Million Dollar Baby

I have never watched Million Dollar Baby.

It won awards, people were talking about it, it was a big deal. I considered watching it until I heard about the ending.

I am so tired of every movie with a quadriplegic character in it being about how that character wants to die. It is so trite and so ignorant. It’s lazy on the part of the writers.

From what I’ve heard the depiction of quadriplegia is over dramatic and unrealistic.

I should watch it for the sake of completeness in my “research” of disability in the media, but I’d rather keep my sanity. The only thing watching that movie is going to do for me is raise my blood pressure.
