The Sea Inside
PREWRITING AND REVIEW (EN1320.U3.HOM1)
Background knowledge of the movie, book or product: 1. Who were its creators or original developers?
Pedro Almenabar 2. Exactly what are you reviewing?
A movie based in a real life of Ramon Sampedro 3. When and where was it created?
Ramon Sampedro born in Spain January 5, 1943 and died January 12, 1998, the movie was presented to audience in December 9, 2004, New York city, New York, USA. 4. Why was created?
On my personal opinion was created as a tribute to this man, that fight for obtain the permit to die, for the principles of euthanasia, due the circumstance of life that he had as a quadriplegic man, unable to take care of himself and didn’t move any part of his body except his mouth and eyes, due a terrible accident in the sea. 5. How was it made?
The movie count with the videos, letters, notes, books and poems of the protagonist Mr. Ramon Sampedro, for the collaboration in enriching testimony of his lawyer, family and friends that help to make up and build the life of each character of the movie.
Using ITT Tech Virtual Library to locate at least one review of your movie, book, or product. 1. What have others said about your movie, book or product?
If someone should ask you, 'What's good at the movies?,' and you answer, 'Well, there's this swell Spanish film about a quadriplegic guy who's fighting for the fight to die,' chances are the next words you'll hear are, 'What else?'
Such antipathy characterized at least the initial North American response to The Sea Inside, a multiple prize-winning, box-office hit in Spain and elsewhere in Europe. The film was no doubt aided overseas by greater familiarity with its subject, as a biopic concerning Ramón Sampedro, whose battle during the 1990's to be able to choose a 'death with dignity' produced widespread media coverage, a best-selling book of his writings, and ultimately, in 1998, an assisted suicide. Its U.S. distributors no doubt have counted on Javier
