the sea inside, 'mar adentro' in spanish

no i'm not out on the road yet. but we went to see this movie yesterday. WOW. it has immediately jumped into my all-time favorite movies list. this is a story about a man in spain who when young, dove into the ocean and broke his neck. he was a quadripilegic the rest of his life. it is about the right to die when one chooses to do so voluntarily, given this type of extreme circumstance. it is supposed to be based on a true story. it is such a powerful movie that at the end of the movie not one person in the theater got up for several minutes. it grabs your emotions and does not let go. you become totally engrossed in the story of this man and his caring family and the friends around him. it is extremely well-acted, all the characters are very well done. it won the academy award for best foreign language file. it also won awards in europe i think. anyway, very very highly recommended viewing.
