Watch one of these films and then discuss anyone of these “dying and death” representations as presented in movies or plays such as:
Bringing Out the Dead
Angela’s Ashes
Beaches
Philadelphia
Terms of Endearment
Wit
Evan Mayday’s Good Death
Address the following questions if pertinent to the film you watched:
What were the causes of death?
Where did people die?
Who cared for the dying?
Who was present at the time of death?
How did the significant other person respond?
How did the community respond?
What expectations or beliefs were associated with dying and death?
How did people cope with loss?
Envision yourself as one of the characters in the film, and, according to their personal or professional (eg. the nurse in: “WIT”) expectations about death:
Dying well
Bad death
Good death
Sad death
