"Silent Asking the Heaven" (based on real events)
I watched it off and on for four days a while ago. . . The 1990 film, 2 hours long.
It talks about a dedicated doctor who hopes to treat patients with encephalitis lethargica well, carefully observes, records and finds information about related cases every day.
By chance, he came up with an idea: treat this encephalitis with drugs for Parkinson's, and he thought some of the ingredients might be useful. So, he chose a patient, fed medicine and escorted him personally, and sure enough, a miracle happened very quickly-the case woke up from decades of coma after taking medicine, and regained his ability to think and act, and his family also Extremely excited. Therefore, the doctor promoted the program, and other patients with the same condition in the hospital took it, and they all woke up from "lethargy". Everything is recovering like "reconstruction after the disaster".
But the world has completely changed, the family and society are still moving forward while they are asleep, the patient has been asleep for too long, obviously out of touch, but it's always good to wake up anyway. ——This is the first climax, but the overall atmosphere is very good, only a touch of sadness.
Soon, the side effects of the drug became apparent: the patient would experience cramps and tremors. A small amount has no effect. The dosage is large, the patient can't stand it, and the effect is unstable. Slowly, the patient's "encephalitis lethargic" relapsed, and they gradually lost their ability to act. The doctor has no choice. The end is: they fell into a "coma" state again, unable to communicate with the outside world. The doctor is very painful. ——This is the second orgasm, painful and helpless.
The story goes back to where it started. But we all know that everything is actually different from the starting point.
The ups and downs of the mood, the hope and despair, the desperate and helpless, the patient who has been out of touch for decades after waking up from a coma, the patient who has fallen into a coma again, and the family who follow the steps, is everything just in vain? Which is better to do or not to do a lot of things? Do they wake up to worldly happiness, or do they sleep and die for the other side of luck? What exactly is good and bad?
In the end, when the doctor looked at the background where his usual work partner was gone, and suddenly rushed out to invite her to have coffee with him, his motivation came from a small conversation he had when a patient who had been in a coma for 30 years woke up.
However, it is not enough to have inspiration in life, it also needs a carrier.
Does it all make no sense, obviously not, but is that enough? Certainly not enough.
