Here is my full reaction to Me Before You!

This was such a powerful and inspiring film. At the same time, it was heartbreaking and I was sobbing. I watched this right before leaving for my trip, so I was excited to see there was a Switzerland component. Despite everything, this film has such a deep message of not taking your life for granted and I loved seeing how impactful Will was in Louisa's life. Sam Claflin did a phenomenal job and his chemistry with Emilia Clarke was superb!

The YouTube version should be up within the next two weeks,

Very good reaction!

Ed Scoglio

Really wanted to watch this one, but I couldn't keep it synced with you. Have to try it some other time! I appreciate you noting the difference between a romance and a love story. That very thing was brought up in the movie Obsession, but it wasn't answered!

Ed Scoglio

It's not your fault! As far as I know... haha 😉

I watched this movie several years ago and didn't like it. I wasn’t planning on watching it again because its message didn’t sit right with me. But I decided to give it a second chance and check out your reaction, Jax, to see if I missed anything. It turns out that I did. While my overall opinion of the movie is the same, I'm glad I revisited it. I forgot how sweet Lou and Will’s love story is. But that actually makes the movie’s ending even worse. Will absolutely had something to live for. Something great to live for. The movie shows us that, which makes his assisted suicide even more tragic. Another thing I forgot about is that Will’s mental health isn’t even addressed in the movie. He’s obviously depressed. Why isn’t his depression being treated? He was never given the chance to fully explore coping mechanisms like therapy or antidepressants before making his final choice. I noticed during a scene between Lou and Nathan, you agreed when Nathan said he can’t judge Will because it’s his choice to end his life. You also said at the end that you were glad that people supported his decision. I have to admit that disappointed me because I think that's where the movie's message becomes most troubling. Respecting a person's dignity does not require affirming every choice they make. We all recognize that people sometimes freely make destructive choices. Love requires us to oppose those choices rather than facilitate them. Yes, we know Will was in severe pain. But every life, even when marked by suffering, has profound intrinsic value. True love calls us to sacrifice, not to abandon. It calls us to put others before ourselves, even when it’s hard. The movie showed us the love that Lou and Will had for one another. Will tells Lou at the wedding, "You are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning." During their trip to Mauritius, Will acknowledges to Lou that they could have a good life together. This is devastating to the movie's message, in my opinion. A good life is not something that should be thrown away, even if it's not Will's ideal life. We shouldn't simply accept that decision because it's "his decision". We should do everything we can to stop someone we love from throwing away a good life. The notion that this was “his decision” and we should respect it for that reason is at odds with how most countries treat this issue. Respecting assisted suicide as a societal norm is not the global consensus; in fact, it’s the exception. Assisted suicide/euthanasia is illegal in all but a few countries, reflecting a consensus that the choice to take one’s life is not one that society should condone and facilitate. Switzerland is unique in the world because its assisted suicide law does not establish a medical eligibility requirement. In other words, the law does not require a person seeking assistance to have a terminal illness, a diagnosis, or a legally defined showing of suffering. Back in 2003 a married couple in their 50’s traveled to Switzerland to end their lives. Their conditions? Diabetes and epilepsy. Switzerland has continued to help people end their lives under comparable circumstances. If any of us walked into a bathroom and discovered a loved one who had taken his own life, we’d all view it as a horrific tragedy. Some of us would be angry at that person for making that decision. We often hear the message that suicide is never the answer. We encourage people with suicidal ideations to call the hotline and seek mental health treatment. Everyone who takes matters into their own hands has a reason: depression, pain, terminal illness, etc., but that doesn’t change how we feel about suicide when done that way. But if someone buys a plane ticket to Switzerland and takes their life at a fancy facility? That’s their choice and we have to respect it for some reason. This is a contradiction and it makes no sense. I didn’t even mention all of the protests over this movie from disability advocates. Many disability advocates argued that the movie suggests that a disabled person’s life isn’t one worth living. There are many reactions from those in that community on YouTube that are easy to find. They are worth seeking out. Every human life possesses intrinsic, equal value regardless of disability. The tragedy isn't that Will was disabled. The tragedy is that everyone around him eventually accepted the idea that his life was no longer worth living. One more thought on the issue of individual autonomy. Individual autonomy is an important value, but it is not absolute. We routinely limit personal freedom when exercising it creates a serious and foreseeable risk of harm to others. Few would argue that someone has the right to drive 100 miles per hour on a crowded freeway simply because it is "their choice." Suicide deserves similar consideration. While often framed as a purely personal decision, it can inflict profound psychological harm on family and friends and, in some cases, contribute to what researchers recognize as suicide contagion, where exposure to one suicide increases the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors in vulnerable individuals. The deaths of singers Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington are frequently discussed as a possible example of this phenomenon. Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park, was good friends with Cornell and took his life on what would have been Cornell’s 53rd birthday, just two months after Cornell took his own life. If autonomy has recognized limits, and one of those limits is the prevention of serious and foreseeable harm to others, then the principle of autonomy should not extend to suicide simply because it is "their choice." Yes, this is a topic I’m very passionate about so please forgive my long-windedness.

I love the movie it was great, I kinda think you jinxed it at the beginning but it was great. I’m mad at Will because he was selfish I think he could have done more with his life and money, one of the people that coms to mind being quadriplegic is Christopher Reeves he did as much as he could with charity work but I understand it’s Will’s decision and also it’s a movie.

I have a much different opinion on how Will handled his situation, but I won't discuss it here. It's not as easy as everyone thinks. Not everyone's siutation is the same. That's all I'll say.

I enjoy a good tragedy, but I can't accept the inspirational angle they try to give the ending. I reject the notion that Clark was somehow incomplete because she had no ambition. She was happy with her quiet life; there's nothing wrong with that. Ambitious people are rarely happy, and Will is the perfect example. He is incredibly unlikable outside of the sympathy for his misfortune, and he was the one that stood to grow from meeting Clark. He is a snobby, defeatist, hypocritical prick. Suicide when you are surrounded by people who love you is selfish, even more so in this instance where he let someone fall in love with him already knowing what he intended to do. It also feels disgustingly ableist to imply that a disabled life isn't one worth living. He had more than most people ever have, a loving family, and wealth enough for any needs. There are so many advances these days for people with disabilities. Sure he will never be an extreme sports person again, but there's so much in life that matters a lot more than that.

Cameron

I couldn't agree more. I hate the scene where Will says they could have a good life, but it wouldn't be the life he would have had. He "can't be the kind of man that accepts this." What kind of man, a lesser one? He thinks he is a better man than someone who appreciates what they still have? Earlier Will himself says how we only have one life; we should live it to the fullest. Ending it at barely past thirty is not living it to the fullest. Part of what makes humanity great is our tenacious ability to adapt. Yes, your life will never be the same but that doesn't mean you can't live a fulfilling life.
