The Good Doctor (The Good Doctor)

Production and year: USA, 2011 Original title: The Good Doctor Genre: Drama, Psychological Director: Lance Daly Screenplay: John Enbom Cast: Orlando Bloom, Riley Keough Medical theme: a doctor’s early years in practice, corruption in medicine Description: Orlando Bloom—a young resident of Australian descent working at a California clinic—tries at all costs to prove that he knows his craft. Loneliness and alienation from his surroundings give the impression that he doesn’t fit into his professional role, or at least not by vocation. However, he wants to overcome his antisocial image despite everything. When he is assigned a teenage patient with severe kidney damage, he initially displays great ambition, which turns into a psychopathic obsession... It is precisely this feeling that turns the doctor into a murderer. Wanting to be as close as possible to his patient, he acts against medical principles, harming her health so that she remains in the hospital as long as possible... A film about a psychopathic doctor, a morbid obsession, the dark side of medicine, and the bad exceptions that unfortunately occur in the hospital world. Honestly? I didn’t like it. On the one hand, because of what it conveyed, and on the other, because of the poor quality of the storytelling. I don’t recommend it!
