First of all, this is a great example of genre usually named in USSR as "proizdodstvennaya drama" (this is simple means films about social interacting between people who works in particular industry or professions), great genre to make other peoples more acknowledge about everyday silent heroic feat of workers and specialist. So, now when you understand this - you can go and watch this film and can be fully admire with actions of chinese doctors.
And yes it has some political opinions, but like 3 minutes at all. Why someone who on daily basis eat american propaganda in entertainment (!) movies even complain about that? If you are from Taiwan just go see Taiwanese film about doctors if you have any. Why you go here and blabbing about chinese opinions in chainese films? And for production value its really top notch, like oscar quality (and yes I see them films Spotlight, Gold, Deep water - its sort of "production dramas"), and "The Captain" was a great film too, because they made by golden standards of this genre with some typical HK melodramatic moments. So don't try make it about politics while this all about heroic doctors.
