This is a film about the story of Zbigniew Religa, a well-known Polish cardiac surgeon. Since I am not a Polish, I ca nt have much emotion for this film, but in the process of watching the movie, I still found some universal issues worthy of our thinking, especially technology and humanity ^[1] .
Lerica wanted to perform a heart transplant in Poland, but it was difficult. The focus of the film is not on technology, but on ethics. Therefore, in the film, Lerica becomes a person who challenges the rules of the game, and is always not understood. In Poland, the heart is a "sacred relic", and heart transplantation belongs to the "ambiguity of ethics". Even the teacher of Lerica, Professor Stkowski who sent Leliga to study abroad and aroused his ambition, I dare not get involved in this field; the Medical Ethics Committee is made up of a pedantic and aging team that resists heart transplants, let alone allowing him to test. Not only does he not get the support of professionals, even ordinary people can only get "doubt", because if the heart has a big problem, it is a matter of life and death, in Poland it is a problem of "god", a heart How does a surgeon compete with "God"? Therefore, comfort words such as "You can't force anyone's life and death, and the heart won't listen to you" are always testing his patience and will. In addition, if the operation fails or the operation does not achieve the expected results, Lei Lijia will also have to cope with the accusations from the media, they believe that he took the test of human life "for the sake of fame", and even the official directly gave him no order. Notice of the test: "Lei Li Jia, you are not God, don't continue to kill, your ambition has blinded your conscience." The official order is full of such strong ethical condemnation. It is conceivable that Lei Li Jia launched How stressful is a heart transplant ^[1] .
Despite the difficulties, he is not alone. He has a good team, loyal teammates, and Professor Jan Moore, the pioneer of heart transplantation in Poland. In the voice of condemnation, "Mountains are full of wind and rain," Professor Moore publicly supported him in the media: "Without the courage to innovate, you can only stand still." Such support is precious, But it can't solve the real problem of Lerica. The biggest difficulty or pain for Lerica was that he had to endure the torture of the patient who died under his scalpel. Although "the person who subverts the rules of the game can get happiness", this really doesn't apply to a conscience doctor, because every time he encounters a surgical failure, he will drink even if it is not his fault Get drunk. This is a condemnation of conscience, and each condemnation may become the source of his fear of moving the knife again. Although the film does not depict this aspect of Lerica, the fear of the vicious circle should be reasonable ^[1] .
The person who can recognize this and really help him solve this problem is still Professor Jane Moore. He only asked Lerica's question when he died. Perhaps Professor Moore has been waiting for himself to wake up, but there is no time. Professor Moore asked him that the question is there. All Lerica s answers are technical. There are also ethical aspects that have been rejected by him. In the end, he said: "This is about human nature. For doctors, success and failure are equally difficult, and doctors should be full of humanity." Immediately went to the mother of the little girl Iwoka to apologize. Although Iwka's death was not his fault, the mother of the deceased seemed to understand this, but she still appreciated the belated apology because she said "It is the freedom of God Arrange it! "To comfort Lei Lijia. This is human nature. A benevolent doctor knows to apologize to have awe in life; with an apology, there is forgiveness, and forgiveness makes the heart free. Sure enough, Lei Lijia made a huge breakthrough in the subsequent heart transplant operation. He successfully helped the fourth patient to extend his life for 7 years. ^[1]
Professor Moore pointed out the topic of "technology and humanity", which is actually a major ethical question, that is, what kind of technology is human, and how to implement technology is human? The words of a member of the Medical Ethics Committee seem to answer the question: "Will you be willing to do experiments on a child? I don't know why you, a cardiologist, think you are God." In other words, if you have God Kindness, you can operate this technology even if it is aimed at a child. Obviously, technology itself is not a problem, and the problem still lies with people ^[1] .

I was waiting for a good Polish movie for a very long time. They were serving us lots of crap for the last few years.
I would recommend this movie to any adult in the world. It should be easy to translate, because the value of life is known to any human on the planet. Moreover the fight to keep people alive is very immersive and you feel like you are standing next to a real doctor, watching his hands. It is moving, quite dramatic on moments yet filled with jokes so you are not kept tense for the whole time. The mix of victories and failures make it very realistic. All the setting, exteriors, interiors, clothes, furniture, cars are period correct. Everything looks exactly as it should except some music tracks are ahead of it's time, but they fill the theme quite OK. I hope we can finally see the rebirth of Polish cinematography and more movies as good as this one.
Great acting. Great uniform theme of the 80's in Poland. The best doctor movie I have seen in my life ^[2] .
