I saw the beauty

Based on the original story of Wibinski and screenwriter Justin Heather, it is also the first horror film directed by Gore Wibinski after "Midnight Bell" in 2002. After seeing the trailer and poster, let I look forward to it very much, but I hesitated when I heard that the box office and word of mouth were not good, but in the end it was still no match for the love of this kind of film.
The film tells the story of an ambitious young executive (played by Dane De Haan) who is sent to the Swiss Alps to bring the company's CEO back from a mysterious "health center." Unexpectedly, not long after entering the clinic, he discovered that the boss not only disappeared from the world, but this clinic has another mysterious idea.
Speaking of conscience, just from the audiovisual point of view, whether it is the magnificence and beauty of the Swiss Alps, or the scenes such as "deer bumping", they are very amazing. The appearance and temperament of the male and female protagonists are also too good to say. It's a pity that I lost the screenwriter's unreasonable contrivance and patchwork.

    I'm too stupid to understand

    Gothic films are more emotional. The film is well done in art and photography. Destroyed in the length of the film. Although the protagonist Zhi's death is a must for this type of film, the protagonist "discovered" -> "fleeing" -> "catch back" repeated too many times and lost the rhythm. Motivation is closely tied to the times and points are added back. Financial and technology bigwigs are keen on longevity, and "transfusion of youth blood" and "gene modification" are all topics. To live forever by inhaling human spirits will soon be no longer the patent of the old demon in Montenegro

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?
