1)My favorite movie is definitely "Patch Adams"!!
I watched this movie when I was high school student for the first time, and I decided to be like him.

Robin Williams played the main character.

2)This movie is based on the true story. "Laughter is contagious ", this is the main theme in this movie. Patch Adams shows the real American medical physician Dr. Hunter Campbell "Patch" Adams. He is not only a doctor, but also social activist, citizen diplomat, professional clown, performer, and author.
In this movie, he realized that most important thing in medical care was warm heart and laughter. At this time, the world did not pay attention to the mental care to the patients, so he got many persecution but he never give up!!!
Now he still alive and teach his method to all over the world.

3) I really like his mentality. He always makes people happy and laugh!!! He really loves patients. I think it is true that physical illness come from mental illness, and today, many people in this world suffer from loneliness, sadness, emptiness, and so on. It is so hard to feel satisfied only with materialistic fulfillment. I want to be like him and I want to make people around me happy!!

Oh, maybe he is in America,,, I should meet him while I stay here!!!
