LOVE/HATE!!!

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2018)

Oh my goodness out of all the movies I've reviewed , this one is the oddest! I started out loving this movie then ended up hating it... Thinking about the movie now there were Parts I loved and parts that I hated! I'm 44 years old I've been on disability since I was 26 years old! I know what it's like to go through disabilities and chronic pain and different situations to where you want to end your life. At one time it was so bad in my early twenties, I did try to in my life. Thank God I did not succeed at it. Even today times are tough but I have a strong support system! I made a pact with my sisters, brother and my son that I would never try to take the easy way out of here again. And there's no way in hell my family, my mother especially would stand and let me say Mom after 6 months... Let me die! No way in hell that's happening. So I tried to watch this movie from everybody's perspective. And I understand why so many gave it at 10, I understand why so many gave it a one down to zero. I gave it a 5 because I like the movie half and half ! The love and caring that others had for this man was beautiful and yes I agree he was most selfish on his end, At the same time, I understand that is his choice and his right. Do I agree with his choice? NO I DO NOT. To me love conquers all. And I also agree it does send a message out "unintentionally I'm sure" that if you're disabled, or not as you used to be, your life isn't worth living. That is simply NOT TRUE! If that were the case, I would have been gone a long time ago. If you want to make movies like this, send better messages, especially to young viewers. People that are disabled are discriminated against enough. I even have a special needs son who's 22 and there's no way I will ever tell him he's not equal. There's nothing he can't do! Even if he has to do things different then so be it. Love life, live life! So many people wish they could have and could not. Bless all those who are disabled and feel like they don't want to go on at times. You can go on and you should!! Especially when you have a strong love and support system which the man in this film had!
