Thirty-five-year-old Bardem plays 55-year-old Ramon Sampedro, a Galician who broke his neck as a young man and has spent more than a quarter of a century as a quadriplegic, confined to bed. Reflecting on his past and considering his future, he chooses to die, petitioning the courts for permission to be euthanized. His radical decision sets off controversy throughout Spain--as well as in his own house, where his family and friends all have different opinions on the fate he has chosen.

LIfe, Death, Dignity, Human Rights...The True Story of Ramon Sampedro
Pros: Complex characters, rich dialogue, beautiful scenery, balanced approach. Cons: None. Bottom Line: The Sea Inside: Ramon Sampedro and the Case For Euthenasia
Pros: Intellectual debate, artisitic direction, brilliant lead by Bardem Cons: None Bottom Line: Forced to Live, a Man Awaits Death Via Assisted Suicide: THE SEA INSIDE (2004)
Pros: Bardem's performance is stunning, direction, pacing Cons: Extremely depressing all the way through Bottom Line: Whose life is it, anyway? -- Alejandro Amenabar's The Sea Inside
Pros: A moving story, engrossing issues, beautiful cinematography, superb acting. Cons: A few sentimentalities, but I don't see them as "cons" here. Bottom Line: A Hero In Bondage
Pros: Inspirational, beautifully shot, well-directed, and well-acted! Cons: Perhaps his life was romanticized a tad bit too much? Bottom Line: Even Javier Bardem can't rescue The Sea Inside.
Pros: Javier Bardem. The occasionally soaring cinematography. Cons: Overbearingly depressing and negative. Bottom Line: |
