SecondShow: Patch Adams

Hello People a very good morning to everyone and I wish you all a very happy Vinayaka Chavithi :) I thought a lot about which movie will be best suited for this occasional day, and after some really strong brain storming day I came to conclusion that none will come to the par of movie called 'Patch Adams'. A very refreshing movie reviewing from a very refreshing Browser (Google Chrome!)on a very good occasional day. So lets dont waste time and get into the life of 'Patch Adams'.....

The film tells the story of Hunter "Patch" Adams (portrayed by Robin Williams), a medical doctor who became famous for his unconventional approach to medicine. After a suicide attempt, Adams seeks psychiatric help and is institutionalized. During this time he is inspired to become a medical doctor, and discovers that he is able to forget his own problems by helping others. Two years later, he enrolls at Virginia Medical University (a fictitious school shot at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus) and he is the oldest first year student. He questions the school's approach to medical care, and clashes with the school's Dean Walcott (played by Bob Gunton) because of his belief in the necessity of personal interaction with patients. Because of this and other incidents, including a prank during a medical conference, he is dismissed from the school, although he is later reinstated.

Adams develops a relationship with a fellow student, Corinne Fisher (played by Monica Potter), and develops his idea for a medical clinic built around his philosophy of doctor-patient interaction. With the help of Arthur Mendelson (Harold Gould), whom Patch met while in the mental home, he purchases 105 acres (425,000 m²) in West Virginia to construct the future Gesundheit Institute. Together with Corinne, Truman Schiff (another medical student, played by Daniel London), and some old friends, he renovates an old cottage. When they get the clinic running, they treat walk-in patients without medical insurance, Patch commonly doing minor comedy sketches such as wearing thick glasses and pretending to be near-sighted. Corinne is fascinated by Patch's talent and their friendship turns into deep love.

wwooww that is going cool...what happens next? will their be any obstacles in their love and what happens to their Doctor career? will the Hospital Management come to know about illegal diversion of medicines or not? is the remaining super-duper climax.

As per Vish: No doubt one of the best dramatic movie which dazzled me in the recent times. Ultimate performances by Robin Williams and others makes this movie worth a watch. Have a nice viewing people and I hope this movie works like a refreshing mentos for a new beginning :)
