"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a small-cost realist film directed by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng. Due to the film's accurate description of current social issues, the film has a sense of closeness and a deep critical nature. The huge social effects and box office economic benefits brought by movies have set a good example for the current domestic movies: a truly good movie still needs to be warm and close to life and reality, and at the same time convey correct and just values. Director

focused his perspective on the lowest level of leukemia patients to frame a cruel topic, and the survival and death, law and emotion hidden behind the cruelty, every human choice is torturing the conscience of this society. As far as realist movies are concerned, its criticality is unquestionable, and from the perspective of the director's choice of leukemia patients, the director's courage and sense of responsibility are undoubtedly revealed. The leukemia patients who appeared in the movie had attempted suicide, Lu Yiyi,

, could not afford medicine and waited to die, and betrayed Sihui in order to save his family. Every decision they made was a breakthrough in the bottom line of the law. It is a struggle on the verge of death. Such a choice, such a struggle, is difficult to accuse them with ordinary law and emotion, especially when their struggle has not been exchanged for the "right to live", hiding in this society The director’s medical system and judicial system have been pushed to the public’s trial stand, and critical and sensitive topics such as criticism, exposure, and questioning have been paid attention to and discussed. Such a movie became the conscience of this society.

In front of the tragic group of leukemia patients, the director portrayed the image of Cheng Yong as a "civilian hero" to connect the patient and the audience's spiritual bridge. His transformation from an ordinary city and a civilian to a "hero" achieved the director-to-human The warm expression of appeal also completed the sublimation of the film.

In the film, the director did not just stop at the cruel criticism of the society, but used Cheng Yong's changes to illustrate his intrinsic softness. On the one hand, Cheng Yong is afraid of the authority of the law, and on the other hand, he sympathizes with the leukemia patient. In the inner suffering and struggle, he finally stands on the side of the patient, sublimating the only warmth in the film. Due to the change of Cheng Yong, this warmth Changed police officer Cao and counterfeit drug dealers until you and me as the audience. Under the impetuous background of modern society, the director is not feminine and unpretentiously promotes his humanistic care.

​​presents a four-act color distribution rule in the color of the movie. The four acts are yellow, orange, blue, and white. The colors become intense according to the plot, and then suddenly turn colder to lighter, just like the change of the theme, becoming more serious ,formal. In the film, the director expresses both the cruelty of society and the warmth among ordinary people. There is also a clear block pattern in the color distribution of the film. The style of the film in the first half of the film is humorous and relaxed. Therefore, showing the warm color of yellow and orange, for Cheng Yong and the others, the orange-yellow Indian god oil shop became their warm harbor.

As the film becomes more formal and serious, the colors suddenly become colder, mainly blue and white. At this time, the humor and lightness no longer appear. Following them is the police station and the judicial system, which are cold and ruthless. The tone also emerges spontaneously. The colors and art styles serving the theme change appropriately with the changes of the characters' minds, but on the whole they present a rough sense of real life, reflecting the function of serving "real".

"I'm not the god of medicine" ends with a long crowd of leukemia patients. For Cheng Yong, the ups and downs of the past have turned into mists at that moment. Looking back at the past, the painful farce is just life. A small journey.

Through the film "I am not a medicine god", the director seems to be deliberately telling people that this real society does not have so many auras, but there is still a secret and great warmth in the ordinary and ordinary. This may be the director's hope to see Right.

is actually people who can save people. I hope to see more of these movies released. I also hope that people today will see this movie and cherish the present day because of this movie, and they can change more.
