Another film that explores psychiatry, like Shutter Island with a compressed structure, and Ben Kingsley's participation in it again makes it easier for the audience to be preconceived. This film depicts the arduous journey of spiritual healing from mechanical to human, from fear to understanding. Spencer's masterpiece is so heartwarming, but Xiaozuo Gao can gain a clearer insight into the details of the movie, which has a different flavor.

This film is adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Therapy of Dr. Tull and Professor Feisel". It tells the story of a "normal person" who "mistakes" a mental hospital ruled by mental patients. The protagonist not only rescues the genuine medical staff and patients who were overthrown by Zuo, but also reaps the story of Zuo's love. The reason why mental hospitals and orphanages have become synonymous with darkness is nothing more than their dismal history, so the director will use the cruel methods we see today to treat patients, in Europe in the first half of the 19th century Not surprising at all, all because of our fear of this unknown disease. When people of this era didn't ask about the causes of psychosis and only cared about the current results, they chose to use fear and violence to deal with the unknown because this method was effective and saves trouble. But he is absolutely unable to cure the problem, only love is a real and effective doctor, the care and understanding that mental patients need. No matter whether the protagonist is from an orphanage or a mental hospital, because he has experienced this kind of abandonment and understands the humiliation in it, he can better understand what Lamb and his companions need, so he can gain victory.

This film is not complicated at all, but the simple story has many twists and turns, and the audience is expected to gradually open as the plot progresses. Although there are no tangled clues and puzzles, it still makes the audience feel After the curtain ended, there was an aftertaste of enlightenment.

The whole film is based on familiar British famous characters, and they all get together in this little-known niche, which is enough to prove how attractive this story is. Kate Beckinsale is more than forty years old and still looks great on the screen. Elegance and sophistication, it is so captivating and unforgettable.

Wonderful, although the main line is only revealed in half an hour, but it does not affect the film to become a masterpiece in a suspense film, I recommend it, do not collect it.

    Kate is still beautiful, and the therapeutic theories about mental illness are good, but the psychological timeline is wrong, and psychology should not have developed to that level in the early 20th century. It's a reversal, but this is Edgar Allan Poe's novel.
