hi all!
I just watched the movie "Patch Adams" on Star Movies. It's really really very nice! (:
The movie's based on a true story of Hunter "Patch" Adams who couldn't find any meaning in his life and attempted suicide several times until he couldn't take it and admitted himself to a mental hospital.
There, he met other patients and used humour to relieve them of their pain. And then he realised he wanted to be a doctor. He enrolled in a medical school and didn't believe in all the crap the professors told him about. And he was weird. Very weird.
Patch broke all the rules and made the patients laugh, thereby treating them. I like the part where he was fooling around entertaining a patient when a doctor making his rounds saw him and asked him what he was doing. Patch rattled of a long speech about how laughter helped the patients before walking out, leaving the doctor stunned. The patient's dad described Patch as an "intelligent clown" instead of a "funny doctor", which kinds of changes his primary role.
In a nutshell, it's nice and worth watching. Alot better than Cinderella Story, which was featuring at the same time on channel 5. Patch is "excessively funny", as commented by his professor!
Go watch! (:
