Filmed in 2002, the film "On the Brink" tells the story of a tragedy that occurred in the United States in the era without universal health insurance. The plot of the film is very similar to real events that have happened in many places. When his son was seriously ill but couldn't take out 250,000 for the operation, his father JohnQ loved his son eagerly. When all kinds of financing and even pleading were not helpful, he finally took the risk and took the doctor and some patients as hostages and confronted the police. He claimed that the hospital must put his son's name on the list of heart transplant operations, otherwise the hostages will be killed. This film is starring Oscar-winning black actor Denzel Washington. It is not known whether Obama has seen this film (it is very likely to have seen it), but at least the system flaws reflected in the film were finally passed by Obama through unremitting efforts. solved. Obama’s success proves that even with the opposition of a huge middle class and capitalists, the people at the bottom of American society still have the ability to influence the formulation of national policies.

    He hesitated for a long time between three-star and four-star. There is nothing to say about the commonly used sensational tactics of American films, mainly because they can't agree with his father's approach. There are not so many miracles. If you really commit suicide and give your son your heart, even if your son is healthy, he will be sad to live for his father all his life.
