I mean I get its a movie.
But if someone was paralyzed like him, you would think that despite his workouts - that he would have gained a little weight OR lost some muscle. no?
I was also thinking this, but yeah it's a movie and everyone has to look amazing.
shareThat was actually one of my biggest issues with the film, they had Will looking too good throughout.
shareI thought this initially as well, but perhaps this was a part of the tragedy as a whole. Here is this good-looking, charming, witty young man who happens to be paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. That's from the outside. On the inside, Will (in Will's mind) is a beautiful wilting flower never to regain its bloom. He'll never walk again, he'll never have sex again, he'll never be the man he used to be. In Will's look of himself he's a nuisance, he's helpless, his independence has been taken away from him. And for someone who was as active as Will was before the accident, the quality is life has greatly diminished--to a point not worth living in his mind.
So it kind of helped me to understand the kind of pain Will was really in to see this otherwise good-looking, smart, funny guy who has this pretty girl wanting to be with him still want to die.
So maybe that's why he kept his looks in the movie. But then again it's just a movie.
