What a remarkable movie! It is a reinforcement of our own abilities to heal ourselves, and also a condemnation of the drug companies, and healthcare, and governments for making us dependent on them. Health is not just a physical matter. It is mental, emotional, and spiritual as well. It is also freedom. Many people have survived severe conditions, due to their faith that they can. It Is possible to lie down and die. It's my opinion that most people don't leave their body until their will to live is no longer strong enough to overcome the pain, and misery of life. And the pain and misery WILL come, if you live long enough. The patients in that facility had given up, until they found someone...something to believe in. John was just a metaphor for the hope that stays with us . And our faith in God. They found that again, and with it, a will to go on. They were looking for a miracle, and they found it in themselves, and wanted to tell everyone about it. 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
