Ben France- The Jacket

I really enjoyed this movie and found it to be very powerful. An Idea that I found to be very interesting in the film was the idea of self-sacrifice. Throughout the entire film the movie focuses on the main character journey in finding out what happened to his life. And in the beginning he is going into the jacket to help himself and find out more about why he is going to die. Not until he realizes that he can change another persons life does he give up his persuit of saving his life, he sacrifices his own life to help another and that is a powerful concept. He chooses to not go back and change is outcome but to make the girls life end up better. A key concept to understand is that death is enveitable and we can not change that fact but what we can change is how we impact others while we are still alive.
