Review of The Sea Inside (2004) by Asif K — 15 Jun 2010
The two words that come to mind - Beautiful, poignant. Javier Bardem gives an exquisite performance of a parapelegic who is as charming as he is sad. This film shows the strength of a person to fight for autonomy even when the body is unable to provide it.
Furthermore it shows that love, friendship, and family though complex and varied all become the reason that the struggle is as important as the outcome. A very sad, moving and thought provoking movie about the right to end your own life with dignity.
While not everyone might agree with the statement of the movie, especially considering the main character does still have very precious aspects to his life, it still manages to convince with a couple of very touching scenes.
Javier Barden's outstanding performance along with the good cast is a huge part of its credibility, the really nice soundtrack and the subtle direction are helping, too. Definitely worth watching.
superb, outstanding.
