Recommended Movie

When we hear the word “oil,” maybe we will imagine cooking or a syrupy liquid. We never think it is important for some people to live. There is a movie called Lorenzo’s Oil. This movie is about fighting against serious diseases. I strongly urge you to watch this movie because it’s about family live, truth, and the power of life.

Firstly, while you watch this movie, even afterwards, you may feel family love. In this movie, a boy contracted a serious disease called ALD, which doctors couldn’t treat. However, his parents never gave up on their son. His father quit his job and studied to search for the cure by himself for a long time. Then, finally he found it. In addition, his mother also quit her job, and she always took care of him. His parents devoted everything for their son because they believed he would get well.

Secondly, this movie tells us a true story. As I said before, the father found the cure for his disease. Actually, this discovery was a big step in the medical world. However, while his father was searching, people never helped him. In other words, people thought that he couldn’t find the solution and felt pity for the boy because of the symptoms of his disease. For example, he couldn’t speak clearly, and he often screamed. Therefore, I think this movie helps us think about the complex relationship between disease people and supporters.

Finally, this movie tells us about the power of life. Even though his father was not a doctor, and he was just a bank officer, he researched on his own and finally found the cure. He taught us if we keep doing something, we can reach our dream, and it is important to keep moving forward. Also, the sick boy maintained a strong will and never gave up to live. His body function was getting worse because of the disease. It is said this disease leads to death in two years. I was really impressed and was inspired by him who was in this bad situation.

There are a lot of movies in the world, but I want you to watch this movie first especially if you are sad, lose your way, or try to do new things. This movie can fulfill your mind and give you power.
