Good movie, but I think Jane Fonda overacted in her part. melodramatic to the max.... the anti-war aspect was not lost on me either. i am personally familiar with war and as anti-war as anyone you will ever meet...gimpy snakeye

Got to give Avatar a mention, wheelie character in a main role, all be it he is a computer generated green thing for most of the movie.
Impossible only describes a problem that needs viewed from a different perspective

what about Blanche in "What ever happened to Baby Jane" Bette Davis
The line 'If I wasn't in this chair you wouldn't treat me like this ' is priceless.
and the reply 'But you are blanche' is pure evil ! lol

Agreed interesting heart wrencher even for a mere male, however the thing I found interesting was the 50's treatment of disability, it was hidden as much as possible within the film.

Not a movie..but the show Private Practice on ABC has a character in a wheelchair (Dr. Fife). I read that the actor-Michael Patrick Thornton is really in a chair and suffered a spinal stroke when he was 22. He's also done stage work in Chicago as well.
Movies- I agree with the rest..Affair to Remember, Forrest Gump, Avatar, oh and for those Twilight movie fans..Jacob Black's dad is in a wheelchair.

Forrest Gump! Lt. Dan FTW!! ^_^
Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.

The Waterdance is a great movie about being paralyzed. It's one that most people don't know about.
