hyped garbage

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A lot of fun.

Blistering performances.

There are very few films that I think should be seen by every adult over the age of 30. This is one of them. As always, this film belongs to Al Pacino. His depiction of this little known or understood man, a groundbreaking personality in any regard, is both subtle and incredibly powerful. While Dr. Kavorkian was known as hero to those afflicted with intractable pain and suffering, and to others, namely those who call themselves Christians, he was viewed as Satan incarnate. My sympathies are unapologetic, and equally doubtless. I think that Jack Kavorkian was a great man, as important as any iconic figure in recent history, and a fearless fighter for human rights and dignity in the face of both the laws of a nation, and the laws of a particular religion. In my eyes, he was a relentless seeker of truth, a warrior without armor. In years hence, I believe he will be viewed in a far more acceptable and positive light. RIP.

Al Pacino at the top level of his acting. The writing is not exceptional as is "just" follows the true story of Jack. Al Pacino makes a difference and as the viewer you will forget very quick that it is acting only. You really believe to have the real Jack in front of you. Al Pacino drives you through a voyage of all possible emotions and is acting in perfect harmony with his co workers. In addition this movie tells you the true story of Jack and it is indeed an extraordinary controversy topic which suggests the viewer to further discuss even long after the film ended. If you want to see a great biography film not make for the big screen then this picture is a must see and Al very well deserved his golden globe

Have you ever been seriously ill? Once you're told that you'll recover, you probably found it boring, more than anything else. What if you weren't going to get better? What would you do?Jack Kevorkian (played by Al Pacino) was a pathologist but, by the time we join the story he has left his career behind. His friends and colleagues say he's retired but Kevorkian (Pacino) states that retirement means you are no longer preoccupied with your chosen profession and that he is simply unemployed. Being unemployed, he has a great deal of free time and is intrigued by a local news story. A man who is paralyzed from the neck down wishes to end his life while the hospital caring for him is fighting to prevent it. Kevorkian had written several articles on euthanasia for foreign periodicals by that time and was now determined to make practical use of his theories. The hospital learned of his intentions, stopped him, and the patient died of starvation. Nevertheless, our protagonist continued his search for a patient. Assisting him in this quest, the doctor had longtime friend and colleague, Neal Nicol (played by John Goodman) and his loving sister, Margo (played by Brenda Vaccaro). In time, he is approached by a married couple, a woman suffering from Alzheimer's and her husband. This presents Kevorkian with an ethical dilemma, as Alzheimer's is not a fatal disease. Once Margo (Vaccaro) puts the matter in perspective, they begin devising a plan. While searching for a location, Kevorkian approached a member of the Hemlock Society by the name of Janet Good. Good (played by Susan Sarandon) offers the use of her home but later reneges. In spite of that, the plan is carried out and Kevorkian becomes national news.If you ask most people about the Right to Die movement, they'd probably tell you that reasonable people could disagree on the matter. Personally, I don't understand that, as I am an advocate of personal choice. Likewise, I believe this movie is incredible and cannot comprehend anyone thinking otherwise. Pacino has partnered with HBO on another project Phil Spector, about the renowned music producer. Maybe it's the fact that, deep down, Kevorkian is a sympathetic figure and Spector is not but, the latter film fell flat, at least for me. The story of You Don't Know Jack and supporting cast are incredible and Pacino himself won an Emmy for his performance, as he should've. I'm not sure how you'd find it, but you should absolutely see this film if you can.

delicate subject. interesting manner to present it. and new wave for Pacino. more than a great actor, he is best option for doctor Kevorkian story. because more than a film or a pledge, more than a documentary in skin of drama, more than a case, the film is a window to a dark, gentle, cruel, humanitarian world. not a verdict. only a drawing. a trial. but in a form who destroy borders between good and bad. without compromises but a speech for everybody conscience. it is extraordinary the precise science of Al Pacino to give force, fragility and a kind of aura to a butcher-victim. sure, the case is more complex. the film is not source of revelations or support for one of parts. it is only occasion to reflect about a subject out of colors. a beginning. subtle, ambiguous, strange. the advocate of devil - same Al Pacino on top of hill.
