As a suspense and thriller movie, the length of "A Cure For Wellness" is really amazing. It is more than two hours. I personally feel that the whole movie is a little procrastinated, but this kind of slow narrative rhythm is also just perfect for This movie has enough room for rendering. As the male protagonist gets closer to the truth of the matter, the film spends a lot of time creating a feeling of icy depression-green wards, brainwashed patients, dead people who have been squeezed dry, all kinds of fat and aging nudes, etc. And so on, successfully surrounded the audience in the fog, so as to maximize the feeling of suspense.
Moreover, the director of the film seems to know how to make the audience feel uncomfortable, and many scenes give people the feeling of being forced to listen to a fingernail scratching a blackboard. There are two scenes of forcibly pulling teeth in the movie. For me, who was afraid of the dentist since I was a child, I didn’t dare to watch these two scenes carefully. I don’t know what the director thought. The whole process was presented clearly and in detail. The movie theater was fidgety for a while.
The picture and soundtrack of "A Cure For Wellness" can actually add a lot to it, but the film has too many loopholes in the story, giving people the feeling of watching a playful performance. To put it simply, this is the story of a big devil who tricked all kinds of ignorant rich people into refining human oil through eels in order to live forever. It's a pity that our male protagonist said that he found clues, and the next step would be to find evidence; if he said that he would take away the heroine, he would take away the heroine. And when you enter, you break through the door, and there is a loud bang, but no one finds it; when you say that the big devil is lit, the big devil is lit, even if you are only a short distance away from the big devil, but all the flames are perfectly avoided. The hero.. .....The protagonist can have the halo, but can it not be so dazzling. No matter how beautiful the special effects and the best atmosphere, it can't resist the blow brought by a story full of loopholes. Maybe our director Gore has directed more "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, forming a habit of thinking. The loopholes in the story can be filled with some fantasy and horror elements.
At the end of the movie, the hero and heroine left the sanatorium on bicycles, the hero showed a sinister smile on the bicycle, and the front teeth that were poked by the electric drill actually appeared intact. To be honest, I don’t really understand the suspense left by the director here. I want to explain that all this is like "Shutter Island". In the end, it is all the hero's own imagination; or, the hero's front teeth really grow by himself Come back, he is actually not an ordinary person. Maybe you can understand it any way you want. After all, watching the whole movie is a bit confusing, but you might as well divide this movie into countless small segments, and you may be able to enjoy it without watching the cause and effect. It's like having a dream for more than two hours in the theater, because the world in the dream is often so illogical.
Many people spend a lot of time and energy to gain money and power, but feel that they are getting weaker and sicker day by day, and then exchange material wealth for their health. Just do a round.
When I was watching the movie, I was thinking, these rich people who went to the resort for recuperation paid expensive fees just to find the so-called antidote that could bring their own health. Squeeze it dry, but still feel that it has been treated, and the body is getting better and better. Probably these "upper people" thought they were completely healed when they were fed to the eels until their whole body collapsed and died. The world of rich people is really hard to understand.
In order to live we have to work, this is the rule of this world, and birth, old age, sickness and death are a kind of law, a kind of order, there will always be time for you. There is no need to fight useless against nature. After all, in the end, you will find that the victory you thought was just a dream, and the real you has been exhausted. So, if the body doesn't have the means to stay young forever, keep the mind healthy, because it seems to have more possibilities than nature gives our body.
