This film tells a similar story. A promising young man with a bright future, but suffers from congenital heart disease and needs a heart transplant. However, the operation was actually a hoax, and his doctor friend and his wife teamed up to deceive him, wanting him to die on the operating table, and then embezzling his property. When the fire of his life was about to go out, it was his mother who rekindled hope and exchanged her own life for her son's life.
The whole story takes a twist, it's beautiful, and it's very touching. The coldness in the front makes it even more tender in the back. The rhythm of the film is also well grasped, the details are complete and thorough, and the burden behind can be foreshadowed in the front. The music also works just right. The performances of the actors are also commendable, especially our beautiful Jessica Alba, who is even more impressive this time than the re-acquaintance of her in the American version of Hell. It's unfair to say that she doesn't have acting skills before. Maybe her pretty face is too radiant, covering up a lot of other flashes on her body. On the other hand, this is also a misfortune of beauty. Of course, on the other hand, it is also because it is easier to play the villain, because the good guys are different, and the bad guys have their own bad ways, and there is room to play.
The name of the film is called Awake, which literally translates to "awake", which refers to the protagonist undergoing surgery while his brain is awake. This is a very painful and cruel thing, but in fact has nothing to do with the film. Even the sobriety of the protagonist has nothing to do with the development of the story of the film, because although he is out of body, his body is still lying on the operating table, which is not helpful for solving the problem. It is his mother who really finds the problem and makes a decision. . The protagonist's sobriety and out-of-bodyness is to concretize the metaphor that his life's fire is gradually extinguished, as well as the emotional farewell to his mother. That is, not essential, but icing on the cake.
