Q
Dad was in the hospital, very sick. Mom was still alive and was medical power of attorney, then my sister, then myself. My other sister was at the hospital and called the house one morning. I wasn't home; she asked my spouse who had medical power of attorney. My spouse didn't know. My spouse told me about this when I got home, and that my sister had already made the decision to stop any treatment. Does the hospital ask who has medical power of attorney? Don’t you need to sign a form to stop treatment?
A

I don’t know about any forms – that would have to do with the hospital’s internal procedures. However, the hospital must honor the medical power of attorney. If the sister who was at the hospital was not named in the document, the hospital should never have followed her instructions.

Watching this in high definition is a treat because of Anderson’s meticulous attention to detail:

The film follows three brothers—Francis (Owen Wilson), Peter (Adrien Brody), and Jack (Jason Schwartzman)—who haven't spoken since their father’s funeral. They reunite for a "spiritual journey" across India on a luxury train called the Darjeeling Limited .

Rolling Down the Tracks: A Revisit to Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

: The film is drenched in rich yellows, deep blues, and warm tans. Even the train cars were hand-painted with 900 individual elephants.

: Unlike many modern films, this wasn't shot on a studio set. Much of the filming took place on a real moving train in Rajasthan, India.

While they carry literal Louis Vuitton luggage (custom-designed by Marc Jacobs with artwork by Eric Chase Anderson), their real cargo is years of resentment and grief. The film’s famous penultimate scene, where they literally shed this baggage to catch a departing train, serves as a powerful visual metaphor for moving on. A Masterclass in Visuals and Color

If you just stumbled upon a 720p BluRay rip of The Darjeeling Limited , you’ve hit a visual goldmine. Released in 2007, this film marks a pivotal moment in Wes Anderson’s career—a vibrant, symmetrical, and emotionally messy journey through India that remains one of his most debated yet beloved works.
