What kind of idiot...
would believe a diagnosis of 90 minutes left in your life? How? How could one know that? Is Robin Williams supposed to be some sort of retard?
shareSeriously. It's really a weak, pathetic premise to base an entire film on. This film is going to sink as soon as it hits the theaters.

The doctor's word is the most trusted and relied upon ever, since doctors deal in matters of health and thus of life and death. But doctors are people too, who abuse this right of theirs once in a while, as seen.
But it seems the story doesn't end there, as he finds out she was lying to him near the end of the film, and then things should get interesting.

Really? If a doctor tells you have 90 minutes to live you don't start asking:
How do you know that?
No seriously how do you know that? Is there some sort of chart that scales how much death I have in me?
Did this result come from a machine or is this your exact professional opinion?
What is the machine called that estimates how long I have to live? Obviously a Death Clock but I'm not sure thats the best choice from a medical marketing standpoint.
Am I going to get weak during the next 90 minutes, or am I all of the sudden going to die like someone just performed the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique on me?
But really I need to know, how do you know that?

Wouldn't you trust a doctor enough to trust what they say?
Have you never seen a doctor and received a diagnosis?

please tell me you're kidding. you'd seriously believe your doctor if s/he told you you had 90 minutes to live? LMAO. share

No, i wouldn't, simply becouse it's common *beep* sense that there's no such diagnosis as "you're gonna die in 90 minutes". If they know you're going to die in 90 minutes (which again is impossible, unless you're standing there with a fatal injury), they're already fighting for you life, and not talking to you like friends while sitting in a chair. share
You have to be stupid as *beep* to believe something like "you have 90 minutes of life". So I guess Robin's character was downright, rock-hard stupid.
shareIt's not like she said he has 90 minutes to live without any context. He has a brain aneurysm, so yes, being told he has 90 minutes to live isn't outrageous. You can tell how long someone would live based on the rate of bleeding and 90 minutes could be a realistic time frame.
shareNO, if a doctor told me I had 90 minutes to live I would, most definitely not waste time asking stupid questions!!
I'm sorry, I wasn't aware this is the Internet BOOK Database.
He didn't believe her at first. His narration said that after a while it began to take on weight. Then the story wasn't so much about the ninety minutes as it was about what he should be doing with his life.
He was a rather volatile chap who spent a lot of time reacting, and not thinking things through (he used anger as an escape). He was also a serious pessimist so it wasn't such a stretch to think he could take her word for it. He might have even taken her word for it out of spite, just because deep down he knew she couldn't be that accurate.
He did have a condition that meant he could go at any time though. So yeah, with his temper, ninety minutes probably wasn't out of the question.
I choose to believe what I was programmed to believe
bursting appendix.
But obviously you are not a trusting guy. by your avatar, i can see you are possibly the kind of guy who dates women that leave him unable to buy a pack of cigarettes without running into 10 guys she has had relations with....
Were you the more trusting sort, like the kind to remember to bring the rope, just in case there will be some charlie bronson stuff, you might believe a doctor, a trusted medical professional when they tell you 90 minutes till checkout.
Anyway, Catch you on the flip side.
I'd have been humored if the movie was 90 minutes long. :)
