The Sea Inside

The Sea Inside is the story of a quadriplegic man who is fighting in the courts for his right to die. Throughout the story, he is an inspiration and a support to many people, but still does not find that worth while enough to want to live. The most poignant point of the film is when the main character is "let down" yet again by someone promising to kill him and ends up crying out "Why do I want to die?". He never doubts his desire, but truly questions why his lot in life is different than others who are even worse off than him. Makes one think a bit about why we actually do love life and how we are all really very different.
