Quadriplegic author is furious his book was included in Me Before You
Francesco Clark’s autobiography, Walking Papers, which follows his life after an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down, is featured in a key scene in Me Before You. Clark says he was never asked or told his book would be included. He and many other disability advocates are railing against the film because of its ending.
It’s a movie by an able-bodied person about a disabled person of 2 years choosing the kill themselves and give everything they own to an able bodied person they’ve known for 6 months. This decision hinges on the fact that this able bodied person can “be happy” with their able bodied partner when the disabled person is finally gone
The actor who plays the disabled person is able bodied.
The entire plot of the movie revolves around how being disabled affects able bodied persons.
The lead actor did an AMA and refused to take any questions from disabled persons.Do not see this movie. It is horrible and truly a hot mess of a film. Go see Deadpool again instead.
Shoutout to @fuckyesdeadpool for all the info.
The author, Jojo Moyes, also admitted in an interview that she’s never met a
quadriplegic in her life, sooo…
