May I ask a question? Please do not jump all over me. I'm truly asking this out of a desire to understand! To see a viewpoint on a subject I know little about.

I read the wikipeida entry on the movie and the source material.
Why is it a bad thing that there is a movie where someone might feel like a burden after a horrific accident that leaves them disabled? To me it seem like there might be people out there that DO feel this way. Why does a movie that portrays this be a bad thing. There are lots of movies where someone is in an accident and overcomes overwhelming odds to walk again/participate in some sport/something inspiring. Well, maybe not lots, but there have been some.

I'm not trying to argue or anything. And I hope you get what I'm asking and do not get offended. I'm jut trying to understand why this is a big deal.

By the way, have you read the Lincoln Rhyme crime books by Jeffery Deaver? The main character is a quadrapelegic detective. They're quite good.
