The director uses too much force, ,, the details cover up the whole. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This film mainly talks about two issues:


First, cult organizations are brainwashed, hypnotized, and controlled. . . main line. . . .

2. Human body science experiments: using eels and other means to refine human body to make longevity elixir, and possibly to treat infertility. . .


The main line is still brainwashing and hypnosis, and then using hypnosis to achieve illegal goals,,,,,,,,


the means of brainwashing and hypnosis are actually very simple,,, is to drink water with medicine to create hallucinations. . .

A few details: 1. The male protagonist drank a glass of water from a sanatorium and had a car accident on the way back, indicating that the car accident was actually an illusion. . . .
2. The boss of the male protagonist was deeply hypnotized, and after soaking his head in the water for a while, he woke up. . . .
3. The sanitary napkin of the girl coming out of the toilet is colorless, compared with the blood in the trash can, in order to show that the girl did not come to her aunt and was infertile. . .
4. When the male protagonist was treating in the water, when the female nurse seduced the attending doctor to make a plane, the female nurse's chest was very shriveled, in fact, it was to show that the female nurse was very old. . . . .

There are many, many details, not to mention one by one. . . . . .

A few questions: 1. Why does the male protagonist wake up by himself every time he is hypnotized?,,,,,,, the antidote is the dancing doll given to him by the male protagonist's mother. . .

2. Why did the male protagonist laugh at the end?,,,,Some people said that the dean who escaped was actually the dean.

When the male protagonist finally escaped,,,,, met a few people from his company,,,, this is actually an illusion,,, the male protagonist laughed at the end,,, because the male protagonist saw that it was an illusion. . . . . . . . Because every time the male protagonist leaves the nursing home, he will have hallucinations and bring him back again,,,,, so the movie says,,, no one can leave here. . . . . .



In general, this movie is a bit overpowering,,,,,, it pays too much attention to details, and the length is too long, which makes the movie lose its overall sense of smoothness

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?
