This film uses the godfather Pacino as the death doctor, which is undoubtedly a very appropriate character image, showing his stubborn and fearless will. The story of the film has a great impact on society and is widely controversial. If you ask me whether I support euthanasia, and whether supporters have the right to control their own life and death. My answer is yes, but the reasons for suicide must be respectable. It is impossible for a person to be free from illness and pain, just to escape the social reality and go to see God irresponsibly, or a person just suffers from depression and agrees to let him see God on a whim. My stand is only for those who are too old to be a burden to society and unable to contribute and those who are afflicted by daily and nightly ailments. Maybe it's a selfish idea, but it's better than those who can't afford to pay the exorbitant bills in the hospital, who are tortured by pain every day and night but can't kill themselves. Don't be afraid to say, if I have any illness and have to pay a high cost to maintain my life, then I would rather euthanize me than drag my family and society down. When I was a child, I thought that the hospital could give people a healthy paradise, but when I grew up, I realized that it was actually a hell that burned people's hard-earned money.

    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.

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?
