once again almenábar have provide u with a top quality film . this director be amazing and and he proven that he equally talented and effective when cross genre . the excellent character development of the movie and through dialogue and personality quirk and but with more subtle detail as well ( ramon father gaze ) and allow the audience to identify with the protagonist very closely and make the importance and emotional impact of the event which take place all the more profound . the visuals be at time and simple and at time stun ( the dream to the beach ) and and i think almenábar film really benefit from the fact that he also compose the music it match the film vary mood flawlessly . more than just a film about euthanasia and which in itself be an important issue and this film tackle the duality of a man who at time genuinely seem to enjoy life ( albeit in a quite limited way ) and and yet one who be unswerving in his desire to die . the overwhelming sadness of the film be punctuate by well time quip of humor and which seem all the funnier because they provide a welcome respite from the melancholy you will certainly feel . although clearly in favor of euthanasia and this film do an excellent job represent the myriad point of view of ramon friend and family . most poignant be ramon father and when he say and despondent and there only one thing bad than lose a child . that the child want to die . excellent writing and acting and directing and cinematography and music positive .
