Hi Everyone,
My daughter who is five years old likes to play with her
medical toolkit. She goes around checking us – she says, “take a deep breathe
mommy”. Then she checks my blood pressure, gives me injection, medicine, takes
a close look at my eyes and finally writes some prescription – ‘ABC’ on her
book. She tells me you better wear your glasses mommy. I tell her one day you will
become a great doctor to which she replies “I am a doctor. Now I have to attend
another patient – my pappa” 😊
Now based on this backdrop I am bringing to you guys a
French movie The African Doctor (original title: Bienvenue a Marly –
Gomont) released in 2016, the year when my little munchkin was born. This again
is based on real life of an African man studying in France who turns down the
job of the personal physician to the President of Zaire as he wants to avoid
corruption rampant in his country. He is hired by the mayor of Northern France
to serve the community there. When he informs his wife and children about the
offer, they assume that they will move to Paris. They are devastated to see
when they see the reality that they must live in a ‘village’. This story is not
about racial hatred. Since the villagers have never seen a black man, they do
not pose trust in him and his family but also somewhat fear them.
You may feel why have I picked this movie??? It sounds so
boring. Well no. As the movie progresses it shows how much the main protagonist
finds a purpose – to serve the people whoever they are, whichever race or color
or religion they belong to. His only motive in life as depicted in the film is
to do selfless service and provide good education to his children. If you know
in which direction you are supposed to go, you know where you will end up and
for attaining that you will work extremely hard. This movie also talks about
how people struggle to integrate with others. It tells us living together,
blending with each other, understanding, and accepting another person’s culture
promotes peace and prosperity.
I love recommending good or you can say awesome films to all
of you because it gives me lot of joy as I consider all of you to be my
friends. I will be waiting for you all to comment, subscribe and follow me on
facebook and koo app. Keep watching for my next blogpost.
Bye folks.
Love you all,
Namitha.
