How far does the movie go? Does it show the whole scene from the play, like with all of Gordon's part? I know that part of the song is on the cd, but is that all?

Yeah, the scene is there (worded a little differently) but as dialouge up until "look i find some of what you teach..."

One thing I love about Life Support in the movie is that it acts as a sort of checkpoint throughout the timeline of the plot. Both "Life Support" and "Will I?" take place at Life Support meetings, but scenes from meetings over the course of time fade in and out in the second half of the movie, too. It's a lot more realistic and helps the progression of illness to be such as well than it is on stage, and it's very powerful.

I don't know if anyone else felt this way, but this morning I was thinking about the Life Support scenes in general and I got a bit of an empty feeling, like I didn't see nearly enough of these scenes. I wanted to know more about these people. I wanted to know their back story and what their lives were like. And then it dawned on me that I felt this way because I had grown so attached to these characters, just like I was attached to the main cast. I'm wondering if anyone else felt like this and had considered it one of the flaws they had with the movie?
