Film Analysis : Me Before You

A Life or Death Situation, by Robin Marantz Henig, New York Times, July, 2013, is a review of the debate surrounding the right to a dignified death. It examines the purely philosophical view of the issue; as well as the heart wrenching reality of being faced with that question in one 's personal life. Does a person have a right to choose how he or she dies? How does that choice impact the people who care about about him or her?

The central aspects of documenting everyday life into a narrative that holds purpose and yet leaves the audience with a resounding message is the essence of what a short film attempts to accomplish. Film connects the two paradigms of visual and emotional appeal, while still capturing what it means to be human. From the monotonous to the exorbitant interior of the seemingly intricate parts that ultimately create the sum of our lives, the subject of death in of its parts, is insensitive to the narratives that we place on ourselves. The affair of death within its incomparable and obstinate state of the absolute is portrayed in a thoughtful way in short film “Our Time Is Up” by Rob Pearlstein, where a psychologist named Dr. Stern finds out he only has six weeks to live. The attentive matter that is due in part of death is depicted in an unconventional way in which engages the audience in a relatable and humorous way through the different yet personalized perspective of the characters in “Our Time Is Up”.

The Disney Way of Death explains the unfortunate/sad reaction to the evident loss of a loved one (friends and family).

A small town girl comes into their home and wants to support her family but Will and Lou fall in love as it puts pressures on Lou because she feared Will Traynor would hurt himself in grief. “A previous caregiver disappeared for several hours once to get her car fixed, and Will…injured himself in her absence” (Moyes, 86) Many people in Will’s life fear that he will hurt himself considering he has already tried to commit suicide. This gives his family the only choice to get him an all day - everyday nanny to watch over him, little does Will’s parents know it might make the problem worse. “I wished I could go back, back to when my biggest worry was whether Frank and I had ordered in enough Chelsea buns.” (Moyes,131) Lou’s life was a lot easier and simpler back when she didn’t work for the Traynor’s because she didn’t think that soon enough Will would become someone she is in love with. Moyes included this because she wanted the readers to know that even all the love and care that Lou was giving Will, it didn’t help him to stop taking people for

A Death of One’s Own sheds light onto the controversial issue regarding end of life decisions, providing a few examples of people struggling with these choices. The film tells the stories of three particular individuals, Jim, Kitty, and Ricky, each with a unique end of life situation. Jim suffers from ALS and has specific care requests, 56-year-old Kitty struggles with her uterine cancer and constant pain, and Ricky is a patient dying from severe liver failure who can no longer speak and make decisions on his own. All of these individuals present different, yet similar issues regarding end of their life care. This film describes the importance of advance directives, the arguments surrounding physician assisted suicide, and this prompted me to form my own opinion on preparing my own directives and thoughts on these tough decisions.

It has often been said that death is the only thing that truly unites the human race. While not a particularly pleasant thing to talk about, it is true. In 2016's Oscar Award nominated short Extremis, the issue of mortality is confronted head-on at an ICU as doctors, families, and patients make end-of-life decisions.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

Facing Death is a compelling documentary on, oftentimes, the final journey patients and their families will venture through together in life. The documentary seeks to capture how the patients and their families respond to the inevitability of death. The film includes families who respond to the issue by allowing their family member, the patient, to pass through the door of death without aggressive care, while there are yet other families who insist on everything being done to delay the moment of death. This topic of fighting death is attributed with producing much debate. On one hand are those who do not see the point of fighting death, however, on the other hand, there are those who believe that delaying death and staying alive is what ought to be done. Personally, from what I understand of either party, I think that I am a part of the later party. In addition, this issue naturally delves into what one believes occurs after death, as it is an issue dealing directly with death. This also compels me to view this topic from the viewpoint of the later party.

Death is a topic that unites all of humanity. While it can be uncomfortable to think about, confronting death in unavoidable. “Dying” addresses that discomfort and universal unwillingness to consider the inevitability of death. Pinsky’s use of imagery, symbolism, and tone create a poetic experience that is like death, something every reader can relate to. In “Dying,” Pinsky describes how people are oblivious and almost uncaring when it comes to the thought of death. Pinsky is trying to convince the reader that they shouldn’t ignore the concept of death because life is shorter than it seems.
