Patch Adams (1998)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Patch Adams is based on a true story, which is shocking. Not because a real-life doctor called Hunter “Patch” Adams existing seems impossible; because this film is so phoney, so emotionally manipulative, so misguided and manufactured not an ounce of it rings true. Obviously green-lit as a dramatic vehicle for Robin Williams, the story he’s given leaves a bad taste in your mouth despite his best efforts. It was a hit upon release and you can see why. This is exactly the kind of manipulative melodrama that would sucker indiscriminating viewers.

While self-administered in a mental institution, Hunter “Patch” Adams (Williams) finds that humou - rather than the cold, clinical attitude most doctors hold - yields the best results among the patients. After enlisting at the Medical College of Virginia, he questions the attitude his teachers hold towards the patients, raising the ire of Dean Walcott (Bob Gunton) and his roommate, Mitch (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

You can tell which scenes Robin Williams juiced up with his improv. Those moments are great and genuinely funny. The man had a warmth to him that made you believe in his character. Patch seems genuinely sweet and sympathetic. The rest of the picture is unintentionally funny when it isn’t cloying, overly sanctimonious and overbearing. I’m still shocked we didn’t get a scene of Dean Walcott slaming his fists upon a table yelling “Aaaaadams!” like the crusty dean in so many frat-centered comedies. The man’s a cartoon, a bizarro-world version of Patch who wishes every doctor could surgically remove their emotional glands to be as robotic as possible while practicing. This portrait of the medical world is an insult to doctors, who - according to this film - do not care about their patients at all.

I could criticize the film for diverging from the real story of Patch Adams but I won't. While the 47-year-old Williams is twice the age the real man was when he began his career, the casting is good. It's fine to stray from reality because movies are not real life. If you want to take liberties, however, do it to make the film more interesting. This brings us to the worst character in the film: Monica Potter as Carin, a fellow medical student. In a movie filled with stereotypes, she may be the worst; a love interest introduced where none is needed, a token female whose sole purpose is to serve the male lead. It gets downright offensive in the end but even before then, it’s kinda creepy to see Williams flirting with the then-27-year-old who tells him she’s not interested. He persists until eventually, she relents. It makes the sweet Patch seem like a creep and further undermines his character. Perpetually goofy and never seen studying (though we’re assured he’s acing his tests and brilliant at medicine), Patch steals medical supplies, bursts into patients’ rooms unannounced, invades people’s privacy and repeatedly ignores his superiors’ orders. You understand why doctors feel the need to remain emotionally distant from their patients. They're very likely to see someone in their care die. It happens in this movie. There is something to be said about being too cold but this movie takes things to such extremes that no one would ever want to be cared for by Patch.

Relying on one cliché after another and going for cheap sentiments every time is the favourite tactic of director Tom Shadyac but let’s not forget to blame screenplay writer Steve Oedekerk. Ultimately, Patch Adams is interested in giving Robin Williams a role. Everything else was an afterthought. (On DVD, June 7, 2019)

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective has some patterned lights that create moderate to strong strobe effects during an early heavy metal concert scene. The following scene has occasional single flashes of bright light. There is a scene with some cameras flashing around a police investigation.

There are brief moments of handheld camera work.

Flashing Lights: 6/10. Motion Sickness: 2/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: This film is famously transphobic, both in the use of a transgender character as a villain, and in an excessively disgusted reaction to the revelation that the villain is trans. This reaction includes the sound of vomiting, repeated misgendering, and genital inspection. One separate plot element involves someone acting like a cartoon character as a way to fake having mental illness.

Yaşam eve dönmekten ibarettir. Satıcılar, sekreterler, madenciler, arı yetiştiriciler, sihirbazlar yani hepimiz için. İç huzuru olmayan herkes eve dönmenin bir yolunu arar.

-Kaç tane görüyorsun?

-Dört parmak var.

-Hayır, hayır. Bana bak.

-Sen probleme odaklanıyorsun. Eğer probleme odaklanırsan çözümü göremezsin. Asla probleme odaklanma. Bana bak! Kaç tane görüyorsun? Parmakların ardına bak. Kaç tane görüyorsun?

-Sekiz.

-Sekiz. Sekiz. Evet! Evet! Sekiz iyi bir cevap. Kimsenin göremediğini görmelisin. Başkalarının korkudan, uyum kaygısından, tembellikten ötürü görmemeyi tercih ettiğini gör. Bak, tüm dünya her gün yenileniyor.
