"I'm not the god of medicine." it blew up on the first day of its release! Word-of-mouth, box office, topics all exploded, in less than a day box office more than 300 million, has been named "2018 one of the most worthwhile movies!"
The show on Douban is a comedy, and look at the poster starring as bright as a flower, and it appears to be a minute-by-minute laugh at the abdominal muscles.
But many people who have seen it say that the "comedy" laughed and cried, "sick", "fake medicine", "too expensive" and "no money to see a doctor." The topic is all these heavy and realistic keywords.
To be exact, "I'm not the god of medicine" is a realist movie, which reminds the editor of another movie that made everyone cry-"Dear." they're all adapted from real stories. In order to not too many spoilers, the editor is simply talking about the prototype of the characters in the film.
"I am not the drug god" prototype is a real chronic myeloid leukemia patient Lu Yong, the story of the explosive point is the price of anti-cancer drug "Gelevier" (in the film called "Glint"), it can save life, but many people want to save can not save. At that time, the drug was sold in China at 23500 yuan a bottle, costing about 23500 yuan a month, nearly 300000 a year, and needed to be taken for life, and many ordinary patients spent their whole lives saving up. After a few years, we can only die.
Lu Yong was originally a businessman, but he took 2 years spent more than 600,000, feeling that he will not be able to survive. Constantly collecting information, he stumbled upon India's production of a copy of Gelevier, which is almost the same, requiring only more than 3000 yuan. Lu Yong continued to help friends to buy the drug, known as the life-saving "god of medicine."
But the medicine that can cure the disease really is not necessarily the "real medicine", the patient in "I am not the god of medicine", the contradiction between the agent of the pharmaceutical company and the government unfolds.
Unfortunately, the film didn't show in Australia, perhaps because it couldn't resonate in Australia. In Australia, many life-saving drugs like Gretel are affordable.
Australia's public health-care system does have a lot to do with blackjack, but it has to be said to be very generous on drugs. The government has not only invested heavily in research and development of breakthrough new drugs, many of which are included in the PBS (Medicament Welfare Program).

Editor saw Douban comment, "I am not the god of medicine," the fire, I do not know whether to be happy or sad. It is rare for China to have a full and realistic film, but the bankruptcy of a seriously ill family deeply resonates with the audience and deeply hurts everyone. Australia's health benefits are not as perfect as they used to be, but at least one seriously ill family will not go bankrupt here.
