Will Protests Against "Me Before You's" Disability Representation Affect Opening Weekend Profits?

From your artìcle... "Then, as now, many in the disabled community voiced regret and anger that this film implied life wasn’t worth living if one was paralyzed from the neck/waist down."

I didn't see it in that way. I saw it as a great love story between two individuals. Still do.

The Shopgirl, Silver Linings Playbook, when Harry Met Sally... Not sure why those stand out...there are lots, I just can't remember right now.

The metamorphic organ of simulation?

Going Platonic

Frodo and Samwise from the LOTR series. Their final scene at the docks in the Grey Havens was killer.

A man and his country in The Railrodder

 

[Seeler]

Gone With the Wind

 

[BetteTheRed]

Ew, seeler, I can't watch that one anymore. It was charming until I understood a lot more about context.

However, I loved "The Sound of Music". Christopher Plummer has always/usually played a very well-behaved leading man.

Along the same lines as The Sound of Music...

The King and I.

My mother and father. Still missin ya, mom.
