Other good ones for Spinal Chord Injuries (not quads, but paras, though they deal with familiar issues of denial/acceptance): - Passion Fish - The Waterdance - Coming Home (Vietnam vet) - Born on the Fourth of July (also Vietnam vet)
The Spanish movie 'The Sea Within' is Quad-specific and deals with right-to-die, based on a true story. Poignant, but I thought kind of a downer. I like "The Bone Collector" with Denzel Washington and Queen Latifa as his PCA, despite its ridiculously innaccurate portrayal of life as a quad (he's very dextrous with a mouse, but never leaves his bed). Don't like to reveal surprise endings, but "Million Dollar Baby" bugged me. ________________________________ From: Jim Lubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 9:48:14 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] quad movie recommendation I recommend "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" In 1995, author and Elle magazine editor Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a stroke that put him in a coma; he awakened mute and completely paralyzed ---- Jim Lubin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://makoa.org/jim disAbility Resources: http://www.makoa.org
