In addition to being moved, there is also a hint of coolness...

"The Price of Love" was also translated into "Good Medicine"


Late at night, I watched this movie alone.



I was moved...



It wasn't some sensational tears that moved me, but the little girl who walked through the gate of hell - Megan.



Meghan has only been able to sit in an electric wheelchair because of Pon's disease (myasthenia) since childhood, but the cute thing about the child is that she is a child.



There is no imagined self-pity and self-abandonment, because it is a child, still under the wings of the parents, and because it is an American child, you can use a sound insurance system to support your recovery process.



Because she is a child, she likes dolls, pink, and even sprinting---using an electric wheelchair to race against other people~~



Megan has a pair of very good parents, her father is diligent and motivated, a top student at Harvard, and an executive in a pharmaceutical company. . In order to cure Megan and his younger brother, he did not hesitate to give up his career, and cooperated with a professor to develop new medicines for the treatment of diseases.



In the process, nature struggled.



My concern was whether the father was shaken by the difficult situation.



Well, what I am satisfied with the film is that the father is also a real person, and he has been shaken. Does he accept that this disease is a terminal illness and spend more time with the child to walk the rest of the way? Or will you continue to spend all your money and go all out to develop new drugs with your professors?



The shaking process, I try to understand with the heart of a mother. I don't think I have his tenacity and persistence... I'm ashamed...



The person who finally moved me was that weird professor, played by Harrison Ford. Not handsome, but very cool.



Professor, an intellectual after all, immersed in his own research results, not concerned with the operation of the company or the timetable for the launch of new drugs.



But under the pressure of funds, he could only bite his teeth and swallow it. What moved me was that after facing the father's "betrayal" as a last resort, he could understand the father, which is really worthy of my tribute!



Touching, no matter what, is only the emotional level...



This film is based on real events, I believe, without a doubt.



Think about it, what would happen if this happened in China?



First of all, no matter how successful the father is in his career, without the national insurance protection, he cannot afford the reality of having two children with Ponzi disease at home;



secondly, the father gave up his career for the sake of the children and devoted himself to the unknown. , This is definitely a very, very big challenge for conservative and moderate Chinese men;



also, professors and scientists, in order to insist on their own theories, disarm on many issues, just to prove that their theories are ultimately correct.



Finally, clinical trials of new drugs. In order to avoid suspicion and avoid conflicts of interest, the company had to fire the father before conducting clinical experiments on the two children. Ha, in China, it's just the opposite. Only insiders can enjoy the latest and greatest medical outcomes.



so, in addition to being touched, there is only a hint of coolness... In this cold night...
