yin and yang

Pasquale 2022-03-22 09:02:05

The title of the film is awake, does it mean what we call "the two worlds of yin and yang"?
This film involves a lot of things, family, friendship, love, mother, girlfriend, true love, fraud, money, traps, good doctors, bad doctors, and finally even the most cordial policeman.
But it is by no means a horror film. Compared with real life, it is neither scary nor frightening. It is almost an emotional film.
I'm glad it's not presented in terms of moral criticism. The one that goes further in this regard is "Eden Lake", which is really a horror movie; Happier is that Awake also has a moral ending, This is really pleasing to the psychologically fragile and superficial audience like me.

Awake quotes

  • Clay Beresford: So it's tough love today, huh?

    Dr. Jack Harper: You think this is a joke?

  • Dr. Jack Harper: [closing narration] At 6:32 this morning, on Thursday the 1st of November, Clayton Beresford Jr. died on my operating table. Two and a half hours later, his life was saved. There are no excuses for what we did. There's no defense, no-one to blame but us. We got what we deserved. Clay would have his revenge, and justice would finally be served. But despite all the secrets, despite all the lies, and a terrible loss, one thing really matters now. He... is... awake.
