This is an excellent video. “Me Before You” was written by a woman who, by her own admission, never even interviewed or researched an actual tetraplegic person! It’s utter schlock, and really a missed opportunity. There are so many interesting, dramatic, poignant and REAL stories of actual people who became paralyzed, only to move on despite the heartbreak. I know about fifty tetraplegic people, and all of them have an interesting story to tell, as there is a lot of comedy to be found within tragedy. It is a difficult thing to overcome, but the vast majority just face it instead of giving up. Thanks for ripping it to pieces, just as it deserved 😬
Meat Garfield - I myself was paralyzed in my late 20’s when someone rear-ended my vehicle while I was stopped at a red light (they were going ~55mph); I am tetraplegic, and pretty similar to the character in Me Before You, medically (except I have a bit more arm strength than him). As a result, I’ve worked as a board member with some paralysis and spinal cord injury related non-profit organizations in the past. I met all kinds of cool people through that, mostly guys because SCI’s are predominately male; Dudes who were paralyzed by IED’s, gunshots, skiing, surfing, mountain climbing. All of them overcame the pain and anguish of that life changing event, and continue to adapt and evolve as people to the challenges tetraplegia brought to their lives. We all had a good laugh at Me Before You, such a silly, trite caricature of a life that is much more complex and nuanced than the movie makes it out to be...
I have ME/ CFS and I was in a wheelchair for a time and yeah, it's not great but most of my discomfort came from the world not being wheelchair accessible. Otherwise I had my freedom back. I'm glad people collectively mocked Me Before You. Usually it's only disabled people calling out the ableism in the media. I'm looking at you Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.
Connor Coulson what is ME or CFS? I can’t think of anything that fits those acronyms; could you educate me? And I’ll need to look into the Curious Incident, etc thing, I don’t think I’ve come across that before.
@@B3ARCAT myalgic encephalomyelitis, most of us don't like calling it chronic fatigue syndrome because it doesn't sound nearly as devastating as the illness really is. And Curious Incident is pretty unpopular amongst the autism community because the protagonist is a psychopath with murderous fantasies, the author never did any research on autism and now due to backlash claims the character was never meant to be autistic at all. Convenient. It's still required reading in a lot of schools unfortunately.
The girl I was dating when this movie came out broke up with me right before it came out. I remember thinking the brightside was I wouldn’t have to see this shit movie. Then we got back together about 3 months later, just in time for her to rent it. And it was worse than I thought it was going to be.
Never get back together with a woman unless it's purely for sex. Your "gf" was getting railed by ten different guys in that time. I hope to God you don't lick her pussy.
"she puts his feet on fire" is funny cause in France there's a movie bout a cripple where the non cripple guy put boiling water on his legs to see if the other guys feel it and it's shown as wholesome lmao
I'm from Charlottesville VA where Reeve's had his bad 🐴 accident. He was in a ICU & many locals thought he would be dead ☠️ in 24-48hr. Christopher Reeve was fortunate to be close to UVA medical center 🏥 & get excellent trauma care.
shots where everyone/thing in the frame is totally still and the only thing moving is a guy in a motorized wheelchair - I don’t know why but these always crack me up so much haha
The air swallowing thing is called glossopharyngeal breathing (if I’m remembering my education from rehab correctly). I had to learn it, and it’s actually very difficult to get the hang of, and a fairly small percentage of people are able to perform the maneuver. Thankfully, I don’t need it as I recovered a bit more even though my injury was fairly high (C4 A.S.I.A. A/complete spinal Cord Injury - The most severe type), so I don’t need a ventilator. But for the people who need it, if they can learn to do it, it can save their life if they have a ventilator failure! 🐟 🐠
"Have to admit I'm a little bit freaked out myself right now" Yeah, I’m in kind of a weird mood myself. I was on my way down here, I stopped at a convenience store. I’m waiting in line to pay and the guy in front of me puts down a dozen donuts, two big bags of Doritos, one of those cheap-o one-gallon bottles of the generic brand fruit punch and a nasty old rotting banana. He turns to the clerk and says to him “my girlfriend just had an operation; she can only eat certain things.” I look at him and I go “yeah right, what did she have a bong hit transplant?”
she killed that shit. that movie is the best fucked up stupid romcom ever. emilia is truly a god wading through cow manure. bro i cried. and she cucks Neville from harry Potter
@@DannyWilliamH There's a LOT of contenders for that title, so I wouldn't be so sure she manages to win the title. She's overrated as fuck though, that's for sure.
Question, does anyone remember a movie where a climber who lost his wife on a climb and is now paraplegic goes on a nature retreat. He goes there with his Male nurse and he has to end up fighting sasquatch.
The movie Radio is my favorite disability movie. Cuba went full out disabled for that one. My friends and I watched that one stoned as fuck and we got maybe 30 seconds in and we're already dying laughing. We tried guys.
@@Looneyboy Do it man. There's a guy who does the same for Bill Burr's podcasts and they're really good. Just find some really funny conversations and copy what this guy does
Good Lord, my English language teacher in our Finnish equivalent of middle school decided to show our class Me Before You. It wasn't terrible, but it sure want good either. Still got to see a movie on class, so I'm not complaining.
Anyone english in any film always lives in a giant manor house or castle, there are a handful of people who live like this, i have never met one or know anyone who has met one
I told my kids when they were toddlers they were to be harvested at a certain point. My daughters therapist called the other day to ask me what tf i meant😂
I watched Me Before You because I found the girl to be insanely fucking hot. Literally the only thing I remember about it is that the Girl had a passion for leggings or something.
People negotiating with their codependent parents over their suicide is something I've heard about often from other psych patients. I kinda worry about a toxic positivity where it's considered shocking to suggest someone might want to die after something like a crippling injury, I've met people who've performed suicidality for years on end over way less
What would be good is if he said he would kill himself metaphorically and then be reinvented as a new person and then stood up to reveal he had been faking it the whole time.
How was that guy going to kill himself? Most options involve being able to move. Was he gonna drive off a cliff? No because if he had a hard driving through a patch a dirt I doubt he'll make it that far to a cliff. Were his parents gonna do it?

What I learned from those movies is that if you're handicapped, it really, really helps finding love when you're good-looking.
And money...you need money too
@@khristtox Ah yes of course.
I’m not rich but I painted my wheels gold and I’m cleaning up 🤫 🦽
thats pretty much all of life. Just be conventionally attractive
@@Nantosuelta Yep that's accurate.
It's ok disabled people. You too can find love. So long as you're also handsome and filthy rich.
That's what I wondering, what if you're broke and paraplegic in America? They just roll you into the streets?
That sounds more like the formula for becoming an international super villain.
that's the moral of the film yes indeed
And somehow in shape despite being literally immobile.
Or a woman
In every disability movie where the disabled person is paralyzed from the neck down that person has a shaving scene.
Tell us more tom
They never show the ball shaving tho
True.
yeah where is the ass wiping scene?
Meeminator disabled people dont shit they store it in there legs
Editing in these have gotten better since the start, the timing of the cuts lands better with the jokes, great job man these are really entertaining.
Yeah he can't be a regular lookin disabled guy. Gotta be a hottie
