Dr. Strange is like an ER sitcom

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2016)

The movie Dr. Strange 2016 is a movie much like the television shows House or ER. It is about a doctor and how he copes in his life. Perhaps he is always trying to either help himself or help others. On a certain level there is a philosophical meaning to this movie, for example, should the doctor help himself and keep himself safe - like a paramedic or should the doctor try to help all of society as best as he can? And then if he continues to help the whole of society, by fighting off evil, can he still be called a doctor, or does he transcend his role to be omnipotent? The role of the Ancient One could be seen as that of a dictator - but she does seem to be a wise woman. It is clear that Western doctors today probably get pulled into Buddhism and alternative methods of healing throughout their practices. Doctors, too must wonder about good and evil and maybe Dr. Strange is more a movie about trying to contribute to society versus thinking only about oneself, choosing altruism versus survival of the fittest. Maybe this movie is about caring versus struggling and about truth versus lies.
