Several interpretations, not necessarily correct

Guido 2022-04-20 09:01:47

1. Water, which seems pure, is actually poisonous to normal people. Boss later admitted this point. It will not only affect his health, but may also cause hallucinations

. 2. Teeth, when the male protagonist looked at the boss's X-ray, his teeth had already fallen out. It should be The side effects of water, but when the male protagonist meets him, the boss's teeth are intact. Personal preference is the dentures that the boss gave them to avoid suspicion from others. After all, the old men and women in the nursing home have good teeth, including the last The male protagonist's teeth

are healed, I think it is also the dentures that the boss gave him Who is the boss who changed his face? The things that the boss does are not like others can pretend, otherwise what's the point of letting others go to his daughter? The male protagonist finally watched the ballet villain wake up, and it was not like the boss was acting

. 4. The nurse with sagging breasts means that the staff are all drinking human oil to maintain immortality, but their bodies are exposed.

5. The male protagonist sees mummy old The wife is the patient Mrs. XXX, the one

who plays word-guessing games and investigates history , especially after being brainwashed by the eel at the end and not wanting to leave, the woman said I thought you would wake me up and take me away, and the male protagonist looked at the villain at the end and maybe recalled his mother's words, implying that the male protagonist didn't know he was dreaming

7. Timeline If so, I think the male protagonist went to see his mother (the mother was a ballerina) → his mother died (the ballerina fell) → the male protagonist brought his luggage to cremation → went to the nursing home (with the fallen ballerina), but here What doesn't make sense is that the images that flashed through the mother's death happened later in the nursing home? Did my mother foresee it? For example, the phrase "you won't come back" when I visited, here I think my mother predicted that the male protagonist a. died in a nursing home, b. He (mentally, not face-changing), doesn't quite agree with the speculation that the whole story is a dream of mom

8. The last smile of the male protagonist, a. It may be that after going through all this, he finally "re-behaves" is no longer the original Wall Street elite, and found a spiritual antidote, b. The male protagonist was completely brainwashed by the boss and saved the woman The protagonist may be short-lived, the male protagonist is completely broken mentally, and agrees with the boss's theory

9. The female protagonist humming is related to her mother's ballet villain music box, but I am a little confused here. The male protagonist asked him why When humming, the heroine looked up at the tower and should be looking at the boss. Did she learn it from the boss?

A Cure for Wellness quotes

  • Pembroke: [Lockhart reading his letter] To my fellow-members of the Board. A man cannot unsee the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness, or go blind once he has the gift of sight, any more than he can be unborn. We are the only species capable of self-reflection. The only species with the toxin of self-doubt written into our genetic code. Unequal to our gifts, we build, we buy, we consume. We wrap us in the illusion of material success. We cheat and deceive as we claw our way to the pinnacle of what we define as achievement. Superiority to other men.

  • Pembroke: [Lockhart now reading the letter sitting at boardroom table] There is a sickness inside us. Rising like the bile that leaves that bitter taste at the back of our throats. It's there in every one of you seated around the table. We deny its existence until one day the body rebels against the mind and screams out, "I am not a well man." No doubt you will think only of the merger. That unclean melding of two equally diseased institutions. But the truth cannot be ignored. For only when we know what ails us can we hope to find the cure. I will not return. Do not attempt to contact me again. Sincerely, Roland E. Pembroke.

    Hank Green: Well, Mr. Lockhart, what do you make of that?

    Lockhart: Clearly he's lost his mind.

    Wilson: Our thought exactly.

    Hollis: Man goes for two-week spa vacation and has a complete mental breakdown.

    Humphrey: [viewing his smartphone] Who the hell takes the waters in the 21st century anyway?
