Awakenings

[~*Ashiee*~]

ok this move really touched me
it is based on a true story and it is really medical and psychological
not for the young ones, might not appeal to them

it is an old show came out in 1990 staring robbie williams and Robert De Niro.

A neuologist uses as experimental drug to treat a group of patients from suffer from a sleeping illness. They were in a conscious state but seemed to be out of the world.

saddly the drug only worked for a certain time and they eventually went back into their zombie like state.

Check this movie out and tell me what you think, if any of you all already saw it tell me your opinions.

HBO 10.30 Thurs TMC 10.35am and 9.pm
can look in listing for other times

Beautiful movie. One of my all-time favorites. First movie to ever move me to tears. I'm glad they're showing it on cable these days.

The scene where he was shaking and the girl danced with him...damn. The music they were playing at that point...the whole thing was just heartbreaking, especially when she left.

When he started the revolt and then couldn't even stand up the next morning.

When he was getting the seizure and he told the doctor to tape him. "Learn...learn...learn.."

Jeez.

This movie made me real sad. Real emotional. Robin Williams and De Niro were bosses in it too.

Good movie choice, chick.

kayo i loved it
i was really sorry for him and that girl
and his mother went through real stress

it was real sad when we went back into his comatised state....

you know what sturck me, when all the staff gave up their pay cheques for the drug to be administer to all the patients, it is reall sad and scary that this was really based on a true story

i am glad that other people saw it and were touched by it also
