MOVIE: CONCUSSION Concussion is a 2015 American biographical sports drama thriller film directed and written by Peter Landesman, and produced by Ridley Scott, Giannina Scott, David Wolthoff, Larry Shuman, and Elizabeth Cantillon, based on the exposé "Game Brain" by Jeanne Marie Laskas, published in 2009 by GQ magazine. This is a goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known. Omalu's emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world. After watching "Concussion", it brings me into thinking. The spirit of Dr. Omalu is admirable and touching, he tried his best to expose the true, even only got support from his wife, and the case put him into criticism. It was so hard to keep the faith and go ahead. If it was me, I think I cannot still be strong and persevere with my belief as him when there are so many obstruction and punishment. Also, it was so hard to keep the motion if things affect to my family negatively. This is sad, but true. I aso think, when the truth against the desire and benefits, what will the public choose, and what will I choose? When people facing unfirness, what does people always do, and what am I used to do? What position will people stand on? Will people afraid with big power and government? In my opinion, I think most of the answers are those I don't like and I cannot accept! I have to remind myself, the society is changing. When things happened, people always think about their own benefits first and their family second, but not the truth. There are full of unfairness in the society, will there anyone argue for the disadvantaged social groups. Many thanks for the effort of Dr. Omalu, and his persevere. I've got a new obtainment, social media is the best network to share ideas to public, people may have a new point of view by a small sharing. I think I can bring social issues to life, share the real situation to the society and bring new point of view of it. This is a good way to motivate people to put their own ideas od social issue into their daily communication.
