hopeless

In order to cure the Pompe disease of a pair of children, a father did not hesitate to abandon the existing stable life, go to the medical field to start a business, and finally overcome this problem. The American family film that is known for its tear-jerking and the setting of orphan disease is simply It is chicken soup for the soul to the point of fouling.

However, aside from this father and family, the image of this doctor, the gray-haired old man on the right in the title picture, is quite interesting: in his first appearance, he took over the The phone call from my son’s father, I think any audience may find it very strange, why not answer the phone well, and have to play with the phone line; the first time we meet, we leave each other out for an afternoon; Going to the bar to watch football, and being ridiculed by the running hall "I thought the doctor was your nickname", in contrast, even Kong Yiji in Lu Xun's writing probably had to give him three points. The reason behind this decadent appearance of life is easy to understand : I have been doing research in unpopular fields all the year round, with almost no support from colleagues or supervisors, and the research funding will be cut.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is really similar to the situation of orphan diseases. One is an unpopular disease, and no company is willing to invest money. Drug development; one is an unpopular research direction, and no school is willing to invest money in research theory. The difference is that it is impossible to choose whether to get sick or not. As for unpopular research, you can only bite the bullet and scold when you are irritable. , I thought that this thing would become popular back then, it was a fool.

In the field of science and technology, where everything was lost accidentally, this one in the movie succeeded in the end. Who knows how many failed cases fell in the dark? ? The character building of the doctor in this film is still very reflected. His long repressed life and two divorces made him get along very badly with other colleagues even if he was regarded as a backbone later. The author thinks that it is irrelevant to open a company by himself. Whether he can really find happiness in his work, whether he can face up to the trough in the research process, and whether he can calmly deal with the harshness of others is worthy of a book. If he is still so inferior and irritable It's really hopeless.
