THE SEA INSIDE DISTRIBUTOR ESTIMATES AVAILABILITY AS: January I VIDEO: N/A | COUNTRY: Spain | DISTRIBUTOR: Odeon Films | DIRECTOR: Alejandro Amenábar | LEADS; Javier Bardem, Belén Rueda, Lola Dueñas, Mobel Rivera, Celso Bugallo, Clara Segura i RUNNING TIME; 125 minutes : English Subtitles| RATINGS: NR A Special Presentation at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival, winner of the Grand Special Jury Prize and Best Actor at the 2004 Venice International Film Festival, THE SEA INSIDE is a powerful and beautiful depiction of the struggle of Ramón Sampedro (Javier Bardem, BEFORE NIGHT FALLS), who, after being left paralyzed from the neck down, sought the right to die with dignity. Euthanasia is a dangerously emotional subject, but director Alejandro Amenábar (ABRE LOS OYOS, THE OTHERS) manages the task with great delicacy by focusing on the story of one man's desire to end his own life. Through this plight, Amenábar is able to explore basic human needs and emotions, as well as our fundamental questions about what constitutes living. Sampedro has accepted his accident, but calmly acknowledges that he no longer wants to endure an existence in which he is barely a participant. For him, neither love nor life can be merely mental activities. We cringe with pain as we see him suffer under his unsatisfied desires - to touch the woman he loves and to walk by her side. He pacifies this longing in several incredibly photographed scenes - in one of the film's most poignant scenes, he imagines himself flying out his bedroom window, soaring high above the Galician landscape - but reality always returns. Though this is intrinsically a film about death, it truly dazzles in its celebration of life and the affirmation of human will, powerfully rendered by Bardem's devastatingly moving performance. We have the power to create heaven on earth if we want, although we have the same power to create hell. THE SEA WITHIN is Amenábar's first masterpiece. His ability to make such profound statements through a simple story will resonate for years. "A dramatic triumph." -Justin Holland, Variety "A film both poetic and profound," -Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter.

Cochran,-Diana---Seeing-Inside--The-Sea-Inside-.Pdf
“Among college-age youth (20–24 years) in the United States, suicide is the third leading cause of death.”1 Our youth today struggle with emotional and mental issues which are sometimes manifested in self-destructive behaviors or even attempts at suicide. Thus, I believe the Spanish film “Mar Adentro” (The Sea Inside) is powerful and relevant to our college-aged students. It relates the true story of Ramón Sampedro who is paralyzed in a diving accident and spends the next twenty-nine years of his life fighting for the legal right to carry out an assisted suicide. He loses the legal battle, but does find someone to help him end his life. He sips potassium cyanide from a straw as this person films his death. This event, which occurs in Galicia, Spain in 1998, sparks a national debate in Spain about the legality and justification of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and suicide in general. In the aftermath of Sampedro’s death, the filming of which was exposed to the public, his suicide assistant (a close female friend) is arrested, then released, and a popular campaign erupts in Spain with many claiming to be “the one” who helped him die. Even politicians show their support for his decision by signing a document stating they helped Sampedro to die.2 I use this film in a 300-level course called “Hispanic Culture through the Media Arts”. One of my objectives in the course is to begin to develop the skill of comprehending a wide variety of topics in films. This movie certainly helps in that regard.

List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.
