How should I put it, it's not the kind of thriller with gongs and drums, but boiled frogs in warm water. At the beginning, when the train enters the tunnel and prepares to reach the destination, and when you look at the distant mountains in the sanatorium, the scenery is beautiful, isn't it? Everything looks beautiful, and it is indeed a place for the elderly to recuperate. But as the plot deepens and advances layer by layer, you will find that this is a devil, right? How beautiful it looks on the outside, how evil it is on the inside. Obviously, the nobility wanted to maintain a pure bloodline and combine with his sister's brain circuit, which was not biologically or morally wrong. Let’s talk about a few more details. 1. The male protagonist woke up from the hospital bed and drank a glass of water. He found a small thing on the wall of the cup, probably an eel’s egg or something; 2. The decoration in the sanatorium was clearly The standard configuration of haunted houses is okay; 3. Why is there a shortage of water after drinking so much water? Just a few cups of water enough to raise a bunch of eels? After that, the water he drank was not enough for the body to maintain normal physiological functions, and he was arrested to extract "vitamins" for the great devil dean to "keep youth forever". 4. The people in the town are afraid and apprehensive of this "dean". In addition to the money relationship, there are all kinds of terrifying methods they have seen. In short, coercion + lure. 5. What is interesting is that the heroine who has always lived in a world of "perfect protection", no matter how pink the room is decorated, no matter how romantic and warm, it is not as good as the hormonal impulse brought to her by a young and strong man. effective. It's not particularly brilliant, but it's also great, every shot, the beauty is suffocating, the horror is also breath-taking, mind-numbing, as if immersed in the scene.

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?
