Unresting love is in your left atrium and is with you.

Even in March, the weather in the south is still between a whole day of gloom and a short bright. Everything on a cloudy day is sunk in huge shadows, and all the colors are blurred, softened and black-and-white. There are strong winds. Huhu echoed in his ears, with an aggrieved gesture. The streets gradually became empty, pedestrians hurried home, and the vehicles on the viaduct roared and disappeared at the end. Zebra crossings, billboards, phone booths, streetlights, these things all sank and stayed in place to watch the slow decay of the city, before the twilight fully settled. And in such a time period, on the seat by the window, which is full of strong winds in the passage, I slowly write such words. To John Q, to the man who committed suicide with a pistol to his head and had a heart transplant to his failing heart son, father.

Such a father image is not immediately established at the beginning of the film. The technique is like building a castle by the seaside in summer, filling it up slowly with one hand and one hand, with little worry, little happiness, little sadness, and little anger. There's no denying that I love Denzel. From The Bone Collector to Man on Fire to Training Day and He Got Game, watch it one by one, watch his beard stubble, watch him grin. Although my classmates repeatedly expressed the opinion that "his acting is poor", I still love him as always. He is faithful to every character, gangster, bodyguard, father, policeman... tepid, playing every role slowly. When you watch him you think he is not good enough, but after watching you still miss his behavior. Just like the same food, it can be called excellent if it can keep the fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Such love, the love of parents for their children can always mobilize people's emotional taste buds well. I still remember that my father would get up in the middle of the night, and after smoking dry cigarettes on the balcony, he would go in to help me check the quilt and mosquito nets after passing by my room; With tiny water droplets. When they are all magnified by the camera, the sense of strength will instantly swallow up all your reluctance, your little stubbornness, your little rebellion, and just cry like a child again.

And I still remember my parents crying out loud in that bleak evening at my grandmother's funeral.
You can never forget these loves. They are the tiny blood vessels in your weakening heart, delivering nutrients that never stop.

    The plot is very touching, if the ending is not so good, it would be better

John Q quotes

  • Employee Manager: [in his office] Your policy has changed, Mr. Archibald.

    John Q. Archibald: [sitting in front of him] Changed to what?

    Employee Manager: Yeah, we recently switched carriers from a PPO to a HMO. It's a less expensive policy, but unfortunately, there are some restrictions.

    John Q. Archibald: What kind of restrictions?

    Employee Manager: Here's how it works: Non-management part-time employees, such as yourself, only qualify for second tier catastrophic coverage.

    John Q. Archibald: No, no. I'm not part-time. I'm full-time. It's just slow right now.

    Employee Manager: Sure, but your coverage is based on hours worked and like I said, you only qualify for second tier. And that has a maximum payout limit of $20,000.

    John Q. Archibald: [shocked] What? Wha- I-I mean-I mean, you guys have been taking money out of my paycheck every week. I've been paying into this policy for years.

    Employee Manager: Right. And that's why we're gonna cover you for the full twenty.

    John Q. Archibald: You can't be right. I mean, come on. Alright, let me get this straight: You're telling me that you have dropped me from full-time to part-time. You switched carriers. Now you're telling me I'm not fully covered? Even though I got a policy that says I am?

    Employee Manager: It doesn't seem right, does it?

    John Q. Archibald: No, it doesn't seem right. I mean, my son is sick. If I'm not covered, I've got a serious problem.

    Employee Manager: I understand that, uh, but there's nothing I can do. Look, you can file for an appeal.

    John Q. Archibald: Yeah?

    Employee Manager: [hands John an appeal application] Here you go. That takes about seven working days.

  • Rebecca Payne: [in her office] No, no, no. This is an appeal. An appeal is for an already existing claim. What you needed to file was a grievance. You filed the wrong paperwork.

    John Q. Archibald: [sitting in front of her] Wait a minute...

    Rebecca Payne: You're gonna have to resubmit. It could take up to 30 days.

    John Q. Archibald: [turns frustrated] Look, I don't have 30 days.

    Rebecca Payne: I know you don't.

    John Q. Archibald: And quite frankly, I'm getting sick of the runaround. Now what I need is my son's name...

    Rebecca Payne: Mr. Archibald, your account is in access of $30,000. The hospital has been over backwards to help you out.

    John Q. Archibald: Is that right?

    Rebecca Payne: Yes! It is right. But there's a limit to our generosity. Once and for all, your insurance does not cover this.
