You Don't Know Jack

[skatingtripods]

I got a chance this morning to sit down and watch HBO's original movie about Jack Kevorkian and I thought it was incredibly well done. It really got to the essence of why he did what he did and it featured the actual video tapes of his evaluation with the patients. Some people really painted him out to be this horrible guy, but as his character says in the movie, he turned 98% of the people away.

Pacino was outstanding. I fully expected him to be, but it was an award-winning performance IMO.

Anybody else seen this? I mean, we could turn it in to a debate on assisted suicide if we really wanted to, but I get the feeling that most of us on the boards would feel the same way about it. I just wanted to get some other thoughts about the movie.

Really good movie. Pacino really showed the human side of Kevorkian. The one the media never bothered to show.

Kevorkian never did anything to anyone who didn't ask, and in some cases beg for it. A person should have the right to die if they want. Putting a terminally ill dog to sleep is considered humane, when Jack does it for a person, people want to call him a murderer.

Really good movie, I highly reccomend it.

Been sitting on my DVR since Saturday...

With all these damn basketball games I'm not sure when I'll get around to watching it?

Glad to hear both you guys liked it though...

As soon as I saw Pacino/HBO together, I figured it be good

I watched this last night and loved it, so I'm bumping this thread. So far I'd say this is the best movie I have seen this year.

Highly recommended to anyone, whether you are for or against euthanasia. There were some very intense scenes, and Pacino did an incredible job.
