Awake

December 29th 2007 23:19
Awake
Awake was written and directed by Joby Harold and starred most notably Hayden Christensen with Jessica Alba and Terrence Howard.

A fun fact for trivia fans, who had the co-starring actress role in the film originally?

Give up?

...Kate Bosworth, who dropped out when she got the part in Superman Returns.

Opening sequence and I quote "Each year, over 21 million people receive general anesthesia." So that you won't remember or feel anything whilst anything is going on and after watching this movie, I mean anything. "30,000 of the people who receive it are not so fortunate," as they are unable to sleep and are thus 'Awake', "trapped in a phenomenon known as anesthetic awareness. These victims are completely parallyzed. They cannot scream for help."

Awake features a powerful opening scene set by the music most importantly. Followed by an intimate entrance with our two lead characters in (Clay)Christensen and (Sam)Alba. This movie shows the harsh reality of hospitals and doctors that make you figuratively sign your life away so that they can pretty much do with you what they will, when it comes to operations.

I recommend this movie as it takes you to a place of almost personal fear of even things like this happening to you. I have had a person close to me go through a similar type operation and remember certain facts and the movie rings true in some parts. Another good solid movie and great ending.

Next movie up will be, I am Legend, followed by Charlie Wilson's War.
