Disease is a conspiracy of mind and body

Another heartfelt film by Robin Williams. Some doubt his experience, why did he cast him in several films? Such as "Good Will Hunting" and "Dead Poets Society".

This one is a little lower in comparison.

Maybe it's a true story, the plot is a little thin, and the narrative is not smooth enough. Legends can sometimes feel too far-fetched and unconvincing. The actor's skill is there, but he obviously doesn't care about this film.

What I agree with is thinking about the doctor-patient relationship. Inspired. What is the result? The pursuit of immortality is not the purpose of treatment, it is more important to help patients improve their quality of life. Living quality every day is clearly more valuable than living long.

Illness is the conspiracy of mind and body, not the wishful thinking of the body. Change must start from the heart.

Patch Adams quotes

  • Hunter Patch Adams: [to Carin] I love you not knowing how, why, or even from where.

  • Hunter Patch Adams: I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride. I love you because I know no other way then this. So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand. So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.
