He would be dead before they got there, and I believe he had a dnr already in place because of his friend. The research on box jellyfish didn't need to be shown. It wasn't silly it showed he had everything planned completely in order to save lives by sacrificing himself.

Also, what is so stupid about him killing himself with a jellyfish? If we are stating opinions here, then I feel that is a harsh opinion. Movies are supposed to be about art and jellyfish are like living art. I felt the movie was very poetic, sad, and a bit disturbing, but I get it. Not to mention, it was incredibly original. So he did it in a motel room, so what. There are no rules to committing suicide. Either the person doing so wants to send a message or not. How can you judge suicide? It is not for us to judge. As far as I am concerned if you want to have negative feelings about the movie the most I would say is the same thing I thought when I first saw it 3 years ago. They should have maybe had a disclaimer on it. I suffer from depression and have frequent suicidal ideations. I do not need any more ideas. Besides that, I can still appreciate the movie for what it is I just cannot watch it ever again. Thus, for as powerful as I found the movie to be, I give it a 10/10. <br />One last thought…I do have to admit that I really didn’t think about jellyfish much before the movie. However, I am now fascinated by them mainly because I love their dynamic. I find them beautiful, mesmerizing and yet they are deadly. Amazing when you think of the fact that there are so many things in our world that share the same attributes. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-72099269714956039252010-09-28T13:50:04.075-07:002010-09-28T13:50:04.075-07:00Just saw the movie on cable - it was ruined by the...Just saw the movie on cable - it was ruined by the jelly fish, if writers are going to put that in, they need to explain how a body full of the deadliest toxin could give organs to someone and they wouldn't die. I understand it wasn't a true story but that was stupid. Unless it's sci fi or action, it needs to be in the realm of the possible.<br />Even if he had killed himself in a way that would leave the organs useable, I doubt the ethics board would allow a transplant to be done from someone killed theirself to donate their organs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-80302560571035377272009-10-10T19:20:07.987-07:002009-10-10T19:20:07.987-07:00Actually, i love the ending with jelly fish and it...Actually, i love the ending with jelly fish and it is easy to explain everything why he did like that, and not in a different way. Everything was for a reason.<br />First, he used box jellyfish because it is the most dangerous animal in the whole world, it's venom is deadly to everyone. People usually die of heart failure, or drown of shock. <br />Second, bathtub of ice was used to keep body temperature low after death that organs would be useful. And one more reason why it was icy water is that the jellyfish would die to because it lives only in warm water, like for example around Australia or so.<br />SO, as i said everything was for a reason. And if most of the critics are not smart enough to figure it out, that is ridiculous. I believe that this movie was really good and worth better rating that it got, i would say 9/10 would be good.<br />That's only my 2 cent's<br />Peace <br />:)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215071430573597986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-87534499437041878162009-05-31T20:28:24.909-07:002009-05-31T20:28:24.909-07:00So how long did it take paramedics to figure out h...So how long did it take paramedics to figure out how to remove the jellyfish without getting stung?
