In the slow rhythm of the film, in dialogues, interviews, trials, the end of the matter is obvious, you can criticize the law, but you just can't be above it, challenge its authority, So JACK's imprisonment is inevitable.
You don't understand Jack, you don't understand euthanasia, you don't understand death,
you resist death, and euthanasia is a way to end your life, you will also avoid it, even the public's attitude towards JACK is the same.
When we watch the movie rationally, we all understand that JACK is a good person. He is stubborn, aggressive, and even a bit excessive, but he is a good person and thinks about his patients. But his OUT OF THE TIME is not outdated, but he is a person from the future, striving for the interests of the future self, and we have always treated the future self like a stranger, cold and overly optimistic.
The people never felt that they would not approach death in that way - so unbearable, painful. Those experiences never seem to be related to them, and some of the holes and problems that euthanasia may bring about make them so worried that they are excluded without thinking, and they are afraid of it.
The future self will die one day, and at that time excessive rescue and medical improvement may become the source of pain, but they have been stubbornly defending the current self, ignoring the future self, and just Just like we are reluctant to save more money for ourselves and prefer to use it right away.
So the emergence of JACK is revolutionary, but a little out of time, maybe it will be out of date at any time, because no one wants to talk about death, except those who are suffering.
Prejudice and stubbornness have nothing to do with age, but those who protest most are the young people who are the least willing to face death, and they presume that the same is true for others. And when they are old, sick, and in pain, and they have to face death, maybe then they will truly understand JACK and reverse their prejudice. If from this point of view, JACK succeeds, he succeeds of euthanasia really into their thinking, although it takes a lot of time.
