The bullshit about this great movie? Is the fact that the test subject (Robert Deniro) was 9 when he lost all consiousness. Yet "AWAKENED" to want to be an "Adult" Bullshit. Hollywood bullshit. He'd have no comprehension "Awakening" of anything of adult nature. Get the FUCK OUT OF HERE WITH THIS BULLSHIT! Movies like this are like Santa Claus shit.
@ArmageddonDr I supposed it should be more like Rocky II, right? pfft.. "Awakenings" is based on a true story. I suggest you pick up one of Dr. Oliver Sacks' books. "The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat" is my favorite. Of course, this movie is going to be a prettier version of what happened. No one could understand what it's like to recover from debilitating disease unless you've been there yourself. That's okay. It gives some insight into recovery and encourages people to appreciate life.
@ArmageddonDr It's based on a true story, and by "Awakening" he means that they were semi-conscious most of the time but couldn't move or express anything.
@IIlIQuANTuMllIl Looks like there are a couple of songs used in the trailer--"In Flight" by Michael Allen Harrison and "Something Special" by Randy Newman. I have to credit Shazam on my iPhone for figuring this out.
I really adore this marvelous film. Robin Williams was great and finally Robert De Niro showed not typical for him acting - yes, he was stunning. Other least famous actors/actresses were even more impressive. This film deserved at least 8 Oscars! Of course I expected happy end but it was based on true events so it was impossible from the beginning.
watching it right now, i have never seen r even heard of it before.
