Movie Review: Awakenings
I've watched a beautiful movie today, Awakenings. Robin Williams played the role of a doctor and Robert De Niro is a patient. The movie is about a new drug effect on patients who are suffering from the Parkinson disease. One thing that captivated me so much is Robert De Niro’s smile when he wakes up from his catatonic state after 30 years . It brought tears to my eyes. It also made me wonder in awe about the Doctor’s feelings when his efforts brought that smile on his patient’s face. During the short span of time the patients are "awakened", they do every small thing with such a delight that most of us take for granted. Throughout the film, you realize that life is given to us and taken back later. We have this short span of time when we could make our dreams come true and do things that make a difference. Life is important and it is not something that can be thrown out carelessly. Life is beautiful! Enjoy it!!! Respect it!!!
