One of the best TV Dramas ever

This is one of the best TV dramas I have ever seen. Gary Cole plays a young man, who is paralyzed after an accident and can only talk and breath through a special construction. Once strong and sporty he feels so terrible now that he wants to die. Gary Cole, well-known from American Gothic and Midnight Caller, plays his part sensitive and emotional and makes this movie unforgettable.

excellent

I only saw this TV movie once, but I have never forgotten it. It was an extremely powerful portrayal of a physically challenged man who feels helpless and asks for only one thing: A switch installed so that he can turn off his life support if he wants to. Once the switch is in place, he realizes that he wants to live and begins to work with devices that will aid him in his daily living and work.

This film really should be out on DVD or video - it's a no miss. Gary Cole is his usual wonderful, no frills self in the role. I found this a very inspiring and informational film.

If you notice this in your TV listings, don't pass it up.
