There is also a need for superstructures here

In fact, after watching this film, my heart is really uncomfortable.
There are actually quite a few euthanasia-themed movies, but this is a very direct and not sloppy movie. Jack's initial rationalization of euthanasia, perhaps after the fact that his mother died, gradually became solid as he gradually came out of the lost state.
At this point, he can't understand a lot of those who oppose him, just as we look at the whole thing from his point of view, his perspective, his life, and we're stuck in his wonderful world.
I, too, sympathize with him, feel indignant for his loneliness, and happy for every victory he has in his lawsuits. After knowing the solemn words of the Supreme Court judge at the end, I realized that Jack really needs to go to jail. Such cases also need to disappear.

In the face of those who are in pain, those who seek death not because of emotions and impulses, but because of a powerless illness, this film deeply understands and apologizes to them. Everyone has the right to decide their own life and death, and those who love them will definitely support them when they understand them. There is nothing wrong with this view, but what will the increase in the number of euthanasia in a state or a country bring to the governor or the president? ? The high mortality rate of diseases will make people question medical science, the premise of disease caused by social pressure, environmental pollution, etc., and finally the threat to the high-level is very deadly, so the preservation of the legal system is to protect the interests of this class , to a certain extent, it is impossible to sympathize with things that are related to it, and euthanasia is the most typical. Evaluating the negative effects of a management system or administrator with hospital or social disease deaths is far less than euthanasia!

In addition, the influence of religion is also very important. Many religions despise self-determination. It is a form of blasphemy and cannot be tolerated. Believers under the rule of a doctrine are impossible and unwilling to think about the meaning of euthanasia. They may not be able to say any reason to bring down the other party. Just like the female protester in the film, she asked Jack's rhetorical question. He was speechless, but such embarrassment would not change, because threatening his own beliefs was equivalent to threatening the sense of self-existence, which was quite terrifying.

In general, whether euthanasia is right or not, in the current era, in different countries or regions, there is no absolute right or wrong. On the contrary, the supremacy of the law is absolute, there is no doubt about this, and this point Not sarcastic!

Our life requires courage. For Jack, he is just a part of all living beings, and his story is just a wave on the vast ocean. We admire his courage, and we like such a stubborn, kind, and straightforward old man. However, the current process of social replacement has only reached this point, and relative to many things, there is still a need for a superstructure here.

    "Because it's my name, because I can't have another in my life. How may I live without my name? I've given you my soul." People have the right to live with dignity, and they have the right to choose to die with dignity

    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 tears
