You Don't Know Jack movie plot

Jack Kowokian is a retired doctor. Before he retired, he was a radical man and always made some crazy moves. Now, although he is retired, he is still actively involved in various medical problems, especially the use of medical methods to end the lives of some people suffering from incurable diseases. Kovokion calls this medical service, which is a A way to solve the suffering of patients.
This method is called " Euthanasia ". In the era when Kovokion implemented it, it was only a legal act in certain countries in Europe. In the United States, there is no law allowing Euthanasia to be implemented. In order to alleviate the patient's pain, Kovorkian decided to try Euthanasia's medical service himself. He designed and produced a set of intravenous injection device that could end the patient's life. Immediately afterwards, with the help of his friends, he began to implement Euthanasia services for patients in pain. However, his behavior was protested by some Americans, and conservative prosecutors also sued him to court.
At this time, a lawyer named Feige was willing to defend Kovokian for free. Because Kovokian recorded the patient's request for Euthanasia every time, his behavior can only be regarded as assisted suicide, not murder. In this way, Kovokian has been walking on the edge of law and morality. Soon after, the Michigan state government revoked his medical license, but he replaced the intravenous injection with poison gas and continued his service.
As his reputation grew, more and more people were looking for him to implement Euthanasia, and Kovokian's ambition gradually revealed-he wanted the public to fully recognize Euthanasia, and he wanted them to know that what he was doing was An epoch-making thing. At the same time, because of the defense of Kovokian, the lawyer Feige saved enough political capital for himself, and he began to run for parliament. Feige, who was on the stage, turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He said that he was firmly opposed to Euthanasia. Feeling that he was abandoned, Kovorkian decided to take the risk. He recorded his service to a patient in detail and made it public.

    The husband who used to fly fighter jets in the war and won a lot of glory, when he is now old and weak and dying, he can only say to his wife: "Thank you for giving me a wonderful life", and then simply open the poison gas valve and return He squeezed his wife's hands gently and carefully. At this time, the two carefully and hurriedly said to each other more than ten times: "I love you, dear," for fear that if they were slower, these two common words would never be said to each other again.

    Ever since the deep sea sleep, I couldn't help being interested in euthanasia. It's also the first movie I've seen that doesn't depict euthanasia from the patient's perspective. al showed the struggle and loneliness of Jack, the fighter, to the fullest. Of course, the director also gave him a great stage to play and inner driving force. The sensitive topic of euthanasia may really only be resolved by time like issues of race, homosexuality, etc.

You Don't Know Jack quotes

  • Dick Thompson: [Jack Kevorkian takes the stand, Thompson is the prosecutor] Can we all presume just for the hell of it that we are really in a courtroom, okay? That there is a judge and a jury and real witnesses?

    Jack Kevorkian: No, I will not presume. I refuse to presume.

    Dick Thompson: Can we presume that this is a real trial here?

    Jack Kevorkian: No, we can't. Because there's no law here. Am I wrong?

    Dick Thompson: You're wrong!

    Jack Kevorkian: Prove it. Cite to me one common law case of assisted suicide. One.

    Dick Thompson: I will ask the questions...

    Jack Kevorkian: Go ahead. I'm listening. We're all waiting.

  • Geoffery Fieger: The court of appeals' ruling just came in and they ruled in our favor. They said that the law was so poorly worded that it could not be upheld.

    Jack Kevorkian: Oh. Well, I'm glad to hear there's still some smart people in power left.

    Geoffery Fieger: That was the good news. They also ruled that there's no constitutional right to commit suicide...

    Jack Kevorkian: I take back what I just said.

    Geoffery Fieger: ...and that aiding in one falls under an old common-law definition of murder.

    Jack Kevorkian: Common law? What the hell is that?
