Harrison Ford stars in the movie, Extraordinary Measures. The movie is adapted from the real life story of a couple who sacrificed everything they had to find an answer to their illness which is killing their children. The parents take the unusual action of helping to finance research into treating or better still finding a cure for the genetic disease. Is this an extreme action? How many parents would take radical steps to protect the health and happiness of their children?
Without a doubt most parents would be devastated to learn their children had inherited a degenerative disease. Most parents would take any steps possible to ensure their child received the best treatment available. However, not every parent has the confidence to challenge systems designed to keep the cog in the wheel so to speak.
Extraordinary Measures was released at cinemas during the Month President Obama was sworn into office. The film is a representation of the new mood of optimism sweeping the country. The movie highlights in a positive way how individuals can stand up and be counted despite the odds stacked against them. It is a movie that is indeed heart warming in its portrayal of unconditional honest love of parents for their children.
The main theme is not about finding a miracle cure as it appears at face value. The main theme explores the many fears, prejudices and pressures placed upon parents living with children with illness and disability. It brings into the open, in a very Hollywood saccharine manner, an issue many families face at times of crisis, that of rediscovering the resilient human spirit.
There is also a sub text to the movie which parallels the real life concern for the New President as well as many Americans and that is the issue of health care insurance.
Somehow the movie also gives the impression that taking a stance against injustice and carrying on despite incredible hardship is solely an American trait. Most people live in hope of a better, more cohesive society. Without inspiration from those who do survive despite the incredible circumstances of their lives, people everywhere would not be able to carry on living in hope.
Single parents struggle, sometimes in poverty, to bring up health, happy children. The fact that many do so, some without support networks, is an achievement worthy of note. A married couple staying together through good times and bad times is a triumph of hope over cynicism. People with disabilities striving to live independent lives within societies which have little patience for those who can not keep pace and managing to do so with grace and optimism is hopeful. Children surviving war and abuse and going on to promote peace and non aggression inspire hope. Volunteering is an example of how many human beings give of their time and skills to others for the benefit of mankind. Many communities and charities would not survive without an army of volunteers.
Extraordinary Measures are taken by parents the world over in an effort to progress their children's health and well being. People have the ability to retain hope even when is seems as though all hope is lost. This human need to hope for the best is what drives human beings to carry on. Engaging in meaningful relationships with others is a basic human requirement. For how long America keeps this feeling of optimism can only be guessed. It is hoped that it lasts long enough for much needed changes to take effect and impact positively upon American culture and society. - 40724
