Humanity, dignity, and power will always be good medicines for the film industry. I don't know whether these medicines can cure the world. At least he has this hope.


Jack is a veteran doctor. He has seen too many patients who are dying and suffering but cannot choose to die, including his own mother. There are too many people living in pain who just want to die happily. I just want to maintain a sense of dignity when I die, but those who can no longer appreciate the quality of life have become contributors to medical institutions and pharmaceutical factories, using their hopeless bodies to maintain them with various instruments and injections. write.

Jack believes that it is the duty of a doctor to help these people who wish to be liberated by death to realize their wishes. The duty of a doctor is to save the dead and heal the wounded, but also to prevent the patient from suffering that should not be endured. Jack overcame all difficulties and dangers to euthanize the patients who had come to ask him for help. His behavior triggered a great discussion in the United States. There were protests and manpower support. He kept going in and out of prison. In the court, Jack played a video of his patients and relatives asking him for euthanasia before his death. After seeing those patients lying peacefully on the bed and saying I love you to their families, he resolutely pulled down the deadly institution , And finally got rid of the painful torture, the jury was crying.

Even so, euthanasia is still the enemy of religious organizations, and it has also become a tool for politicians in elections. With his fewer allies, Jack, who was fighting alone, finally made a cross-border behavior. He personally implemented euthanasia for the patient (before he helped the patient arrange it, and the patient only needs to move the agency to commit suicide. ), and the entire euthanasia process was broadcast live on national television. This action was classified as murder. The 70-year-old Jack was imprisoned for 8.5 years.
Jack's actor, Al Pacino, is an old drama. Is Al already so old? I'm 70 years old. Time makes people grow old. If I didn't watch the cast, I really didn't recognize him.

This film evokes memories of my grandma, and I firmly support euthanasia.

    If one day you were asked to face death, if one day you were asked to accept the dignified and independent end of your life from your loved ones, what would you think? How will you choose. Every time I watch the film, I will immerse myself in it, follow the plot, and watch it with tears. Maybe he is right, but he defiantly challenged the bottom line of human nature and attacked the rigidity of the law. This stubborn old man insisted on his beliefs, It's just that the arm can't twist the thigh and was beaten

    As a person who supports the view that "euthanasia is a kind of medical service", watching the film's final trial is annoying. God decides life? Shit. Life is one's own, so you should have your own decision. When the pain of the body finally comes to you, you will understand that death is a kind of beauty. Although Al Pacino is old, his charm is undiminished.
