me before you had a very disappointing endig
In my opinion this movie should have had a more positive ending. there many people who have spinal cord injuries and those who become injured and the result of such injury is paralysis. I think it would have been a much better movie if it had ended with the man who was injured accepting the love from the young lady.
The actor Christopher Reeves wrote a book entitled Still Me. Although paralyzed from the neck down, Christopher Reeves was the same person he was before having the accident that left him paralyzed. even though he he had a spinal cord injury, Mr. Reeves still had his memories, his beliefs, his feelings, hopes & desires.
A person's brain is who s/he is and although her/his body is injured that person is still who s/he was before, mentally. The brain makes up a person's personality, their memory their understandings and perceptions and all the positive and negative things that make up who a person is. It's true that life is not always a bowl of cherries. We all encounter the pits many times in life some more than others.
I just think this movie had the opportunity to make a positive and powerful statement and it failed to do so. Finding real love in life whether a person is disabled or not is not always easy. Love can endure anything if one just allows it to do so.
Each person of course has the right to decide what they want to do with her/ his life. To me this movie just was very disappointing. Instead of lifting up, it brings down. if a person had just had a spinal cord injury, I definitely would not want to show them this movie . It would not be upbuilding or provide incentive to keep on going . I think it would make a person, in my opinion want to throw in the towel, give in and give up.
I think a better scenario would have been perhaps two people with spinal cord injuries and one making the decision to stop living, giving up and the other to make the decision to keep on going, and gaining victory over and extremely difficult situation. I can see the truth in the saying that where there's life there's hope but also where there's hope there's life.
Spinal cord injury can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. It's the result of an injury and accidents and injury do not discriminate. So, I think this movie would have been of better quality if the actor playing the man with the spinal cord injury would have persisted in living and persevered although experiencing hardship.

Grey owl is exciting, romantic, touching, thought provoking
1 of 1 found this helpful Pierce Brosnan delivers a stellar performance in Grey Owl. He brings the main character to life with his charismatic appeal.
