Only when these three questions can be answered satisfactorily can euthanasia be included in the scope of legal norms and recognized by the law. The film "Eternal Sleep" is mainly about the first question, because it is more philosophical and the easiest to debate than the two more technical questions below. Undoubtedly, the film does not discuss this issue neutrally, but has a strong bias, which supports a normal and full-hearted individual who has the right to choose death when he considers his life to be undignified. Of course, this is not a disadvantage for a movie, but because of this, the passion that the movie exudes can give us a better viewing experience. In the final analysis, euthanasia is freedom, and whether people have the freedom to choose to end their own lives, according to modern legal values, freedom and human rights are a more important and higher value of order. Instead of order, choose freedom, choose human rights. But this value may not have been fully recognized in the era shown in the film. Secondly, whether a person is an individual person or a collective person is also a question that needs to be answered. Many times, one of the reasons why people oppose suicide is that the person who loves you will be very sad when you die. This is also the reason for many people who want to die but still choose to live in pain. I don't know if this is the right choice and whether it is worth advocating. Especially in China, when more people still have not broken free from the shackles of their families and live completely as individuals, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to discuss respecting suicide and euthanasia.
Talking about the movie itself, this movie is undoubtedly valuable. Whether you support or oppose euthanasia, this movie shows the audience the value pursuit of a person who supports and actively pursues euthanasia, which will make us think. Secondly, what is the meaning of the poem to Harvey in the movie? In my opinion, this is to make Harvey understand the value of family love and be grateful to your parents and relatives who brought you into this world. I don't know if this understanding makes sense. Finally, let's talk about the technology of the movie, the soundtrack and the display of the camera lens are very beautiful, especially the part where the protagonist fantasizes about flying out of the house and into the sea, which really gives the audience a flying experience of their own, which is very powerful. In the end, I want to say that no matter what the choice is, it's all about love.
