Good but it could have been better

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2013)

First of all let me say that I liked this movie. The actors did a great job. Eastwood and Swank were great obviously but sometime Freeman made me forget he wasn't the main character. Up until the 'broken neck' moment it was good and then it just stayed good. Eastwood had the chance to tell a story that could have inspired people for greatness and instead just left them feel depressed. Some people may say that's the way life is. Sometimes people try very hard but fail to achieve their dreams and just have a glimpse at victory before being thrown in hell. Well it may be like that sometimes but this was a movie and not real life although I do not believe Maggie was hopeless even in her condition. I believe not matter what the circumstances living is better than dying. If you live you will find the way to be happy again. The ending gave the wrong message to the audience and I do not accept it. Some people may think it's cool or realistic or whatever that Maggie could only accomplish so much and that asked to die, but it's not.
