Training for live

Rating: 8/10 (27 February 2005)

What a genius Film, once again made by Clint Eastwood.
I wonder, why the press in my country draws comparisons between this movie and the Euthanasia Propaganda of Goebels.
If anyone have seen "One flew over the cuckoos nest", they would understand, why I am so confused about these stupid kind of comparisons.
SPOILER ALERT!
To show an old man, who lost anything he can loose, and for once want to do anything about keeping a promise he made, has nothing to do with favor euthanisia, like the Nazis did abuse for their awful programms. Clint Eastwood shows us in a moving story, that the value of live is a gift, and that this gift also includes own will. Own will allows every human being to decide, which way to go.
Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) wishes do die and her purpose is clear. To keep a dream alive without being destroyed by endless suffering is her own will, and Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) does fulfill this own will with respect in the manner of live.
A great movie!
