He understands life so he is obsessed with death

Unlike "Deep Sea Sleep", "Love You Forever" and "Barbarian Invasion", this film is more direct-do people have a "right to death"? There is no concealment, after the twists and turns of the previous film, the film is finally straight to the point.
It seems necessary to clarify a few points:
Dr. Jack Kevorkian is the so-called "fighter" for his own reasons. In the film Susan Sarandon's character, when the two say goodbye before their death, the doctor tells the secret of his heart. The brushwork here is a very typical Hollywood style. The emotional truth of a person is a necessary reason to support his actions, and this reason is irresistible (the spoiler will stop at the end)-the audience and public opinion need it. , Even myself. If it hadn't been adapted from the biography of Dr. Kevorkian, it would have been dramatic.
In addition, there are deviations in the introduction of some phrases that are popular on the Internet. Dr. Kevorkian was imprisoned for 8 years at an advanced age not because he had previously assisted more than 130 patients in suicide, but because he deliberately challenged American laws. In the case where he was finally sentenced, Dr. Kevorkian personally injected the patient with sleeping pills and waited for the patient to lose consciousness before directly injecting the lethal drug. Therefore, this behavior was classified as "euthanasia." Finished injecting drugs or released poisonous gas by himself, so those cases were classified as "suicide". The difference lies in the law itself, and the boundary between love and law was pointed out by the final statement of the female judge in charge.
It must be said that Dr. Kevorkian is a radical legislator, but the brilliance of this film is not to describe a "fighter", but to let us see the loneliness of this forerunner-fame and wealth are worthless in the face of death, he is a real Doctor, he understands life and is obsessed with death.

    There are always some things we can't do, such as Jack who was born at the wrong time and ended up in prison, such as Pacino is really old.. And actively euthanize or live well, you can choose.

    The book is great. In the end, the judge's sentence was very precise.
