Clint still hates the disabled

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2005)

This film leaves out many important facts about disability: 1. It is a the law that a person on a ventilator can ask the staff to give them sedatives and pull the vent. The courts have upheld this. There was no reason Clint had to sneak in himself and give her a stimulant.
2. She should have not received such poor care. Her deterioration is not standard and only due to incredibly bad service of the fictional facility in this film.
3. Clint Eastwood went in front of congress trying to weaken the Americans with Disabilities Act in 2000. He did so in revenge for being sued under CA law (not ADA law) for failures of accessibility of one of his resorts. Regardless of his being in the right or wrong in that case he decided to take his suffering to congress. Congress told him to go home and this film only proves his continued hatred of the disabled.
4. I am disabled myself: I understand suicidal thoughts and pain but I stay alive because people love me and want me to do so. Everyday it gets easier to live. But everyday 90% of the places I go are not handicap accessible. Maybe if Clint Eastwood had a handicap himself or knew physical pain for real he would have rethought this movie.
