As you all
know I spend my entire days watching movie on my PC and recently I saw this “Me
before you” movie that I can say (very) shortly it tells the story of a first class athlete from a very wealthy family who,
due to an accident finds himself (practically) disabled like me.
Very
briefly the story is about this guy having legally decided to go for the
assisted suicide, BUT his caregiver (very good looking woman
who never was a caregiver before) convinces him that life is too beautiful to give it up “just
because he’s disabled” and lives out of his memories of his wealthy, athletic world
traveler of the past.
He chooses
to stay alive because of his love for his caregiver, nothing different from my
love I have for my princess daughter who, every minute of every day gives me the
reason to “hang around” no matter my pains and losses. In fact lately we’ve
been speaking in Italian for the two reasons of (1) keep it exercised and (2)
improve her use of its grammar, that's of of paramount complexity.
Every time
she walks her Doberman Greta and before going to sleep, she calls me and my
heart explodes of love for my beauty who represents my main reason not only to
still be alive, but to never think to give it all up too, if I won’t walk her to
the altar on her wedding day, I know I’ll forever be in my pure hell.
Anyway, in
making my usual walk around the internet about this, I learned that plenty are not
only the disabled people who want to end their condition, but that there exist
even disability rights organization that's involved with the rights about assisted
suicide for those they are supposed to protect.
This is
truly a well done and acted movie that gets my 2 bottles of champagne to drink
with your close friends concluded by an educated commenting session before going
to bed.
