My feelings after watching this movie can no longer be simply described by the word moving, but more shocking! Shocked! Shocked! For the great fatherly love! Also for every life that strives to live!
Arthur, an ordinary worker in a machinery factory, works hard every day to support his family. Although his life is not rich, as long as a person has enterprising spirit, he can hope to have a better life. Arthur and his wife Dennis have a 9-year-old Son Michael, the child is not only the crystallization of the happiness of the husband and wife, but also the driving force for a family to make progress and the spiritual sustenance of the adults, so although life is a little difficult, this family of three also has their own small happiness, life can be peaceful Passed by peacefully. Unexpectedly, Michael suddenly fell ill, and his life was at stake, which made this warm and stable family shattered.
During the period of Michael's hospitalization, the film can clearly see the discrimination against the poor by the hospital's top management. Yes, society is divided into classes. It is the same everywhere, and it is so realistic everywhere. As shown in the film, Michael must have a heart transplant in order to have any hope of survival, and his name must be on the list of people waiting for a transplant. Arthur cannot pay the high operation fee, so the hospital will Michael's name was removed from the list, Arthur went in and out of insurance companies to seek help, and raised money everywhere... Seeing this, many emotions such as anger, helplessness, anxiety, etc. burst out together, I couldn't help feeling, is it because the hospital's system is too rigid Yet? Or is it because these people in the hospital are already used to seeing life and death and are already numb? Or is it just because this society dislikes the poor and respects the rich? When I saw Turner, the attending doctor, laughing and flattering a rich man in a wheelchair discussing his inheritance, I deeply realized the meaning of the cold world! Some people say that God is fair. In fact, I want to say that the world is unfair. We should bravely admit and accept such injustice. Maybe some people think that I say this because I have a bad life, but it is not. A happy person also complains about the injustice of God, because there is always someone happier than him, a happy person is like standing in front of the sea, and there are people happier than him in the endless horizon. The unfortunate person seems to be standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down into a bottomless abyss!
If there is a class, there will be an element of injustice, and there is no escape from the one that should be faced! Just when the Arthur family was on the brink of despair, Arthur's reason told him that he was a father! He chose desperately to kidnap the attending doctor and some other medical staff. The moment he pulled out his gun, my reason told me that he had to do it! Yes, my sanity tells me that there is no sanity in such a situation, and I support him and worry about him at the same time! There is no way to do this. No one can watch their children die like that. People who are indifferent to a person's death are people who have nothing to do with him. This is human nature.
Of course, Arthur didn't want to hurt anyone, he just wanted his son to have a chance to live! He was a good criminal and a great father! There was a scene where he was on the phone with his son when he was almost shot. The tear gas fired by the director not only had an effect on the audience, but also made the plot better. This time, the hospital really planned to register Michael's name. It's on the list, and despite this, Michael doesn't have much time left, and the climax of the whole movie is when Arthur is going to kill himself so that Turner, the attending physician, will have his heart transplanted to his son! Seeing this, I think even if people's hearts are like iron, they should be melted by this earth-shattering father's love! What impressed me the most was the scene where Arthur left a will to his son. He asked his son to be a good person. If he had the ability, it would be better to live a prosperous life, because having a certain amount of savings would save a lot of trouble. He should love his future wife because she is the Princess....his heart will always be with his son. This clip is enough to make people cry, this love has far exceeded life and death. A father is the patron saint of a person's life!
On another level, I would like to talk about it from the perspective of life. Indeed, from the perspective of society, this film exposes and criticizes some of the shortcomings of the system and the weaknesses of human nature. From the perspective of family affection, father’s love is this The soul of the movie, the father's love that makes people see through at a glance, also directly hits the soul of the audience! From the perspective of life, how a person can live is more meaningful, not only to have a healthy body, but also to have a healthy mind. A healthy body makes people hopeful to live, and a healthy mind is Let this person live more valuable, only in this way, this person can be regarded as a truly healthy life! When you experience despair and decide to give up, think about those who are trying hard to live, they are living bravely for those who love themselves, and those who love us will always be with us.
Cherish life! Cherish those who love us! Take care of yourself, because every life is a continuation of every other life.

John Q quotes

  • [last lines]

    Mike Archibald: Dad! Thank you.

  • John Q. Archibald: [standing next to him] Just try to stay awake for a minute, son, I need to tell you a few things.

    Mike Archibald: [in a containment room inside the emergency room] Okay, Dad.

    John Q. Archibald: You always listen to your mother, understand? Do what she tells you to do. She's your best friend. Tell her you love her every day. You're too young for girls right now but there's gonna come a time, and when it does, you treat them like princesses, because that's what they are. When you say you're gonna do something, you do it. Because your word is your bond, son, that's all you have. And money, you make money if you get a chance. Even if you gotta sell out every once in a while, you make as much money as you can. Don't be stupid like your father - everything is so much easier with money, son. Don't smoke. Be kind to people. If somebody chooses you, you stand up, you be a man. And you stay away from the bad things, son. Please, don't be caught up in the bad things - there are so many great things out there for you. I'll never leave you. I'm always with you, right there

    [in your heart]

    John Q. Archibald: . I love you son.
