A. Summary
B. Identify the legal concepts or themes that were illustrated in the film. Describe the
scenes that are legal-related.
the concept or the theme of the movie that showed a legal process is that even though the
observation and theory of the doctor is done they don’t just proceed with an experiment
instead they proceed with caution and under the right procedure that happed when they
explained to mother of Leonard what could happen and what is the risk the Leonard is on
if the experiment and then explained that Leonard would be the first patient to undergo
with the experiment this is very vital and sensitive because this might be the major factor
whether the mother would agree or not then give the written consent that indicates that
Leonard would undergo with their experiment.

C. Granting that the legal-related situations/scenes in the movie happened in the
Philippines, determine the deviations from our law. Describe said situation/scene
and explain how it deviated from our law.
I don’t know if because this film is old that is why even tough, they have proceeded with
proper procedure it almost fast they just conducted the experiment. If that would happen
in our Country right now that would go under a lot of process just to be able to proceed.
As I remember it happened to Quezon City that they shut down a vaccine for some sort
because it is in experimental stage even though there is a waver my point is in our
country, we can’t just administer a medicine easily specially if it is experimental.
D. Give your Reflection and Reaction to the Movie
As a psychology student this movie is amazing for me plus this movie is a based on a true
story and this is motivational for me since his work is wonderful not only come from
curiosity but come from deep concern for his patients and not only that his works
contribution is also a factor because the experiment doesn’t meet the expectation but it
proves a major point because even it is temporary the patients felt normal again. And I
wish that some day my work can also be a great contribution in our field.
