You Don't Know Jack

Despite the slow-paced introduction to the topic, the movie is still effective in its attempt in conveying the more important subject. It is really a thought provoking movie, as both sides of the argument on the subject of euthanasia seemed legitimate and supported by characters of different background and personality. Jack's support for euthanasia is not only due to his belief, but it is also in large part due to his personality, and it is the charisma of the character that the movement garnered much support in its early period. There is no doubt that the movie is smart and thought-provoking, but the movie also lacks the glamour and juice that makes a movie fun and interesting.

Jack spends his energy doing what he thinks is right, what he thinks can help the public, fearless teachings and even legal obstacles. This is a perfect reflection of personal personality, and Pacino has played Jack's controversial role even more. Perfect; what cannot be ignored is the final verdict, you can criticize the law, but your behavior has defied the law and must be punished by the law, this is a society ruled by law!

We are still striving to live with dignity, and they are already fighting for how to die with dignity. Al Pacino was really an old playboy, and his wrinkled face was no longer the edge of the godfather.

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?
