Review of The Sea Inside (2004) by Mandy D — 16 Apr 2009

Truly a BEAUTIFUL miovie in which you see and feel the anxiety of a man who wants to die because he belives his life is not worth living for anymore beacuse of his paralysis from the head down and thus can't move...He wants to end his life but the world won't give him that freedom that he years for.

I like to think that whenever you are in a case like Ramon in the movie, a person should have the right to decide when they want to die and why as long as it is a valid reason (which Ramon's was in all his right to want to die, but with dignity). When you cant move and you see the world go on without you, wouldn't that kill you everyday little by little in the simple thought of wanting to move and run, hug the person you love, or simply look after yourself? It is devastating not being able to do things on your own and that is the main reason Ramon wants to die, to end his misery. I love how he uses his imagination to go places he otherwise can't...Ramon definetely inspires without really knowing it. It is rather ironic how throughout the movie, Ramon wants to help those who surroung him by giving them advise on how they should keep on going in life, but on the other hand, he wants to end his.....

Anyways, besides the fact that Javier Bardem is extremely handsome, he did a wonderful job in playing the role of the Spaniard Ramon Sampedro.

This movie made me cry and think alot about life itself....after all, isnt these kinds of emotions what a really good movie leaves people with?? yes they are :D.

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!! YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! :D.
