When the "God of Medicine" detonated a social hot spot, another old movie was also pushed to the audience. That's right, this is "Dallas Buyers Club". Many film critics praised "Dallas Buyers Club" as China's "Dallas Buyers Club", so they reported curiosity and anticipation, and quickly found it before the effect of the drug god had dissipated. This reputation also exploded.
After watching "Club" because of "Medicine God", I had to compare the similarities and differences between the two, and briefly talk about my personal feelings.
The first is the similarity. Both of them have passed the bottom-level and marginal stories caused by terminal illnesses, reflecting some kind of contradiction between doctors and patients, and they are also stories of struggle for survival.
The difference is that, first of all, the "Drug God" put the master outside the patient circle, giving Cheng Yong a way to retreat halfway, and then resumed his old business without making a single penny, which made this outsider's image upgraded to a patient. savior-like existence. Uncle Wood is a patient. He doesn't want to retire, can't retire, and has no way out. The conflict between life and death is more intense, and his actions are more radical and unscrupulous.
Secondly, due to the national conditions, the "God of Medicine" did not touch on the more sensitive homosexuality and AIDS, but chose slow strangulation, a natural calamity that seems to have nothing to do with life style, avoiding the minefield and being closer to life. The conflict is compared to the "club" Slightly weaker but more able to resonate with domestic audiences.
In the end, the two also differ in their handling of the relationship between justice and events. One is happy, which gives people hope, and the other is sad, which is more profound. Generally speaking, each has its own merits. But as China's first film involving such a theme, I still want to say that this is a very good film, and I hope that more good works will appear in our field of vision one after another! thanks.
