According to Wikipedia, Mesothelioma is a form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. The first time I came across the terrible effect of asbestos on a person’s lungs was in the movie “With Honors”. I cannot quite remember it but I think the character of the homeless man that Brendan Fraser’s character ended up helping suffered from lung cancer caused by asbestos. Brendan’s character took this homeless man to social services to get help for possible Mesothelioma treatment and the social worker was asking him to produce proof of his birth and he told her, “I’m here, ain’t I lady?” I really enjoyed that scene. I don’t remember much what happened to the guy after but that movie was one of my favourites. I think I’ll watch it again, one of these days and see if the disease was really Mesothelioma.
