也许你是对的。也许楼上的那些人确实活得碌碌无为;也许他们正为这个世界牺牲,做一件伟大的事;也许他们真的是英雄。……但是,这不是他们的选择,是你为他们选择了这条路。你没有挑选你的妻子、你的孙女,也没有征召志愿者。你为他们选择了这条路,而你没有权力这样做。因为你是个医生,因为你曾庄严宣誓,因为你不是上帝。所以我不在乎你刚才说的能否在你手中实现,或者你能否治愈地球上的所有疾病,我只知道,你折磨并杀害了楼上的那些人,这是对你医生天职的亵渎。我愿你在监狱中度过余生。(Maybe you’re right. Those men upstairs, maybe there isn’t much point to their lives. Maybe they’re doing a great thing for the world. Maybe they are heroes. But they didn’t choose to be. You chose for them. You didn’t choose your wife or your granddaughter. You did’nt ask for volunteers. You chose for them. And you can’t do that. Beause you’re a doctor. And you took an oath. And you’re not God. So I don’t care if you can do what you say you can, or if you can cure every disease on this planet. You tortured and murdered those men upstairs. That makes you a disgrace to your profession. I hope you go to jail for the rest of your life.)
这是阿Hugh从影二十多年来相当少见的并非“英伦情人”的角色,对他的演技是个考验——他通过了。
首先,很像医生。我受够了那些只顾展现个人魅力、演什么都像自己、角色的职业感都没有的人,好在阿Hugh不是这样,忙里偷闲地写记录,站在诊室里指挥若定,还有让人很感动的接到任务永远“I’m on my way”的奔跑状态,在服饰、化妆的帮衬下,一个每周工作90小时的急诊室“壮劳力”苍白、疲惫,但职责使然,满怀热情治病救人的形象非常逼真。
