The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Medical, suggested by Denise Garcia. Today’s recommendation by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: In Jim’s room you can see the brand sign (logo) of Village Roadshow Pictures as part of the decorations inside the room. Specifically, the stairway leading to his bed is vaguely in the shape of the logo.

The screenplay for this film was featured in the 2007 Blacklist.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Gisela: “We all know the frustration, if machines are designed in a way, that they cannot fulfill our specific wishes. Here it’s a question of life and death.”
