Acting + plot = perfect work, Reivew on Awakenings

My favorite actor, Robert De Niro, is not only an excellent gangster, but he also shows meticulous gestures and subtleties in his performance of this patient who has awakened from a vegetative state. In fact, there are not a few people in the play who can be regarded as old dramas. Robin is very good in showing the image of an introverted, kind and persistent doctor. Julie is so considerate, gentle and considerate. It is a perfect crew that has created a nearly perfect film, an outstanding work adapted from a real story.

The film ended in tragedy. The once awake patient fell asleep again, which made people feel horrified; especially when De Niro trembled and danced the last dance with Julie, tears filled my eyes. In the eyes of ordinary people, the ordinary life is so precious to these patients. Compared with those high-profile movies where life is precious, this film shows a powerful force that is silent but sound.

A terrible title made many domestic friends not even know that this is the same great but more restrained work that is contemporary with Shawshank's salvation. What a pity...
