2020.11.2 "Life-saving Antidote"

If it is a perfect score, I should give it a 7.5.

"The Antidote" should be regarded as the first complete suspense thriller I've watched, because when I read the introduction, it said that this nursing home hides a secret, and the tone of the film is also trying to exaggerate this atmosphere, including the dubbing, so I just started watching it. I felt a little strange about this kind of spiral road, and there are two eel heads on the iron gate. Of course, I only knew it after reading other people's film reviews. I thought it was snake heads....

Including the first time I entered the spa in the big tank, I thought it was a real eel, and the sanatorium used a special method or channel to suck the eel back... It turned out to be the hallucination of the male protagonist. And the female nurse took off her clothes, it really scared me, I thought it was a mummy....

And the eel in the toilet tank is also an illusion of the male protagonist.

It hurts to look at the picture of the tooth being pulled.

The eel surrounded the heroine, I thought it was going to get into her body, I was startled...

After reading the film review, I realized that extracting oil or essence from people is the secret recipe for the baron to stay immortal, and it may be that this is the way to obtain the local government's non-jurisdiction.

It should be a hint that the male protagonist goes down the mountain to find the butcher, but he just doesn't know if the eel in the cow's stomach is a real eel or a hallucination.

The Baron's actor is really good. When I first watched it, many people said that the director was a good person, and I thought he was the final boss hahaha~

Of course, some people say that most of them are the dreams of the male protagonist's mother. The female protagonist symbolizes the male protagonist's mother. The imprisonment in the nursing home makes her feel very painful, which explains why the female protagonist can sing the songs of the male protagonist's mother's music box.

However, the clone's statement feels a bit far-fetched, and it is said that the boss is not actually dead, and the one who died is just another person wearing a human skin mask.

I don't want to see this creature recently, and I always feel goosebumps all over.

I hope I won't have a dream tonight...especially if the cover is still filled with eels? Ahhh...

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?
