  • Don't call him Dr. Death in the description. That's too simplistic for the movie that honored him.

  • I would also like to add to my previous comment, That Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I believe that this rule, should be said the same for Death.

  • what a movie..watched 5 times in webmovietube

  • wow..amazing..awesome..just watched this in webmovietube

  • wow..amazing..awesome..just watched this in webmovietube

  • this is ok movie..watched the full movie in webmovietube for free

  • WHY THIS IS TV MOVIE PACINO SHOULD BE WINNING OSCAR FOR THIS

    DAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOON

  • nice job.! will watch this in webmovietube

  • I just watched the movie (thank you Redbox!) and I have to say, I didn't know Jack before. The movie is probably more informative than a documentary would have been and I think that is accomplished by the mass emotion that is portrayed excellently by the cast, especially Pacino. The euthanasia scences are tense (not intense) and you really feel it. The same with the courtroom scences, you really feel the struggle having to defend what is you know is right because of the way the Law works.

  • btw where can i watch the full movie for free without registration?

  • no matter how much you admire his "conviction" or his "humor" you still can't deny the fact that he KILLED PEOPLE!

  • @Falconpunch82 Killing is killing someone against their will. Just like Rape is having sex with someone against their will.

    All he did was help people die with ease. Rather then having them suffer till they die, like they were going to either way.

    Why bring hope to the un-cureable?, Death is a matter of Acceptance, and that's what he helped people do. Accept their death, just like you should when your time comes.

  • @Cityslept - Well Said.

  • @Falconpunch82 He never killed anyone, he simply helped them out of their misery. I can only hope assisted suicide is the law of the land someday.

  • @Shelby596 i don't understand your unwarranted admiration for this sick man...

  • @Falconpunch82 It's simple. I euthanized my dog because I refused to let her suffer, why would I want my family and myself to suffer and suffer? The only reason to think it's wrong is if you are a religious zealot, and I'm not. I don't believe in heaven and hell and I have no fear of death. I fear suffering and I should have the right to decide for myself when I want to leave this world and I should have the option of my doctor helping me to achieve that.

  • @Shelby596

    "For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

    When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

    Must give us pause ?"  -Hamlet

    Basically, what do you think lies beyond the grave that could be any better than the pain you experience? Religious or not, the fact is nobody can ever know for sure what waits for us when we die, and to pretend as if you do not fear the unknown is absurd.

  • @Falconpunch82 I'm not the one pretending to know what happens after. I'm a mere human, I am not privy to such things, but I'll tell you what: I don't believe in a stupid book written by a bunch of men thousands of years ago, I don't believe in heaven and hell, I don't believe Athena sprang fully formed from Zeus' forehead, either. I do believe what I KNOW: People shouldn't suffer for months only to die in pain, THAT ..... I KNOW!

  • Comment removed

  • No matter what you think about Jack, u gotta admit hes pretty funny!

  • ok so i aint religious which means i have a mind of my own yayy! not to throw shots an anyone i mean... just cuz ur religious dont mean we cant be friends... atleast not in my mind... u know why? cuz i have my own mind! its a great thing! only problem is ppl in the world are hypocrytical and irrational and this man... he should be a god for what he did not stoned like a criminal! how blinded some r not to see his brave attempts to fight for his belief... its a shame and im losing hope in life...

  • finally an ARMENIAN 

  • @soccerpimp3825 So am I!

  • @soccerpimp3825 Armenians forever haha!

  • Al Pacino.Love you because u act so well,you are magnificient!

    It's just ...so sad...The true from this movie...is..so...:(sad

    I'm thinking...what We ,your fans must do to see you?Shake the hand with you..and..:)

    Just meet you as an human:D

  • My only control mechanism for not punching religious fundies in the mouth is the desire to not spend time in jail.

  • a wonderful film

  • kevorkian is armenian?

  • @eduard198807 yes sir lol

  • I admire the real deal....Jack.

    Not some actor who PLAYS Jack.

  • I completely agree with Dr. Kevorkian. People should be able to choose how they die. If I was suffering from some kind of disease or condition, I would want a choice on how I would go.

  • I love his quote. "We came from nothingness, was that so bad?" So true!

  • god, how i love this man! the only doctor willing to help my son die, when he so gravely suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease and became a human mummy! it's about time someone did a film on him, thank you HBO. i love you, jack, for helping my son in 1995. god bless you and my son, Nicholas Loving! Carol Loving, Author of My Son, My Sorrow: The Tragic Tale of Dr. Kevorkian's Youngest Patient.

  • great movie... Jack is a hero!

  • ahhhh DAMN IT,,why did you wake up Al Pacino?i think he was having a good nap LOL

  • I think dr. death is a pretty cool guy. eh mercy kills his patients and doesnt afraid of anything.

  • @saddleshoe Why? When my mom was on a ventilator and could not speak I had 2 choices change her code or take her off the machine. I turned off the machine so I could be there with her even though she did not know who I was. I did what kevorkian did.

  • @theenforcer1977

    agreed. saddleshoe would have a different perspective if it were one of their own loved ones. each of us has the right to make our own exit on this planet, without the interference of doctors or law enforcement.

  • It is the "intelligensia", the doctors, and scientists, whose pleas are often heeded. The State and medicine has engendered a Therapeutic state, where the traditional notion of the contractual- consensual relationship of doctor and patient has been severely tested, and where freedoms are being eroded, all in the name of greater medical control a well-meaning transgressions by the state AND medicine! Why such measures of control over one's person? What is to become of the ethics of medicine?

  • The one and only! Long Live Dr. Kevorkian!

  • i just saw the newest hbo special called KEVORKIAN which is about jack's run for congress last year and it really gets into a lot more about his life.

    i've loved and supported this man for two decades and counting. i love this man - he is a human being after my own heart - in every way.

  • damn this looks engrossing

  • may the best man win..........Jack Kevorkian. i love you Jack

    greetings from Canada

  • The man deserved a Nobel Peace prize, not a prison sentence.

  • @liberal4ever Exactly, we allow child rapists to roam the streets, but this man goes to jail. the absurdity!

  • Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a great man ! he speaks his mind and stands up for his rights also he aint scared of anyone .... if u dont like him its prolly because ur a COWARD

  • @D0CKTORDEATH exactly!
