Actually this is a romance movie (well, it's so superficial)

Although there are many things I didn't understand, including the strange smile of the hero in the ending, I was still excited to see this ending. Seeing the male lead and the female lead fleeing this nightmare place, I felt redemption.
To be honest, if the female lead is more beautiful and the male lead is in Man, this is really a proper gothic love movie, full of black suspense, mysticism storyline, um, and forbidden. Obsessive description. I think if the suspense is less, and there are more scenes of the male and female protagonist, and a romance film is made, this theme should be very successful (well, it is so superficial). However, this does not prevent me from liking this movie. The Alps under the lens are beautiful, dark, and evil.
There are shadows hidden under the beautiful scenery

When they met for the first time, the gray hue made everything covered with a veil

Tell me what I didn’t understand:
1. Did the salesman who died at the beginning of the movie died naturally?
2. What kind of creatures are those fish in the sanatorium?
3. The staff in the hospital and the evil dean all take the so-called antidote. Why do those fish still attack the dean?
4. How did other patients become obsessed and refuse to leave this place for brainwashing? Hypnosis?
5. Keep reviewing the deaths of the male protagonist’s mother and father. Does it mean that the male protagonist has serious psychological trauma and mental illness, and the female protagonist has fallen into the pit again?
Maybe you will gain something when you brush it a second time. After reading it the first time, it was a bit obscure and difficult to understand, and some plots were slightly procrastinated.

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?
