Good point

From the Washington Times:

"[Christopher] Reeve, who died last October, vowed gamely that he would walk again. Shortly after the accident — after beating back thoughts of suicide — he said, 'There'll be a lot of nice years ahead. The only limits you have are those you put on yourself.'

"There were nine years ahead. Nine years of dogged usefulness.

"Mr. Reeve's against-the-odds spirit is decidedly absent in a pair of movies that coincidentally deal with spinal cord injuries."

There were many things on which I disagreed with Christopher Reeve, but the Times is right -- you have to give him credit for that much. Especially in light of the movies that the article goes on to discuss.

WARNING: Major spoilers ahead, for one well-known recent movie and one obscure recent movie, for those who want to read the full article.
