Extreme Measures # 7

2007.06.03,

a young doctor on duty in the emergency room, Guy Luthan, admitted a homeless old man with weird symptoms one night. Although he tried his best to rescue him, he still did not help. Guy wants to figure out the cause of his death (go to Princeton, House will like you very much), but there are always people who obstructed him or even got jailed, lost his job and his doctor’s license, and finally found out that the medical expert Lawrence Myrick was Conducting medical experiments on nerve regeneration and tricking healthy homeless people into living subjects, but just when Guy is about to reveal the truth, he himself is in a huge crisis... The

movie itself is not very brilliant. At the same time, as a suspense drama, it is also quite satisfactory. From the perspective of the general audience, the film seems to be a bit more stable, with little rhythm change, and it is not easy to make people nervous.

But I... totally intoxicated in Hugh's blue eyes.

Wearing a white lab coat and a stethoscope, the pager in his pocket is beeping, and he runs everywhere when he is on duty. Although he is busy with his hands and feet, he still smiles and comforts the patient "you will be fine"—— God, you kill me!

The lawyers/prosecutors talking in court, the doctors who rescued the wounded in the emergency room, and the teachers who taught the profession before the podium are the most lethal role types for me. Considering my "uniform temptation", the doctor It is undoubtedly my "hardest hit area".

Besides, Guy is really painful. He is kind and has a good temper. He has persistence but is not persistent, so he can feel relieved wherever he is. In the end, Myrick's rhetoric about "doing big good and not sticking to small evils" is really powerful. I doubt that Guy will be persuaded, but his answer is unforgettable:

perhaps you're right. Maybe the people upstairs are really doing nothing; maybe they are dying for this world and doing a great thing; maybe they are really heroes. ... But this is not their choice, you have chosen this path for them. You did not choose your wife, your granddaughter, or recruit volunteers. You have chosen this path for them, and you have no right to do so. Because you are a doctor, because you have solemnly sworn an oath, because you are not God. So I don’t care if what you just said can be realized in your hands or if you can cure all the diseases on the earth. I only know that you tortured and killed those people upstairs. This is a blasphemy against your doctor’s vocation. I wish you to spend the rest of your life in prison. (Maybe you're right. Those men upstairs, maybe there isn't much point to their lives. Maybe they're doing a great thing for the world. Maybe they are heroes. But they didn't choose to be. You chose for them. You didn't choose your wife or your granddaughter. You did'nt ask for volunteers. You chose for them. And you can't do that. Beause you're a doctor. And you took an oath. And you 're not God. So I don't care if you can do what you say you can, or if you can cure every disease on this planet. You tortured and murdered those men upstairs. That makes you a disgrace to your profession.

This is a role that Hugh has rarely seen since more than 20 years in filming and is not a "British lover". It is a test of his acting skills-he passed.

First of all, it's like a doctor. I'm fed up with people who only show their personal charm, act like themselves, and have no sense of professionalism in the role. Fortunately, Hugh is not like that. He is busy writing records, standing in the consulting room and commanding certainty. Moved to receive the task of always running "I'm on my way", under the help of clothing and makeup, an emergency room working 90 hours a week, "strong labor" is pale and exhausted, but due to his duties, he is full of enthusiasm to treat illnesses and save people. The image is very lifelike.

Secondly, the character's spirit and psychology are well performed. Guy was really unlucky. He was murdered by people he respected, and deceived by people he trusted. He portrayed the helplessness, grievance, and anger to the core.

Gene Hackman is an old actor that I like quite a lot, but the role of Lawrence Myrick is very small and fails to provide him with enough performance opportunities, but it is also a qualified green leaf.

Jodie Trammel, who is a little ambiguous with Guy, is played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Fans of "Sex and the City" must be familiar with her.

Extreme Measures quotes

  • Jodie Trammel: [on betraying Guy for Myrick to help her brother] Because I was the one driving the car

  • Dr. Lawrence Myrick: I'm 68 years old, I don't have much time. Three years with a rat to get to a dog, and after five years - if I'm lucky - maybe I can work on a chimp? We have to move faster than that. I'm doing medicine here no one's ever DREAMED of! This is baseline neuro-chemistry, Guy!

    Dr. Guy Luthan: You're killing people.

    Dr. Lawrence Myrick: [Shrugs] People die every day. For what? For nothing. Plane crash, train wreck? Bosnia - pick your tragedy. Sniper in a restaurant, fifteen dead, story at eleven. What do we do? What do you do? You change the channel, you move on to the next patient. You take care of the ones you think you can save. Good doctors do the correct thing - GREAT doctors have the guts to do the right thing. Your father had those guts. So do you. Two patients on either side of the room - one a gold-plated cop, the other a maniac that pulled a gun on a city bus. Who do you work on first? You knew, Guy. You knew. If you could cure cancer by killing one person, wouldn't you have to do that? Wouldn't that be the brave thing to do? One person and cancer's gone tomorrow. You thought you were paralyzed. What would you have done to be able to walk again? Anything. You said it yourself. Anything. You were like that for... twenty four hours.

    [Puts his hands on Helen's shoulders]

    Dr. Lawrence Myrick: Helen hasn't walked for twelve years. I can cure her... and everyone like her. The door's open. You can go out there and... put a stop to everything and it'll all be over. Or we can go upstairs and change medicine forever. It's your call, Guy.

    Helen: [after a nervous pause] ... Guy?

    Dr. Guy Luthan: ...maybe you're right. Those men upstairs, maybe... there isn't much point to their lives. Maybe they are doing a great thing for the world. Maybe they are heroes.

    [Helen and Dr. Myrick look relieved]

    Dr. Guy Luthan: But they didn't choose to be. You chose for them. You didn't choose your wife... or your granddaughter... you didn't ask for volunteers. You chose for them, and you can't do that. Because you're a doctor. Because you took an oath. And you're not God. So I don't care, I don't care if you can do what you say you can. I don't care if you can find a cure for every disease on this planet! You tortured and murdered those men upstairs. And that makes you a disgrace to your profession. And I hope you go to jail for the rest of your life.

    [Helen begins to cry]

    Dr. Guy Luthan: ... I'm sorry.
