Everyone has their own freedom, faith and responsibility. It all become different when we
apply an act or respond on it because we have own understanding on each thing that happening on
us right now and we have different approach on how we handle things in life and that was the film
about. Dealing with every problem in life is really hard because we have to make a decision, a
decision that can lead us to a brighter or worst future. As image of God, people never lose their
faith, no matter what they are doing and what they have been in life they still ask for acceptance,
mercy, forgiveness and love to still continue their journey that made by their decisions in life.
The " freedom " in John Q is well expressed because people tend to abuse their freedom.
First is to make a decision between their house and car to give up just to pay their bills. Next is
where the point of the story that John Q choose to break the law and settle the things in that way.
In that scene it really turned out that a human person has a free choice, to do essentially good and
to do essentially bad whether he is a Christian and has faith because John Q reached his limit to
the point that he is force to do something against his will or his beliefs which fall on the
His love for his family never dies but therefore it helps them to became strong to surpass
Even though he has faith and believes in God, still he is capable to choose evil over good
His inner freedom shows in that scene wherein he will do all possibly he can do like
sacrificing his self to provide a heart to his son that will undergo of heart transplant.
John Q choose to let go his pride in order to seek help for their bills in the hospital. His
determination and moral responsibility continue t show and to the point that he was blinded that
he has a power to make any decision which lead to do the hostage taking,
lead to different consequences in life. At some point, John's decision is considered to be good
wherein he helps people to realize that medical insurance is not only for those who have money or
upper class but also to the people who are really in need. Everyone have different perspective on
how to deal every problem in life just like John Q, his decision is very risk taking. His son's life
and his life were put in the line and it could lead to worst situation opposite to what happened in
the movie.
