The reason why this suspenseful horror film is underestimated by many fans is that there are indeed too many metaphors, and it is difficult to directly relate it. If you only watch it once, it is really difficult to fully understand, and the ending is open, so it is easy to be understood as top-heavy Inexpensive suspense movie! After carefully watching the film and reading several film reviews for comparison, I came to a more reliable logic, so that the appreciation of the film immediately increased! There are several key points: 1. The blurred state of the male protagonist is a metaphor for the mental sub-health of modern society, and his father also committed suicide due to the pressure of modern society, which makes the male protagonist mentally unhealthy. The mother knows his condition and gave him a The girl dancing with her eyes closed implies that the girl actually refers to the male protagonist, and the mother wants him to wake up and recover! 2. The female protagonist was imagined from the dancing doll with eyes closed and dancing given to him by the male protagonist's mother, which is also a metaphor! In fact, he is the same person as the male protagonist, which reflects his state of being injured by his father's suicide before he was a minor! 3. At the beginning, the sudden death of the employee of the financial company from overwork is a metaphor for the theme of the film! Not superfluous, otherwise this paragraph is meaningless! 4. In addition to the baron, the male and female protagonists together, implying that the male protagonist hopes to eliminate the strong desire to get rid of the damage to his heart caused by his father's suicide! 5. The car of the person who did not get into the company implies the desire to get rid of the current stress and other troubles in life! 6. The weird smile at the end implies that the male protagonist may enter another inner ordeal without a recovery period.

    Modern gothic style. The rhythm is very steady, there is time for precipitation, so it is not a surprise, but all kinds of weird. The director basically uses sight and hearing to shake the burden, rather than relying on lines. The place that should be disgusting does not deliberately disgust you, there is a kind of temperate beauty. But when the male protagonist is forced to open his mouth and throat, he can feel the collective discomfort of the whole theater

A Cure for Wellness quotes

  • Pembroke: [Lockhart reading his letter] To my fellow-members of the Board. A man cannot unsee the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness, or go blind once he has the gift of sight, any more than he can be unborn. We are the only species capable of self-reflection. The only species with the toxin of self-doubt written into our genetic code. Unequal to our gifts, we build, we buy, we consume. We wrap us in the illusion of material success. We cheat and deceive as we claw our way to the pinnacle of what we define as achievement. Superiority to other men.

  • 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?
