This movie has depicted what people should be doing in their everyday life, which is to enjoy life or to take risks and chances in pursuing their goals instead of keep being in one's protective shell. Other than that, I see that it depicted that people tend to comment things negatively where the doctors believed there was no hope for the catatonic patients. Likewise, it made me think again to why people don't know how to appreciate things in life or why they lost hope in things. From what I see, people tend to think that there is always a way out to things eventually or they are just unconscious of what exactly is important to them. This was shown by how Dr. Sayers showed no interest in going out with Nurse Eleanor until he realized how he felt for her later in the film.
After watching and reflecting on what Dr. Goh asked, I find that the influence of the movie is based on different unique perceptions. This movie really did moved most of the audience. Yet, I think not all audience feels the same way. Some might change to a better while others perceive it neutrally. It may not be because of the movie quality, but unique individuals' perception of how they perceive it. I believe that the movie did not actually inspired me to live my life to the fullest due to my own factors. But, it did in fact hit me again with reality and encouraged me to crack open my protective shell slightly wider.
Honestly, the character I like the most in this film would be Rolando, next to the Leonard and Dr. Sayer combo. In the movie, Rolando is one of many catatonic patients who did not speak and uses music to express himself. I believe I connected with his character because I love to play and listen to music. I also like how Rolando could talk/sing through his piano and my jealousy increases my attraction to him. The scene where the nurse barged in and uttered "It's a f***-ing miracle" made me in awe for the scriptwriter and the director whom were clever to create comedy by breaking the representative heuristics of a nurse.
Additionally, I’m interested in becoming a psychiatrist. So, I find this movie a little helpful for what to expect for the future. Therefore, I should be able to start on preparing myself for that ‘anything can happen’ and to 'never give up trying'.
