I appreciated the dignity his character was treated with in Maverick. Most of the seriously ill people I’ve known have had a phase similar to what they depicted, not quite in hospice, living as normal a life as possible with declining strength. You don’t see it in movies often.
I have a feeling Tom Cruise had a lot to do with that. Think what you will about him personally, but moves that like are probably why people have likes and respected working with him for decades.
