to be or not to be

When I watched this movie, I thought of my mother a long time ago. She told me that when I was too old and couldn't move, don't insist on the rescue and let her go. She said that it is better to go to me than to lie on the bed without dignity and wait to die. I am very disdainful to say that if I don't, I will never die. It's better to die than to live. Thinking about it now is really ignorant, although I still think so now.

But in fact, everyone and every family are struggling and painful when faced with such a choice. I vaguely remember that my mother had the surgery and my dad struggled so much that he didn't make the initial decision. Instead, I insisted on the surgery. Maybe everyone's starting point is different. Lose me. Mom is the worst result for me, my dad is the most unbearable blow, and my mom left unknowingly the unfilial descendants and bad old men she had served for half her life

Everyone has the right to decide their own life and death. For example, my mother doesn't want to be a burden to her children. I choose to go in style. I choose not to fight.

I didn't understand why I couldn't choose to die if I wanted to die. At least some people can cut their own lives, but as the movie says, everyone has the right to choose to die with self-respect and grace. The most comfortable way to leave is to do well. Are you ready to let go of everything and die peacefully and painlessly?

At the end of the film, the doctor still did not change the status quo. Although he brought hope to some people, he greatly promoted the legality of euthanasia, but sometimes he tried his best to achieve the desired results. But this is the reality. Do not try to repay or even try to achieve social progress in the end

    HBO's mini TV series is almost perfect, and its technique is very simple. The director also gave up technical and tactical tricks. He put all his effort into portraying characters and popularizing news events. Mr. Al Pacino’s performance will definitely drive you crazy!

    Except for this person, there seems to be no highlight in this film, especially after watching a biopic after watching a social network.

You Don't Know Jack quotes

  • Dick Thompson: [Jack Kevorkian takes the stand, Thompson is the prosecutor] Can we all presume just for the hell of it that we are really in a courtroom, okay? That there is a judge and a jury and real witnesses?

    Jack Kevorkian: No, I will not presume. I refuse to presume.

    Dick Thompson: Can we presume that this is a real trial here?

    Jack Kevorkian: No, we can't. Because there's no law here. Am I wrong?

    Dick Thompson: You're wrong!

    Jack Kevorkian: Prove it. Cite to me one common law case of assisted suicide. One.

    Dick Thompson: I will ask the questions...

    Jack Kevorkian: Go ahead. I'm listening. We're all waiting.

  • Geoffery Fieger: The court of appeals' ruling just came in and they ruled in our favor. They said that the law was so poorly worded that it could not be upheld.

    Jack Kevorkian: Oh. Well, I'm glad to hear there's still some smart people in power left.

    Geoffery Fieger: That was the good news. They also ruled that there's no constitutional right to commit suicide...

    Jack Kevorkian: I take back what I just said.

    Geoffery Fieger: ...and that aiding in one falls under an old common-law definition of murder.

    Jack Kevorkian: Common law? What the hell is that?
