The Sea Inside/Mar Adentro

04:51:00

It's all fine when everything goes well. You're healthy, happy, you have a job, a great relationship, people who support you in times of trouble and some plans for the future. But there are events that you cannot predict when you start your life path, there are diseases which are incurable, there are accidents whose outcomes make your life unbearable. There are situations which are overwhelming for you, obstacles too difficult to overcome. You never know whether you will win or lose. You learn from your experience and you cannot judge others on the basis of your beliefs and expectations as they cannot judge you. 
Do we have the right to die painlessly and peacefully if it is our desire? Do we have the right to finish the most personal journey on our own terms, cutting the ties with everything that keeps us here? Can we, taking into account circumstances, put an end to suffering and unhappiness? Can we decide about someone's death, be it our spouse, child, parent or a member of the family? And can we finally have control over our own death and make an irreversible decision? A story about a personal right to dignity. The Sea Inside.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
