great fatherly love

I didn't read the introduction before watching it, just because I saw two actors that I liked. At the time, I thought it would be a comedy, but when the film started with 'inspired by true events', I had a hunch that it would be a touching story. Sure enough, I almost burst into tears several times in the film.
To be honest, the performance of the actors is not surprising, but it is indeed a good story. Seeing such a sincere story, I think it is difficult to criticize the other shortcomings of the film.
My favorite is John played by Brendan Fraser, but he is a great father, and I am really moved by his actions. I was thinking, if I were him, would I be willing to give up so much and pay so much for my children? I don't have children yet, so I can't give an accurate answer to this question. But if it were my parents, if my father was seriously ill, I would work hard and give up my career for his cure. I was a little hesitant. I think I may not be able to do it, I am really selfish!
But if it was my father, I know he would be like Johb in the film, he may not have the ability of John, but he will definitely do his best for me.
I have a good dad!
I'm reflecting, but now I still can't answer for sure, if I encounter the same situation one day, will I make the right choice.
But for sure, Dad, I hope you are always healthy!
Dad, I love you!

    When the life of one's own flesh and blood hangs by a thread. . . Only in the United States can such powerful real-life events continue to occur. This kind of movie has a story as the basis, and it's not too bad.

    The story itself should be very touching, but apart from the strong and beautiful eyes of the heroine, this film has no bright spots.

Extraordinary Measures quotes
