Review movie: As far as you are able to go to save your child's life - John Q [ENG/ESP]@edwarlyn11519d

Hello my dear readers of Hive and lovers of the world of cinema ❤️, here I want to share a film very inspired by the dramatic genre, as it is based on a true story of a father who was capable of everything to save the life of his son who needed a heart but because he did not have enough economic resources and social influences he was not included in the lists or even lend him insurance, A sad reality of many low-income people, but when it comes to money, health is often taken as a game where life is not given enough importance, and in this crude story you will see proof of this.

Hola mis queridos lectores de Hive y amantes del mundo del cine ❤️, aquí les quiero compartir una película muy inspirada en el género dramático, ya que está basada en una historia real de un padre que fue capaz de todo por salvarle la vida a su hijo quien necesitaba un corazón pero por no tener los suficientes recursos económicos e influencias sociales no lo incluían en las listas o incluso prestarle seguro, una triste realidad de muchas personas de bajos recursos pero, cuando se trata de dinero, la salud muchas veces es tomada como un juego en dónde la vida no se le da la suficiente importancia y en ésta cruda historia se verá prueba de ello.

“John Q”, as the father of the boy who needs a heart is called and also in honor of his son, is the protagonist of this story and is the one who gives everything in his last instance to save the life of his son who needed an urgent heart transplant. But belonging to a low social status, this situation comes as a bucket of cold water to his family. In his desperation to find an absurd amount of money to be included in the waiting list for donors, John Q. Archibald played by (Denzel Washington), exhausts all legal options, even pleading with the authorities and administrators of the clinic, but without success, triggering a desperate measure on his part, resorting to an illegal act by kidnapping and forcing with a gun the doctor, who refused to treat him.

“John Q” como se hace llamar el padre del niño que necesita el corazón y también en honor a su hijo, es el protagonista de esta historia y es quien da todo en su última instancia por salvarle la vida a su hijo quien necesitaba un transplante urgente de corazón. Pero por pertenecer a un estatus social bajo, está situación llega como balde de agua fría a su familia. En su desesperación por buscar una absurda cantidad de dinero para poder ser incluído en la lista de espera para donantes, John Q. Archibald interpretado por (Denzel Washington), agota todas las opciones legales, suplicando incluso a las autoridades y administradores de la clínica, pero sin éxito, desencadenando una medida desesperada por su parte, recurrir a un acto ilegal al secuestrar y obligar con un arma al doctor, quien se reusaba a atenderlo.

This is a drama directed by Nick Cassavetes and scripted by James Kearns.

The plot centres on John Q. Archibald, played by Denzel Washington, a father who, when his son suffers a heart attack that requires a heart transplant, becomes desperate when he cannot afford the medical expenses.
Image

At the hospital, he is helpless as he sees his child bedridden, hooked up to machines that keep him alive.

The medical bureaucracy seems heartless. He tries every option but no one lifts a finger to save the little boy.

John makes a drastic and desperate decision: he takes the people inside the hospital hostage to force the authorities to give Michael a compatible heart.
Image

The film explores themes such as a father's struggle for justice, inequality in the healthcare system and the moral dilemmas that arise in desperate situations.

"John Q." offers compelling performances, especially from Denzel Washington, who emotionally portrays a father's desperate attempt to save his son's life.

›CINEMANIA 17: JHON Q EXTREME SITUATION.@spliddash1066d
Hello friends I hope you are all super well, I had not posted because I was a little indisposed health, as I got a cold which led me to be several days in bed with rest and recovering. And as in those days of ill health I was watching the movie that I bring you today, as it is a tape that I love, because it is about health, I talk about John Q.

JOHN Q EXTREME SITUATION

JHON Q.

This is a movie starring Denzel Washington one of my favorite actors, made in 2002, which talks about health and how the health system in the United States and not only in this country but in many, health is private, basically if you do not have money you are not attended in a hospital, a matter that leads to bring many negative things in many people, and especially to happen things like what we see in the film where parents are able to do everything for a child, going through his own life.

Plot: The story follows the life of "John Quincy Archibald" and his family, his wife and his son, who is a baseball player, one day the boy faints and when he enters the hospital they tell him that his heart is too big and he needs a heart transplant to live, this leads his father to do everything possible to get the money to put the child on the waiting list of the donor, and to pay all the hospital expenses of his son. At one point, as a middle class family, out of work and having spent all their insurance and sold everything they had, he is told that they cannot put his son on the waiting list for a heart, and this leads him to the extreme of the situation, and he manages to hijack the hospital with several nurses and patients inside the emergency room and a cardiovascular doctor who is the one treating his son. John ends up becoming a hero for his son and for the patients he is holding hostage because they all come to his aid in time because they understand his situation, he also becomes a symbol of protest against the health care system of the country.

Protagonists: The main protagonists are:

"Denzel Washington" who plays John Quincy Archibald. "Daniel E. Smith" who plays John's son, "James Woods" who plays Dr. Raymond Turner, "Robert Duvall" who plays the cop Frank Grimes, other well known actors are "Eddie Griffin", "Anne Heche", "Ray Liotta", "Kimberly Elise", who also have an important role in the film, all of them give first class and impeccable performances. Denzel Washington won a Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in the film.

Release date: Jhon Q was released in 2002 on February 15 and spent about $36 million approximately and being a success at the box office as it was able to collect $102 million worldwide. A total success.

Director: The director of the film is "Nick Cassavetes" who has also done works such as the film "The Notebook" in JHON Q, wanted to express his disagreement with the American health care system and the social economic inequality that exists, telling the story of this character Jhon Q, who fights to save the life of his son against an entire system. These are delicate issues and the director knew how to express it in this film, which is and still is a social protest.

Producer: The producer of the film is "Mark Burg" who is a renowned film producer, who has worked on films such as The Butterfly Effect and the saga of the successful "SAW" which today is a cultural phenomenon, also made successful series such as "Two and a Half Men", in John Q did a phenomenal job making the film a total success.

Screenwriter: The screenwriter of the movie was "James Kearns" who has done several scripts for productions such as "The Mighty Duck", in Jhon Q he made a super emotional and touching script, touching the feelings of all the viewers, he also tackles the social issues related to the medical system of the country. Creating a script of protest against a whole system. His script was key to the success of the film.

scene from the movie

Soundtrack: The music of the movie is composed by Aaron Zigman a great musician of film music, from the soundtrack stand out themes like "John Q Theme and Hospital Montage", the musician did an excellent job making the music of each scene that transmits you emotion and feeling in all its splendor, it moves our soul and moves us, makes us cry, each scene and the music is the culprit of that. Great job.

Visual effects: The movie does not contain many visual effects specifically in several exact scenes only as they are the part where they extract the donor heart and then when they put it to the child, there are other scenes that have effects but not of great effect, since the film focuses more on the plot, the story and the development of each character. This means that the movie did not require great visual effects.

Fun fact: A curious and at the same time very kind fact is that when they were filming the movie, the main act denzel Washington, made a donation to several institutions that help children with heart problems, all this money was part of what the actor earned for the movie.

poster movie

Based on: The movie is not based on any true story, but the script if written based on the different stories of the lives of patients and their families who struggle with a privatized health care system in the United States, equally social and economic and ethical problems that people have daily, from there comes the script although the story is fictional does not cease to be real what they expose in the film plot.

Critics: The critics were mixed in the public and specialized critics, the performance of Delzel Washington stands out since they made a great interpretation, the film talks about social issues, and especially the health system, the film is a protest totally, although it was not a commercial success, it had a good success at the box office and over time has become a drama film very acclaimed for its history.

Opinion: In my opinion the movie is excellent, all the actors do a great job, the role of Denzel is masterful, and leads us to think and reflect, that if we went through that situation that we would save the life of a child or a family member, what extreme things we could do, Also that reflection for the governments not only in the USA, but around the world since many countries health is privatized and people with few resources are the most vulnerable, denying medical care for lack of money, making it clear that it is more important that money than human life, wow is a topic for debate and reflection.

Conclusion: To conclude the film leaves us a reflection on the economic system and especially the health system, it leaves us the reflection of how a father can do everything in his power to save the life of his son, we have to reflect on that. It also addresses the socio-economic and social issue of the lower and middle class, and not only in one country, but in all countries that have this private health care system. We must be aware that health should be free and governments are the ones who have the right to preserve hospitals and their proper functioning, so it should be, so the film is a clear protest against this type of health system. Reflection on the subject as it is still happening today. And parents and relatives in an extreme situation are capable of doing everything to save the life of a loved one.

Jhon Q EXTREME SITUATION

I hope you like this work today, for me it is a great movie that fills me with mixed feelings, if you have not seen it I totally recommend it, as I always say this is an investigative work that I do with a lot of love for cinema. Thanks for reading here in cinemania and see you in a new post. Blessings.

# Un padre desesperado
Para nadie es un secreto que la cultura en general ha perpetuado la idea del hombre como el sustentador económico del hogar y cabeza de familia, actualmente cada día más mujeres trabajan y se hacen cargo de todo, pero aún en las familias donde ambos trabajan y se comparten las tareas del hogar, está arraigada la idea del hombre como responsable de la protección de la familia, éste es el caso de John Q, un padre cuyos esfuerzos no dan abasto para proteger a su hijo de la enfermedad que le afecta, debido al monstruo que supone el gasto médico para una familia de clase trabajadora.

Es por ello, que ante la impotencia que se manifiesta en el hecho de que por más que trabaje nunca le alcanzaría el dinero para siquiera poner a su hijo en la lista de espera de un trasplante, dicho padre toma medidas desesperadas.

# Empatía con el protagonista
John Q toma una medida desesperada para intentar salvar a su hijo, tal hecho lo hace actuar de manera errática e ilegal, sin embargo, el espectador puede sentir empatía por el personaje, poniéndose de su lado, obviamente él padre no es malo, simplemente actúa por desesperación, lo cual hace pensar que si bien es cierto que todas la personas reaccionan diferente ante la presión, muchos bajo las circunstancias precisas pueden incurrir en actos como los hechos del protagonista.

# La crítica al sistema de salud
En algunos países el sistema de salud es público y esto tiene ventajas y desventajas, sobre todos en países llamados "subdesarrollados" término que particularmente no comparto, pero que no viene al caso ahora, en otros como en EEUU por ejemplo el sistema es privado, siendo un país de los primeros en tecnología para la salud son pocos los documentales y películas que nos muestran las costuras de dicho sistema, series de televisión nos muestran las proezas médicas sin embargo, la película John Q nos muestra otra cara. Hace algunos años por ejemplo en Venezuela se hizo popular una película nacional llamada la Hora 0, la cual tiene algunas coincidencias con esta película, planteando una perspectiva más radical y en cierta forma "latina" del asunto con la salud privada. Por mi parte considero que John Q es un buen ejemplo del drama que representa no tener acceso a la asistencia médica.

Acá les dejo un link del cual obviamente no soy autora y por lo tanto no garantizo la posteridad del mismo, sin embargo mientras esté disponible pueden disfrutarla.
