How many people have given up on friends they have talked with for many years for a job in a different place?
How many people have paid most of their parents' savings for living in the city?
How many people have given up spending the New Year with their parents and family in order to stick to their jobs?
Of course, there are still some people who don’t hesitate to give up their only chance to survive when their loved ones are in danger.
It is not difficult to do the above. After all, when we are sacrificing money, time, love, and life, we get academic progress, job promotion, and living space, and we protect our loved ones.
However, when you want to protect something that is not directly related to you, but lose all your wealth, good career prospects, and family happiness, will you still be so reluctant to hesitate?
I believe that 99% of the people in this world will be shaken. However, there was one person who did not. He bravely stood up and guarded their sons and husbands for countless mothers and wives.
This person is Bennett Oamaru. For the health of football players, the neuromedical expert played by Will Smith chose to fight the National Football League to the end.
The movie "Concussion" is adapted from the article "Game Brain" published on "GQ" by Jeanne Marie Laskas in 2009.
Bennett Oamaru, a neurologist, played by Will Smith, is a new immigrant from Nigeria. He is engaged in autopsy work and has received a very good education. He has many degrees in medicine, economics and management, law, MBA and so on. Undoubtedly, he is a very smart scientist and artist. He leads a simple life of a high-level elite. Apart from going to work to dissect corpses, he spends all his time studying and doing research. He believed in God and went to church once a week.
When dissecting Mike Webster, the greatest football center in American history, he found that football players are prone to a chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can cause the player to have suicidal thoughts. He decided to make the results of this research public. However, this study was strongly denied by the National Football League and was also misunderstood by American fans.
Reluctantly, Bennett Oamaru continued to study while embarking on the road of confrontation with the National Football League with the former team doctor of the Boston football team. In order to maintain the tens of billions of dollars in the football market, the National Football League strikes Bennett Oamaru at all costs in an attempt to prevent him from revealing the truth. Insulting him, investigating and supporting his boss, threatening him to lose his job, facing the possibility of returning to Nigeria, causing him to lose all his savings to buy a wedding house, and even sending someone to follow his pregnant wife, leading to a miscarriage... …In the end, Bennett Oamaru had to leave Boston and went to the West Coast.
However, his persistence and struggle did not stop. America is his dream, and insisting on the truth is his belief. Love has given him strength. In the face of doubts and threats, he moves forward firmly.
A few years later, more and more professional players suffered from Alzheimer's disease in their middle age, and committed suicide in decadence. This has attracted the attention of players and fans.
He finally stood in front of the media and the public, telling everyone the truth. This man who has gone through vicissitudes and winds and rains, finally no longer as cold as an artist and a scientist, but with an understanding of football and a love for family, telling everyone how to protect the football that he loves.
Because of his outstanding research results and a strong sense of civic responsibility, he finally became an honorary citizen of the United States. His faith finally gained recognition.
