in a vegetative state. It's not a quality of life I envision for myself, but I respect the families that maintain their loved ones in that state. It's an individual choice and we need to respect that. This movie isn't advocating suicide for the disabled but rather advocating individual choice which I believe is an inherit right!
