My favorite film "Pach Adams"


Patch Adams is movie directed by Tom Shadyac in 1998, United States. The movie is based on a real history of Hunter, “Patch” Adams and the book Gesundheit: Good Health is a Laughing Matter, written by Adams and Maurren Mylander. It is the biography of the doctor Patch Adams (Robin Williams) who gave a drift on the official medical community applying singular therapies, sustained on making people laugh and to be careful with the patients suffering from cancer. 
In 1969, Hunter Adams (Robin Williams) was having a conflict of interest and voluntarily went into a psychiatric hospital. He found that helping to his intern mattes, was giving meaning to his life. In fact, this inspired him to leave the hospital and become a doctor, in order to help people.
Soon he found out that Medicine Schools have a philosophy of “No engagement” with their patients, is and attitude that does not contemplates the emotional necessities to improve their life quality. 
“Patch” Adams wants to find a better way to help them, but its consequences are a challenging the rules and authority, this will have severe results. 
The main characters are Robin Williams (Patch Adams), Monica Potter (Carin), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Mitch), Alan Tudyk (Everton), Ryan Hurst (Neil), Peter Coyote (Bill Davis). I like this movie because is fun, emotional, deep, intense, and speaks about real life.
I like it because is a beautiful life history.
