He stood up again, that's the whole point of this movie. I don't think Brendan should have received an Oscar for this. It was only watchable because of his comeback to the movie industry again. But his acting was flawless. I couldn't understand the pain and weeping over a toxic daughter who actually wants his father to die and still came over for her own benefit. A dying obese man could ask for just some few moments with his loved ones. But its not worth it if they don't really love him. It wasn't at all emotional or eye opener. I would have rated a lot less if it wasn't for him. Even his care giver was much more interesting than her daughter.

Its understandable that the movie is almost 3 hour long, and if you don't like it then there are 2 reasons

1) you already know the history and expected something more well written and scripted that you are not delivered and its understandable. But let me assure you, the rest of world who didn't know the detail is quite horrified to get a glimpse of the ending.

2) you are trash watcher who would rather finish a season of "little things" than watch a 3 houuuur movie. That's why its "boring" to you.
