to die or to live, it is always a question...
euthanasia has always been a point of contention. There is an old saying in China, "It is better to die than to live", but is this true?
When survival becomes a pain, when breathing is unbearable, when sickness and old age torture us to the point of loss of dignity and inhumanity, can we choose a peaceful and decent way to die? I think, maybe at that time, liberation was the only thought!
Death is also a human right and choice. I know that people who have not experienced it have no position to comment, but if it were me, I would probably choose to leave in peace instead of struggling in pain. This may be selfishness, or cruelty to the relatives around him, but it may not be another kind of relief.
Jack's sadness lies in his persistence in his beliefs. He is a pioneer in supporting euthanasia, but he is the object of rejection by religiousists. He challenged the law to legislate euthanasia, but the law eventually defeated him. At the end of the film, the female judge's sentence to him is inseparable from the law, "No one can be above the law", but isn't the law made by people? Isn't it for people? Those whose survival has become a torture are deprived of the right to die peacefully, can their pain be redeemed by the law? No, this is the tragedy of the law, but also the tragedy of human nature.
I'm not a supporter of euthanasia, but I sympathize with Jack and see him in prison at age 71.
Al Pacino is too nb, his acting skills are really worthless, he alone is enough to support the whole film~!
