Is John Q Based on a True Story? An Analysis of the Movie by Nick Cassavetes

John Q is a very powerful movie. It is definitely a movie that will get you thinking about life and family. It is a tear jerker type of movie. It really makes you analyze your priorities in life. John Q is an advocate movie in the sense of how much are you willing to do for your family and how much you are willing to give up for your family. In the following paragraphs I will be analyzing this movie. I will do this by stating what I am willing to fight for in the customer service realm. I will also go to say as to what I think is too far. I will give my opinion on what I would not be able to do. Lastly, I will talk about me being more aggressive than conflict avoidant.

First, I will always be willing to stand for my family in their time of need. My family is very important and is very high on my priority list. My family gives me meaning to my life. I would be willing to fight for almost anything if it involves my family. In the movie, Denzel Washington`s son is dying from a heart problem and the insurance agents tell them they will not cover the cost of their son`s surgical need so he will just die. John Q (Denzel Washington) decides to hold up a hospital until they give his son the treatment. I would be willing to this for my son as well. If my son was dying I would do anything to save his life. I believe that his son deserves a chance at life even if they cannot afford it.

Now, I think killing people might be taking it a little too far. I do not know if I could do that to get what I wanted. I understand your son is dying, but taking another life does not make sense if you are trying to save a life in the first place. I don`t think a life unless it was completely out of self-defense and I do not think that is what is taking place in this movie.
