Hollywood Promotes Murder

Rating: 1/10 (14 February 2005)

Hilary Swank plays a female boxer who is doing extremely well in her career. However, halfway through the movie, she has an accident and becomes a paraplegic. The rest of the movie is spent with Hilary Swank's character asking for her mentor (played by Clint Eastwood) to put her out of her misery because she can no longer live her dreams. She argues that because she can no longer live her dreams, because they are dead to her now, that she has no value in life and there is no point in living. This is a complete devaluation of life and a completely emotion based concept that has no founding in reality. It teaches that when events go sour that you should just give up and die because you are worthless. It is a testament to Hollywood's low value of life that they would promote Euthanasia and the other cowardly concepts in this movie. That they slip it subtly in through a candy coated story only makes it that much more sickening. I do not recommend wasting your money to support this movie to anyone who has any objective moral grounding or concept of self worth.
