The male protagonist accidentally bumped into the mud due to diving, resulting in a high-level amputation. From then on, except that his mouth and soul can move freely, he is not much different from a vegetative person. Under the careful care of his family, the male protagonist lived miserably for 28 years. During this period, he wanted to be euthanized, but was blocked by the law and his family. With the help of his lover, he inhaled a lot of heroin before he got what he wanted.

It is more painful to live than to die: The male protagonist is brilliant, and he can still pick up girls without moving his body, which is admirable. Even if the mind is free, the logic is clear, the heart is more than enough and the limbs are weak in the face of the colorful world, all ambitions and dreams are empty talk.

Others can't understand your pain: The male protagonist's brother hopes that his brother can live well, because of family affection, because the brothers are connected by blood, he can't bear to watch his brother achieve euthanasia. This is the selfishness of the elder brother. In order not to make himself suffer from losing his younger brother, he is willing to watch his younger brother suffer all day long. The court has repeatedly rejected the male protagonist's application for death. It is not how noble the law is. The law is to make people feel that the law is always people-oriented. Sometimes it can not only sentence you to death, but also sentence you not to die. People even give the freedom to commit suicide to the law. deprived.

The film also reminds us, please don't just dive in.

    It took me a week before my eyes finally moistened. Except for ourselves, our lives do not have to be responsible to anyone.

The Sea Inside quotes

  • Julia: Why choose death?

    Ramón Sampedro: Well, I want to die because I feel that a life for me, in this state has no dignity. I understand that other quadriplegics may take offense to my saying there's no dignity in this, but I'm not trying to judge anyone. Who am I to judge those who choose life? So don't judge me or anyone who wants to help me die.

    Julia: You think someone will help?

    Ramón Sampedro: Well, that depends on the powers that be. They'll have to overcome their fear. But hey, it's really no big deal. Death has always been with us and always will be. It catches up with all of us. Everyone. It's part of us. So why are they shocked because I choose to die, as if it were contagious?

    Julia: If this goes to court, they'll ask why you haven't explored all alternatives. Why refuse a wheelchair?

    Ramón Sampedro: Accepting a wheelchair would be like accepting the scraps of the freedom I lost. Think about this: You're sitting there, three feet away. What's three feet? An insignificant distance for any human being. But for me, those three feet that keep me from reaching you, from touching you, are an impossible journey. Just an illusion. A fantasy. That's why I want to die.

  • Julia: Too bad there's no view of the sea.

    Ramón Sampedro: Just as well. This way I see it when I choose.

    Julia: What do you mean?

    Ramón Sampedro: When I'm in the mood, I concentrate and walk I out to the sea. I fly there.
