Later I read the book, moved and astonished by the mind behind the words, and the effort it took to write it. A terribly, terribly sad story. There is some doubt that his death was of natural causes - I can't imagine him ever changing his mind from the original wish to die. <br />Excellent review!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-31861450533545648012010-06-04T06:38:32.800+01:002010-06-04T06:38:32.800+01:00I loved this movie -- especially the beginning, th...I loved this movie -- especially the beginning, the pain and terror of it, all expressed in eyes.<br /><br />Have you seen Javier Bardem in "The Sea Inside" -- incredible movie about a Spanish poet locked in a paralyzed body who wants to die?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-66949680481701173462010-06-04T03:00:47.119+01:002010-06-04T03:00:47.119+01:00I loved the book, Cuban, now I must try for the fi...I loved the book, Cuban, now I must try for the film. <br /><br />I have resisted thinking it might ruin my experience of the book, but given what you say here, maybe not.
