Spinal cord injury can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. It's the result of an injury and accidents and injury do not discriminate. So, I think this movie would have been of better quality if the actor playing the man with the spinal cord injury would have persisted in living and persevered although experiencing hardship.

I just think this movie had the opportunity to make a positive and powerful statement and it failed to do so. Finding real love in life whether a person is disabled or not is not always easy. Love can endure anything if one just allows it to do so. Quinn, Karl (16 June 2016). "Me Before You, starring GoT's Emilia Clarke, is a 'disability snuff movie', say protesters".

The real driving force in the film is the relationship and chemistry between Will and Louise, as they light up the screen every time they are front and center. Clarke is excellent in her role, which is a big jump from the Queen of Dragons and even Sarah Connor. Here, Clarke wears her heart on her sleeve and is quirky and clumsy. It was great to see Clarke in this different role. Sam Claflin does a great job here as well, struggling every day with his situation. The film drew some controversy with the thought that paraplegics would be better off dead and not a burden to others. I didn't see that here at all, as the whole movie is showing you just how beautiful life is in all cases. The characters and relationships are all well executed here, but the clunky dialogue and story doesn't reachthe top of the hill.

Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave it a grade of B+ and wrote: "It may not quite rise to the level of a classic three-hankie tearjerker, but it's proof that sometimes one or two hankies is more than enough to get the job done." [28] [29] [30] Accolades [ edit ] Award In my opinion this movie should have had a more positive ending. there many people who have spinal cord injuries and those who become injured and the result of such injury is paralysis. I think it would have been a much better movie if it had ended with the man who was injured accepting the love from the young lady.
