Awakenings: Speechless to ask the sky

This is a film from many years ago, and I find that few people write reviews for it here.
I rarely cry, and I rarely cry for movies. When I accidentally saw Awakenings, I found out that the human tear glands can be terrifying.
At the time, he was still a teenage boy. At night, the family slept and watched
TV .

To this day, I still clearly remember
the dazed and even excited expressions of those who have been "sleeping" for ten years, twenty years, or even most of their lives after waking up. Lawrence, who has been in his thirties since he "
slept " when he was in his teens
Organize together,
walk with the legs that have been lying down for decades, and walk back to the lost memories.
At this time, Lawrence met the woman in his life, the woman's father was a vegetable.
She reads to her father every day. Lawrence told the woman that "he could hear it and understand it in his heart
". However, he dared not tell her that he had been in a vegetative state. Lawrence and the woman
silently built up a relationship in the hospital.
Medicines are expensive, vegetative people need these medicines, and medicines need money. No one is willing to donate
is just a temporary research result. At the doctor's advice, Lawrence expressed his
feelings about being in a vegetative state. A very ordinary video that made the donors cry. Funding is finally there.
It is a pity that the medicine will fail after taking too much. Gradually, the amount of medicine for each patient is increasing.
Lawrence also finds it more and more difficult for him to control his consciousness and control his feet to walk well. He goes crazy
and wants to go out to find that one. Woman, he is afraid, he has never told that woman any
feeling in his heart.
In the end, everything returned to calm again, and the person who was originally sleeping continued to sleep, and the previous awakening was like
Same as back light.
Lawrence fell asleep, but there was a woman beside the bed, silently studying for him.

After watching it that time, I really didn't have the courage to watch it a second time.
I watched it on Hong Kong Pearl TV, and the translation was "Ask the Heaven Without Words", I think it can better express the helplessness in it.
After reading it, I was really speechless to ask the heavens.

    If one day we are in a coma, what can we do, we don't know anything, everything is at the mercy of others, but if one day we wake up again, even if we can't be sure that we'll be in a mess again that day , I want to be in charge of my own life when I am awake.

    Sometimes it's just a matter of clinging to the existence of miracles.

Awakenings quotes

  • Mrs. Lowe: Oh, hello boys.

    Leonard's Friend #1: Hi, Mrs. Lowe. Can I come up to play today?

    Mrs. Lowe: Uh, no. I am sorry. Better not today.

    Leonard's Friend #1: Oh, how about tomorrow?

    Mrs. Lowe: Well, I am afraid, he won't be well by then either.

    Leonard's Friend #1: Will he be well?

    Mrs. Lowe: I don't know.

  • Leonard Lowe: "I'm all right, and then everything stops, There's no warning, It's like a light switch going off. It happens that fast. Something has to happen to bring me back. A sound or a touch. And then I can move again, I'm okay again. It's not that it feels bad, It's just that it's nothing. I feel nothing, like I'm dead. Nothing. Gets to be like I'm no a person anymore. Just a collection of tics. Not that I mind them necessarily. Sometimes they make life kind of interesting. Though I'm not sure who's in control, me or them. What I do mind is knowing that they shouldn't be there".
