AWAKENINGS

 AWAKENINGS the movie is based on the true story of a Neurologist Oliver Sacks played by very talented actor Robin Williams who discovered the miracle drug called L DOPA and its beneficial effect for the cure of patients with Parkinson's disease. 

In this movie, patients who are disabled with Post Encephalitic Syndrome. Showing signs of stroke actually. But the surprising event happened when their "reflex" is odd and bizarre. They can all catch a ball. A fast and quick reaction when something is thrown upon them. If they want to eat they are programmed on their favourite music to synchronize. 

The neurologist Oliver sacks concentrate on certain patients such as Lucy and Leonard Lowe played by talented actor Robert De Niro. Dr. Sacks introduced the L DOPA on Leonard and it helped him tremendously and he was cured. However, his ailment re-bounced when he was not allowed to walk outside by himself. Leonard started to feel the anxiety and tried to escape but he was forcefully stopped and later became verbally rebellious and then once again started the "tourette like syndrome." More so it is because he was once again "trapped." The rest of the patients who were cured also bounced back from being normally healthy to suffer the syndrome again.

What's really the problem?

1. GREAT DEPRESSION can do that to any ordinary human, no exception. Other humans are contemplating of suicides.

2. When freedom is put to a stop. When people are trapped and trust is no longer there. When humans feel they are treated just like criminals when they are NOT.

3. Psychological neurological problem of being misunderstood and being experimented again and again.

It seems that even if they are cured, what if those doctors are obsessed? Obsession seems a factor that led to such debilitating case. Doctors being afraid of not having patients? Afraid being unemployed? No more funding for their experiment?

Another factor with the re-bounce  is OVERDOSE. Have you seen and understand the movie wherein there is no definite dosage of L DOPA? The increase dosage as if they are being killed through experimentation. OVERDOSE of drugs can kill you! To treat humans just like guinea pigs? What the hell are they thinking?

Remember: Those patients have families so beware! Inflict injury on your patients and karma will haunt you for the rest of your lives.
