Movie Reviews of The Doctor
Movie Review: There's always a day in which a doctor becomes patient!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The doctor" is a mature although slow paced film that deals with the delicate position of a doctor who must face in own flesh a malign tumor on his larynx and must experience the other side of the chair as patient.
The film begins with a key sequence when he and his medical team are singing a song after a sensible operation A set of events will make to open his eyes around the emotional problematic that means to be patient before this feared illness.
Once more, the naturalness of this overlooked artistic patrimony like William Hurt is, establishes the difference between it might have been another soap opera and a good film. He leads the movie until a secure port. Kudos too for the amazing acting of Elizabeth Perkins like Juno, she did live the personage.
A zealous script makes this chamber work a piece that overpasses the average.
Movie Review: A Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love this movie. I saw it when it first came out back in the early 90's and just recently saw it again. I cannot believe I went all this time without watching this beautiful movie! I just recently acquired a VHS copy and have now watched it twice in only the last few days. What I like about the movie, first of all, is the fact that what happened in the movie then--with arrogant doctors, paperwork shuffling, etc.-- still applies today. The plot has never grown old. But what I really appreciate about the movie is the variety of issues it includes. It is to my understanding that this movie is required by atleast some medical schools for their curriculum. I do know however, that there are some doctors who apparently have not seen this movie (I know by experience of course) and need a dose of it themselves.Movie Review: Medical wake up call
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this film a number of times, not the last of which was for a class called "Whole Person Care." I was going to school to become a Physical Therapist and the class was intended to make us aware of our need to treat people as a whole and not as a disease process. Very effective and enlightening for this purpose and has always stayed with me as I see the folks in my care. I purchased this film to use for the same purpose at a Nursing Home in which I now work and intend to provide it to the entire staff as continueing education. I know it will be as effective for the nursing staff as it was for me. I can only thank the folks who made this film for a fine motion picture that does more than just entertain. The entire medical profession should use this in their education.Movie Review: A must see for all medical personnel
Summary: 5 Stars
If you work in the medical field you have to give yourself the opportunity to see one of the best movies made starring William Hurt. A doctor who is good at what he does, surgery, but is flippant and unattentive to his patients. He does not treat them like people just as objects to talk over and around but never to.
This successful doctor gets sick and the shoe is on the other foot and he has to deal with the paperwork involved in being a patient, he has to deal with a distant and efficient doctor. He is demanding and rude to the staff.
He meets June who is a terminal cancer patient and she teaches him some of life's lessons.
A heart warming excellent story done with taste and grace.
Movie Review: Great film, whether in health care or not, humility at it's best
Summary: 5 Stars
This should be required viewing for all medical students and residents, especially surgeons. They do go over the top a little with the stereotype of surgeon, but it works with the film. Even if you are not in the healt care field, this movie shows the humbling of a very boisterous, proud man who finds himself to be human afterall. William Hurt plays a hot shot heart surgeon who finds himself the patient with cancer who has to go under the knife. Now that the tables are turned can he adjust. This movie also has the sub-plot of priorities in life, and finding the values of ones life right at home, and not in the paycheck. Take time to rent or buy this film, worth viewing a few times.
