摘要

In the movie Amour, Haneke explores aging, illness, and end-of-life care with its complexities. Through the poignant story of Anne, who suffers from a debilitating stroke, and her husband Georges, the film raises the questions about dignity, autonomy, and the limits of love. With Anne’s condition deteriorating, the emotional toll on caregivers and the shifting dynamics within families become apparent. The final chapter of that “love story” is a controversial act between euthanasia and mercy, challenging viewers to reflect on the moral and professional boundaries of palliative care. With Amour, healthcare professionals are invited to consider the psychological, social, and ethical dimensions of terminal illness, that affect not only the patient but caregivers as well.
