Misrepresentation of spinal cord injury - review has spoilers

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 2016)

I urge anyone who has or knows someone who has suffered spinal cord injury to not watch this movie. It is accurate maybe 30 years ago but not today. Though true that spinal cord injury does not have a cure it is NOT a death sentence for everyone and would not have been for a man of WillTraynors injury or income. The one factual thing in the movie was made a joke and that is Clarks boyfriend recommending exercise and rehab. It's not funny I'm worried folks with injuries will see this and relate to his negative attitude and that's unfortunate. It's hard but not impossible or even boring to live with spinal cord injury. And you can have a family the movie doesn't rule this out directly but hints at its impossibilities which is wrong wrong wrong.
