1) I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was very deep and it was cool watching a movie in spanish. I understand why it won so many awards. I do think it was right for him to ask for assisted suicide. He had been paralyzed for 28 years already, and that was half his life. He had a lot of time to think and ponder. When he made his decision, he wanted everyone to go along with him and he didn't like it when the courts said no. I wasn't surprised that the courts said no because Ramon was setting the precedent for future cases, and the court wasn't ready to change the view on assisted suicide. When Ramon decided to continue to plead for assisted suicide, I wasn't surprised and even less excited when he decided to follow through with the poisoning. I support his decision and was happy to see him finally get what he wanted. I think that the friends who were willing to help him were good friends and truly loved him and wanted the best for him.
2) One main difference that I saw in The Sea Inside was that it showed his life in detail, and didn't really tell stories, whereas in Diving Bell, Bauby told random stories and occasionally went back and told other stories from earlier in life. Another difference was Bauby couldn't speak and Ramon could. I thought that The Sea Inside was more powerful because it showed all of his struggles and I seem to connect better to movies than books.
