Goofs:

Anachronisms: In a scene that takes place prior to 1994, the camera pans to show a patient's personal artifacts and photos on the wall. Among these there is a postcard with the ocean liner Queen Mary 2, but in reality this ship did not exist until 2004.

Quotes:

Lynn Mills:Have you no religion? Have you no God?
Jack Kevorkian:Oh, I do, lady, I have a religion, his name is Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach. And at least my God isn't an invented one.

what an excellent film

Excellence! What a great production! All the way with the acting,writing,directing,cinematography,music and editing.All superb. I'm just happy how compalling and how well-thought this movie was. It takes you to a man's story about life and death and how it all goes down when the life turns its back on people and how different people respond to them. The thing that really captivated me was that how people's reactions and choices differed from each other in this movie.It reminded me of all the same things that are happening around me.Wel...I've never been a big Pacino fan but man..how wrong was i! What else to say?! It's just great.Please see it.
