Thank you. I wish I had more stars to give.

Are you seriously comparing a movie based in reality with a movie where people can fly and change shape and shit?

How many films are there where the disabled person decides to live? How many films address the context (political, social, economic) of why someone might choose to die? Context matters here.

I read the book. I thought that the author did a good job of explaining his disability and all of the effects it had on his daily life. She did focused very much on the fact that it was his choice to make, and how everyone else struggled to accept his choice after trying every way possible to talk him out of it. I

I just finished the book over the weekend. I totally understood where he was coming from and I think it’s likely many disabled people (as a result of an accident) do feel like life may not be worth living if it can’t be lived the way it was before. Why is it not okay for those people to be represented?

I read the book. It spends a lot of time describing his quality of life and how it will never improve. I am not a medical professional, but the effects of his particular disability seemed well-researched.
