Saw it by chance. After reading it, I realized that the male lead is James McAvoy of The Last King of Scotland. so different. It is not easy for an ordinary person to play a paraplegic disabled person, especially the struggle in a wheelchair. It really saddens me to see the suppressed feelings behind. The movie is good, but I won't watch it a second time.

Michael Connolly: [Siobhan is interpreting Michael's words] When I first met Rory I thought he was trouble. And I was right. He *is* trouble. Yet because he is seen as a rebel, you believe he hasn't the responsibility to live independently. But how do you learn to be responsible? You live in the world. You make your own decisions. You make your own mistakes. So if this panel can offer independent living to someone like me who until recently had no concept of what that meant, and refuse someone whose very life is an embodiment of independence, then I believe that the panel showed a prejudice.
