      the dignity of death

      In fact, I didn't read this film from the beginning to the end, and it was not included in Sina Movies. I tried to add it, but I don't know if it could pass the so-called review. This film is mainly about "euthanasia", which has been controversial so far, and whether it can be legalized.
       
      When it comes to real death, there is always some scruples. I am in favor of euthanasia. Of course, there must be procedures, norms, and limits. Nor can it be said that everyone can do so if they...

      why it is great

      It should be because of Al Pacino that I made this film. I have to say that his performance is excellent, and it portrays Dr. Jack Kevorkian's perseverance and toughness very well.

      Jack Kevorkian, born in 1928, American pathologist, death rights advocate, painter, composer, and instrumentalist, helped euthanize at least 130 patients. Famous saying: Dying is not a crime. Beginning in 1999, serving a prison sentence to 2007 for second-degree murder.

      As far as the plot is...

      Euthanasia Judicial and Religious Forces

      Watching this film, in addition to admiring the wonderful performance of the old opera bones. All I think about is how to define euthanasia; the definition of murder, suicide, and assisted suicide by American judiciary, and the influence of religious forces on American society.
      Let’s first discuss how to define euthanasia.
      The current euthanasia law in the Netherlands, the Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide (Review Procedure) Act, stipulates that "the patient who...

      "Doctor Death" Facing Death


      A biopic about Dr. Jack Kovakian, who specializes in euthanizing patients in the United States, I originally went to star in Al Pacino, but the subject matter is too typical, I couldn't help but write it down.

      The Master said: If you don't know life, how can you know death?
      It can be seen that life and death are two equal things in the eyes of Confucius. However, why do many people turn pale when they talk about the death of others, as if they have encountered a black hole,...

      Who can give me a "euthanasia" when I'm sick and dying?

      People can never choose whether to be born or not, can't they have the right to die? It is said that life comes from freedom, but sometimes we find that people do not belong to themselves from birth to death. We have always believed that "life" and "death" are opposites. Death always reminds people of darkness, coldness, and fear, but death is a part of life. Death is the last state of life. If a person respects him His life should also be respected in his death. When a person spends his life...

      More than a decade ago, the American public began to discuss the legality of euthanasia, and the Chinese still cannot prove that they are not mentally ill. . The same planet, separated by many dimensions. . . Done, 23 February 2013. Listening to it N times, movie review, April 19, 2013. Isn't Doc-Assisted Sui very good, why must it be injected manually?...

      We can't control our birth (start)~~ but sometimes we can choose our own death (end)! ! Why die with pain and numbness when you can die with...

      We have just started a wave of public opinion against indifference, but the other side is already fighting over whether people have the right to choose their own dignified death. Pacino never disappoints when he plays a character with a paranoid character, but after all, he is in his early 70s, and I don't know how many more characters he can bring us. In addition, when he ended Janet's life, the sentence "give my love to margo" almost broke the...

      Since God has given us the will to choose freely, we have the right to choose how we die. Refuse to legalize euthanasia, although it guarantees everyone's safety, it also deprives some people of their right to die. I don't understand whether those fierce opponents have ever imagined how important euthanasia is to me when one day I am terminally ill and want to die but can't! So when you scold others, think about...

      Al Pacino's acting skills, a very good biopic. As for the topic, I still think that opening up "doctors can give injections to patients" really goes a little...

    Evaluation action

    In the whole movie, the most memorable thing is not Kovokian’s persistence, nor the calmness and calmness of the dead, but the relationship between Kovokian and the people around him. He and the patient are pure. The relationship between caring and being cared; with friends and partners is a relationship of facilitating, understanding and helping. In fact, in the script, it is this "relationship" that impresses Barry Levinson the most.
