Detail 1: The credit card Morris received a letter with eel lacquer, but died of myocardial infarction in the future and unpacking. It can be guessed that this letter was sent to him by Pembroke from the nursing home. Detail 2: The male protagonist took a cardboard box to his new office. When the secretary came knocking on the door, the photos on the cabinet and the dead goldfish indicated that this was Morris's office before his death. This is how the financial society takes its place. People will only spend 5 seconds mourning you. Detail 3: When the male protagonist had a conversation with the full-time driver, the driver said: A son learns what it is to be a man from his father. Am I right? Follow his mistakes. Detail 4: The dialogue between the hero and his mother, -She livs in a dream.-But she's dancing.-That's because she doesn't know she's dreaming. It metaphors that the next thing is a mother's dream. Detail 5: The male protagonist came to the nursing home for the first time and answered Mrs. Watkins's anagram is Absolution (pardon). The metaphorical male protagonist may be the only person in this nursing home who is free from brainwashing and restraint. Detail 6: The male lead found the director of the nursing home. The shots of deer eyes and deer heads in the office suggested that Lockhart's car accident after drinking water was actually an illusion based on what he saw. Detail 7: After the car accident, the mother woke up from her dream. The screen flashed with eels, blue bottle distillation, Hannah spinning in the water, his son trapped in the water tank, the burned portrait of Baroness, and the baron in the photo enlarged from the bottom of the cup. When the mother died, the sound box in her hand fell to the ground, and the dancer she took from the male lead did not have a base. It can be inferred that the rest of the matter happened after the mother's death. Detail 8: After the car accident, the male owner returned to the nursing home. After talking to the baron, he glanced at his watch. The time stopped at 3 to 7 am, which was the same as the time he was told at the front desk that the visitation time was out of date. It may imply that none of these stories actually happened. Detail 9: The male lead went to Room 609 to find Pembroke. There was blood on the pillow. It is speculated that Pembroke's tooth loss was already very serious at this time, and the male lead saw the deer in the bathhouse and Pembroke without the tooth loss were hallucinations. Detail 10: When the male protagonist had his front teeth removed and fled to the mountain to call the police, the Pembroke that appeared here may be a face-changing stand-in, and the voice and tone of his speech are different from before. But the police had been bought by the baron a long time ago, and the baron didn't need to make any extra effort to prove anything. Either the baron is trying to break down the male protagonist's mental defense, or it is simply the illusion of the male protagonist. Detail 11: The male lead was taken back to the nursing home from the foot of the mountain for the second time. After he wrote the letter, two scenes appeared. One is that just like he saw Pembroke in the water tank, Hannah saw the male lead in the water tank, who had missing teeth and casts on his feet. The second is that the male lead jumped off the bridge like his father. Since the dead in the nursing home are thrown into the lake at night to feed the eels, the male protagonist sees that the water tank where the corpse is placed does not exist but his hallucinations, implying that the souls of the people who have been thoroughly brainwashed by this place die here, just like imprisonment. The same in the water tank. Hannah saw the male lead explaining that he was also completely brainwashed by this place and "dead" here. The second scene shows that the hero has made the same mistakes as his father. Detail 12: It is almost impossible for the executives of the company to come to the nursing home together during their busy schedule, so his car accident at the end is probably also an illusion, and his weird smile is that he broke through the shackles, gave up his financial career, and won NS Hannah and the refreshing feeling from the heart. Summary: Combining the contents of the two letters from Pembroke and the male protagonist, the core of this film is that Ambition (ambition/professionalism) is the crux of the illness, and at the same time it leads to the male protagonist’s neglect of care for his mother. There are three main meanings expressed in the film. One is that in the financial era, human beings are overly chasing fame and gain, regardless of sacrifices, packaging themselves with the illusion of material success, deceiving and concealing, climbing all the way to the peak of so-called success, and feeling superior to others. The second is the loneliness and powerlessness of the elderly who are entrusted to die in nursing homes. The third is the theory of blood ethics. Sorting out the sequence of the story after analysis: 1. Pembroke went to the nursing home and did not come back for a long time. 2. Pembroke sent a letter to Morris, stating that he had changed his mind (brainwashed) and do not contact him again. 3. Morris received the letter, but he died of myocardial infarction while he was busy working, and the letter was not opened. 4. The male lead Lockhart moved into the new office, was called to the meeting room, saw the content of the letter, and accepted the task of going to the nursing home to pick up Pembroke. 5. The male lead went to the nursing home to see his mother, talked to her, and mentioned this mission and promotion. 6. My mother had a dream, dreaming of the whole story about the nursing home and the baron, and then she woke up and died. 7. The male protagonist cremated his mother, took the broken dancer without a base, and embarked on the road to the nursing home to perform the task. All subsequent car accidents, investigations, going down to the bar, removing teeth, filling eels, discovering underground laboratories, and killing the baron all happened in the dream before the death of the male protagonist’s mother. As for the real situation of the male protagonist going to the nursing home to pick up Pembroke after the death of his mother, there are three possibilities: 1. Although the nursing home will be brainwashed, it is not a cult organization, or there is no such black history at all. The hero went, saw Pembroke, took it back to New York, and it was done. After returning home, the hero continues his financial career and repeats his father's mistakes. 2. The sanatorium and the baron were indeed involved. After the male lead picked up Pembroke, he was completely brainwashed. He stayed in the sanatorium and was completely drained, saying "Why would anybody wanna leave?" 3. The real situation is exactly the same as the mother's dream. The male protagonist discovered the truth, killed the Baron, rescued Hannah and gave up his financial career, and fulfilled his mother's wish. I personally think that the second possibility is 55%, the third is 35%, and the first is 10%. The real situation is exactly the same as the mother's dream. The male protagonist discovered the truth, killed the Baron, rescued Hannah and gave up his financial career, and fulfilled his mother's wish. I personally think that the second possibility is 55%, the third is 35%, and the first is 10%.

A Cure for Wellness quotes

  • 9 Year Old Lockhart: Dad? Dad!

    [on seeing his father jump off a bridge]

    Hollis: Ever been fucked in the ass by a twelve inch black dick? We're talking about prison here.

  • Volmer: You're quite right - the water is toxic unless it's purified properly. That Baron's only problem was using unwilling subjects. We've come along way in the past two hundred years. Now, we have plenty of willing volunteers seeking to cure themselves of the ills of the world.

    Pembroke: [brainwashed] I've never felt better in my life.

    Volmer: [to Lockhart] You see? Why would anybody want to leave?
