Movie Reviews of The Sea Inside
Movie Review: The Sea Inside AWESOME MOVIE for upper level SPANISH CLASSES
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach Spanish 3 & 4 and use this movie every year. Although it's a controversial topic, the students really enjoy discussing the theme and seeing the movie. Some students have said this is one of the best films they have ever seen. It really gets kids talking and thinking of what "quality of life" really means and who has the right to decide.
Although it's all in Spanish, I keep on the English subtitles to help students understand the Castillian accent, which they're not used to hearing that often. The subtitles don't diminish the power of this film. Buy it today!
Summary of The Sea Inside
Academy Award nominee Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls) delivers a powerful and sensitive portrayal of a quadriplegic who fights to win the right to end his life with dignity. Based on a true story.DVD Features:Audio Commentary:Director CommentaryDeleted Scenes:Documentaries:"A trip to The Sea Inside" Making-ofStoryboards:Theatrical Trailer:
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of 2004, The Sea Inside is a life-affirming film about a man who wishes to die. That may seem like a massive contradiction, but in the hands of director Alejandro Amen?bar (Open Your Eyes, The Others) and actor Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls), this fact-based Spanish drama concerns the final days of Ram?n Sampedro, the quadriplegic poet who waged a controversial campaign for his right to die. He was denied this right for 30 years, and ultimately arranged for his own assisted suicide, but this remarkable film--and Bardem's keenly intelligent performance--examines the hotly-debated issue of assisted suicide with admirable depth and humanity, just as Sampedro did until his death in 1998. For Sampedro, death was preferable to severe paralysis (he even refused to use a wheelchair), but the film does not suggest a "disposable" attitude toward disability. Instead, it's a thoughtful meditation on life and love as gifts to be cherished, and a challenging drama that begs each viewer to examine their own personal beliefs about what makes life worth living. You may not agree with Sampedro and his ultimate denial of life, but The Sea Inside will urge you to ponder how you would react under similar circumstances, and that makes it a profoundly meaningful film. --Jeff Shannon
