Full marks for the first half, a little procrastination for the second half

1. The first half is a bit like "Shutter Island", with strong suspense and a lot of details. In about an hour, the story behind it is actually pretty clear, but some details are explained later, and some escape scenes are added. There are two leathers on the front and back, and the emphasis is different. The plot is actually a little off.
2. Although the picture is a little weird and terrifying, it is very beautiful. Not only in the orderliness, but also in the beauty of the scenery, the sense of picture and the tone are very beautiful. Of course, there are also some exposed, bloody, and terrifying images. It's okay to speed up and flash through, but don't look closely, you will feel that there will be shadows. (Like water...) The music goes well with the picture. The editing is fast-paced.
3. In terms of actors, although the male protagonist is not handsome (nostrils play), his acting skills are online. The girl Hannah doesn't have eyebrows, so she's not pretty, but she's morbid and ignorant. Everyone's acting skills are online, but unfortunately I am blind, and a group of old people basically can't tell who is who.

To sum up, picture, music, acting skills——☆☆☆☆☆
plot, rhythm, plot——☆☆☆☆

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?
