The birth of a miracle Joy

What touched me the most in this movie was what the head nurse said: "We are here to provide these women with choices." Whether it is abortion or IVF, it is a choice that should belong to women and is an option that science can provide to them.

At the beginning of the year, I interviewed a patient with cervical cancer during pregnancy. For a young woman who is extremely eager to have children, the cruelest thing is to tell her at the same time: Congratulations! There is a new life growing in your uterus, but unfortunately, there is also a tumor in it that will take your life. Many hospitals advised her to stop the pregnancy and treat the cancer as soon as possible, but she was very determined. She told me that she wanted to keep the child no matter what. Finally, only our hospital agreed to treat her. Two department directors performed an operation together, helping her deliver the baby and remove the tumor at the same time. The baby is very healthy and the mother is very happy. The teacher told me that this is very worth promoting. In the past, you would never have thought that women with cervical cancer could still have children.

To be honest, I couldn't agree with her at first. I couldn't understand why this woman risked her life to have a baby. I even criticized her recklessness in my heart and thought her persistence was stupid. And although the treatment and surgery were very difficult, I didn't understand why the hospital promoted the practice of giving birth with tumors.

Story summary:

Premiered at the London Film Festival. In the late 1960s, scientists Edwards, Steptoe and nurse Purdy ignored funding shortages, religious opposition and medical doubts, and spent ten years from early experiments to clinical applications, overcoming many setbacks and finally ushering in the birth of the world's first "test-tube baby".

Viewers are complaining:

The film focuses on a very challenging medical topic - infertility, and explores the complex relationship between science and ethics, hope and despair, individual dreams and social prejudices. The images of the protagonists are vivid and three-dimensional: Jean Purdy, a devout Christian and passionate nurse, longs to have her own children, but with the pain of infertility; on the other hand, she has no hesitation in devoting herself to research. Robert Edwards is confident and visionary, and Patrick Steptoe's kindness and care hidden under his rough appearance are vividly presented through the actors' superb acting skills.

The film tells the story in a straightforward manner. Although it does not have many fancy techniques, the rhythm is precisely grasped, which complements the length and hardship of the research work. The slow rhythm allows the audience to fully experience the anxiety and expectations of scientists before each small breakthrough, as well as their frustration and persistence in the face of setbacks. Although some paragraphs are a bit dragged out in the process of advancing the plot, it does not affect the coherence and appeal of the story as a whole.

At the same time, the film has a high degree of restoration of Britain in the 1970s. From the cold hospital scene to the Cambridge campus full of academic atmosphere, every picture seems to exude the atmosphere of that era. Whether it is the old medical equipment, retro clothing, or the hairstyle and makeup of the characters, they all create a realistic historical environment for the viewer. This delicate visual expression not only enhances the realism of the film, but Steven Price's soundtrack is also one of the highlights of the film. The lyrical orchestral music is perfectly integrated with the key plot, cleverly setting off the emotions of the characters and the atmosphere of the story. The pop songs from the 1960s and 1970s inserted in the film at the right time are like the finishing touch, adding a touch of relaxation and vitality to the film, and also evoking the audience's good memories of that era. The music and the pictures complement each other.

Overall, "Joy" is a masterpiece full of warmth and power. With its true and moving story, vivid characters, and exquisite production skills, it successfully presents a little-known medical history to the audience. The respect for the scientific spirit, the praise for the beauty of human nature, and the call for social progress it conveys are enough to move the audience.

Movie Joey Not a penny to my name Every great scientific progress is like an exorcism. Every failure is a preparation for perseverance. As a scientific documentary film, "Joy" is comparable to "Oppenheimer" in terms of the thickness of the script and the depth of the lines. What's more commendable is that "Joy" is not about the biologist who is researching the project, nor is it about the famous surgeon, but about a medical nurse in the project. She has professional medical knowledge, but is also limited by her identity as a woman and a Christian, which makes her difficult everywhere. She has contributed much more to the project research than others, but after the project was successful, her name was not engraved on the plaque outside the research building. "This is not just a topic that solves a small number of women's problems. If this topic involves men's problems, would you be happy to accept it?"

"We are not trying to replace God. We are just giving women another choice." "Maybe everyone has a lot of things that they think they have failed. But there is one thing you will never consider a failure, and that is your children. They are the best of everything." Joy, what a beautiful name.

The film "The Birth of a Miracle" is like a shining pearl, emitting an inspiring light. The film tells the story of an underdog team that fought bravely in adversity and finally created a legend. In terms of narrative techniques, the director cleverly used flashbacks and flashbacks, throwing out a shocking ending at the beginning, firmly grasping the hearts of the audience, and then gradually looking back on the hardships the team has gone through, making the story full of tension. In terms of plot setting, the contradictions and conflicts within the team, the doubts and ridicules from the outside world, and the shortage of funds are like mountains in front of them, but the players overcome them one by one with their love for football and firm beliefs. The coach's strategic guidance and the friendship of mutual trust and mutual support among the players have become a powerful driving force for them to break through obstacles. The passionate game scenes in the film are impressive. In the close-up shots, the players' sweat drips and their eyes are firm, conveying their determination to fight to the end. The daily training interspersed in it shows the countless silent efforts behind the success. This movie is not only a presentation of sports events, but also a deep interpretation of dreams, persistence and team spirit. It makes us firmly believe that as long as we have dreams and persevere, miracles will be born through unremitting efforts, giving the audience endless encouragement and strength.

This movie is one of the few biographical movies I have seen so far. It mainly tells the story of three scientists who suffered setbacks in the unprecedented scientific research project of in vitro fertilization but still worked tirelessly and finally succeeded.

When I first watched this movie, I couldn't empathize with it very well, but the more I watched it, the more I could appreciate the impact of the environment the characters were in at the time on their work, as well as their inner expectations and enthusiasm for the projects they were researching.

The protagonist, Bob, is a researcher in the laboratory. He has been conducting scientific research and experiments on the reproduction of hamsters. One day, Bob was lying on the ground chasing hamsters and saw Jane Paddy in a short skirt. The appearance of the heroine Jane Paddy foreshadowed that they would accomplish a great achievement in human history together.

However, the implementation of this scientific research experiment was not smooth sailing. They encountered opposition from conservative people, ethical doubts from other scientists, oppression from media opinion, and even the heroine Jane Paddy's mother did not want to see her daughter because of her daughter's work. Even when she went home to visit her sick mother, she was turned away.

It was not until 1973 that Jane Puddy and Bob discovered a mistake in the experiment. The liquid paraffin was poisonous and the experiment was abandoned. Bob's anger made Jane Puddy discouraged about the experiment that had made no progress, so Jane Puddy quit her job and went home to take care of her mother.

The following year, the heroine's mother passed away. Bob and Patrick also came to the funeral. When they proposed a new idea for the previous experiment, a suggestion from the heroine made them decide to restart the research.

Finally, in 1978, when Patrick retired, they successfully helped an infertile couple realize their dream, and the first test-tube baby, Brown, was born. Ten years of unremitting efforts, although there were setbacks during the period, but the result still lived up to the dream chaser. When I saw the moment of the birth of a new life in the movie, I was also moved by them.
