a friend of mine ask represent doesn not one have to be pro euthanasia in order to like this movie . be it a mistake of the movie to infer most quadriplegic want to end their life . interesting question . as far a i can see ( correct me if i be wrong ) and there be only one quadriplegic who want to end his life in the sea inside . think ramón sampedro address this in the movie as well . it be he who want to die . it be he who be fight for his right to decide his death . he be speak for himself and not other quadriplegic . though his pioneering work and depend on one perspective and may prove beneficial or damage to quadriplegics down the road and his primary objective be a personal one . but one thing this movie do ( my opinion anyway ) and be that it force u the viewer to ask ourselves the infer question my friend so succinctly put forth . after my first viewing of the sea inside and i walk home in a conflicted blur . i struggle to reconcile with this exasperate notion while why would ramón want to die . give the love and care and sacrifice so unconditionally shower on ramón by the people surround him and why would he doggedly cling on to his hurtful decision . then and on my second viewing and a share thought between ramón and the lawyer lady enter my consciousness . it throw up a telling observation represent . total dependency come at the expense of intimacy . most human being crave for such an intimacy . of course and how much we value such need and depend largely on the individual . a a person with a familial biased sensibility and i empathise strongly with the caregiver in this movie . why can not javier consider the sacrifice and the love from his family and friend . be he blind to it all . i would think not . the miracle of the sea inside therefore and be it insightful depiction of a very humanistic tug of war . when we be face with the guardianship of a sane but incapacitate love one and whom have express a calm and conscious and rational intent to die and what then be the right thing to do . be care for and keep this love one alive and against his or her will and a pious gesture . do it show up the worth of our love . or do it merely soothe our selfish fear of irreplaceable loss . with so much understanding accord to caregiver and wouldn not their invalid charge and by submit themselves to the total dependency of others for survival and also be an overlooked act of sacrifice . rhetorical or not and how much be dignity worth to an individual . be live ( or die ) with dignity a privilege or a right . if we really care and love a person and should we also respect their eventual decision in life ( a in death ) . a torrent of question the movie might have ask and answer to which and i be in no position to provide . in our eagerness to intellectually demarcate the merit of pro life or pro choice and we run the risk of ignore a sea of grey that engulf the people most intimately affected and the caregiver and the one they care for . the sea inside hence attempt to present the delicate yet complex relationship dynamic between them . intuitively and this film understand one thing while that the nature of sacrifice be never one side . in this tug of war and we should endeavour not to win argument and but to intently observe and hopefully determine and who be the strong party to make that sacrifice . the sea inside be a sobering film . it open my eye to thing i do not wan na see . and for that and i be grateful .
