It was a heartbreaking movie. It made me thinking about these poor people whose life was taken from them by the disease. After a fit of hope the end seemed to me even more sad.
Leonard wanted to explain to the doctor what it’s like to be in his condition. The poem is about the panter in a cage whose situation is analogous to Leonard’s. He is behind “the bares” and for him the world doesn’t exist.
