Full marks for the first half, a little procrastination for the second half

1. The first half is a bit like "Shutter Island", with strong suspense and a lot of details. In about an hour, the story behind it is actually pretty clear, but some details are explained later, and some escape scenes are added. There are two leathers on the front and back, and the emphasis is different. The plot is actually a little off.
2. Although the picture is a little weird and terrifying, it is very beautiful. Not only in the orderliness, but also in the beauty of the scenery, the sense of picture and the tone are very beautiful. Of course, there are also some exposed, bloody, and terrifying images. It's okay to speed up and flash through, but don't look closely, you will feel that there will be shadows. (Like water...) The music goes well with the picture. The editing is fast-paced.
3. In terms of actors, although the male protagonist is not handsome (nostrils play), his acting skills are online. The girl Hannah doesn't have eyebrows, so she's not pretty, but she's morbid and ignorant. Everyone's acting skills are online, but unfortunately I am blind, and a group of old people basically can't tell who is who.

To sum up, picture, music, acting skills——☆☆☆☆☆
plot, rhythm, plot——☆☆☆☆

    When I watched the split, I saw the trailer, and I watched it for the little green goblin (I don’t know if it’s to adapt to the character or to get closer to the old plum with a fat double chin). How can a horror film be 18x), the film ran wildly in the direction of German orthopaedics and ghost fathers. After reading the analysis and fine-grained plot, it was finally fixed on the public welfare film "Caring for the Family". The atmosphere of the music screen is very comfortable.

    Legs in plaster casts and individuals bound in space... / Very Kubrick indeed, but I always think of Foucault's doctoral dissertation / Although far from Rango, I still feel the director's preference for the soundtrack in the film . /Interestingly, the Swiss guy who watched it together thought the film was very 'Swiss', probably because of the Frankenstein movie variant? /Alien's oral type is available although there is no 12inch/Toothache...

A Cure for Wellness quotes

  • 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?

  • Lockhart: Another ballerina?

    Lockhart's Mother: She's not like the others.

    Lockhart: Why's that?

    Lockhart's Mother: [winding the music box] She lives in a dream.

    Lockhart: [as the figure twirls to a melancholy tune] But she's dancing.

    Lockhart's Mother: That's because she doesn't know she's dreaming.
