Movie Review - “Awake”

Just yesterday I watched a pretty good movie called “Awake”.

Here’s a quick summary from IMDB.com.

Awake (2007)

Every year, one in 700 people wake up during surgery. When they planned her husband’s murder, they never thought he’d be the one.

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS

So I just watched this movie yesterday, and I have to say it was pretty good and damn scary at times. It’s about a young billionaire who has a heart condition and desperately needs a transplant. He meets a girl with whom he falls in love with, when in fact that girl is a nurse working in the hospital where he will be operated, and also she is friends with the surgeon and the other doctors that will perform the heart transplant operation. Their plan is to operate on him, inject the new heart with some killer substance, put the heart in, and then say that the transplant failed. Since the girl he met, the nurse, became his wife, she would get all the money after he died, and she could share with all the other doctors. This plan though, fails miserably. Hayden Christiansen, the guy that plays the billionaire, gets something called “anesthesia awareness” during his surgery, meaning he is awake during the operation, he can hear everything, and the worst of all, FEEL anything. The other worst part is that he can’t move anything, he is stuck there, on the operating table, hearing the doctors, and the sound of the saw machine used to cut open the chest. Oh my god, in the scene where they started opening his chest, and at the same time we “hear” the thoughts of Hayden, the screams. I can’t even imagine how damn awful it must be, having your chest open with a saw, while being totally awake, but not being able to stop it. He tries to calm himself by thinking of his new wife, Jessica Alba, and I have to say she does look pretty in the movie. Eventually, on the operating table, he learns that all the doctors are planning to kill him. He is like “WTF???? WTF did I do??”, since the surgeon was actually his friend. So goes again to thinking about his new wife, and then she enters the room. Hayden that learns she is also in the plot to kill him so then is like MAJOR WTF. She exits the room by saying something in the ways of “We didn’t even know each other” which makes Hayden cry… That was pretty sad, since they looked like a pretty good couple together, it really looked like they loved each other. Ok, so what happens next? The surgeons manage to pull it off and they tell his mother that the operation wasn’t successful, but his is still in bypass. The mother though, was pretty damn noticing and she saw through the fog, and noticed what the new wife and the surgeons are planning. So she sees killing herself as the only option, so that her son can get her heart. So she takes a whole bottle of pills, and kills herself. Then the police come because one of the guys, surgeons, gets scared and tells the whole story, looks like he doesn’t want to end up in jail. Then the new surgeons come, and they transplant the heart successfully YAYAYAY. And then WTF, the movie ends…. I mean, come on, at least give us a cool ending, like Hayden Christiansen meeting up with Jessica again and saying like “But why????”. That would be a good scene to watch. One of the things that really made me think in the movie is why she did it…. I mean, she married him anyways, and he loved her so much that he would allow her to spend as much money as she wants anyways. By being in a plot to kill him, she not only risks legal action, but if it is successful, she would need to share it with like 5 other people…. Just why…..?

Ok, so what did I learn from this movie, aka what was the motif?

NEVER FUCKING TRUST ANYONE, NOT PRETTY GIRLS, NOT DOCTOR FRIENDS. OH YEAH, YOU CAN TRUST YOUR MOM!!!
