Awake

I was watching this awesome movie on star movies channel today. It is entitled awake. Well, i think it is a good movie though the front part somehow makes you a bit confuse. The climax and ending of the story is damn good. When i first saw the title and preview i just thought that it is another movie that reflects some medical mistake that doctors make and another movie to the insight of the some what corrupted part of the medical field where medical practioners of higher hierachy in the hospital often have their grave mistakes covered up. It did not turn out to be what i expected and the story was twisted in a fantastic way. The twist was one that was unexpected. It is a very short movie. Probably one of the shortest i've watch. Say it was only an hour and 20 mins like that. Anyway, this movie is about this freaking rich and smart guy who took over his father's great business and probably one of the richest guy in US. He suffers from a congenital heart disease and needs to have a heart transplant in order to survive. He is of a rare blood type and so had a hard time waiting for a suitable heart. He was in a conflict with his mother whom he was very close to and who he survived with alone since young. His father was killed by his own mother as his father was abusive and his mother accidentally killed his father in order to protect him. His mother could not agree with the gal that he loved and wanted to make his wife and the surgeon who was his good friend and saved his life to do the transplantation. His mother insisted on having a top surgeon whom she found to do this transplantation for him. He went ahead with his decision. What happens was he belonged to this minority group of people whose bodies cannot respond to anaesthesia properly. Instead of really being asleep, he was paralyzed. He appeared to be asleep but yet he was constantly mentally conscious of all the pain and procedures and could hear everything that was going on in the operating theatre. It was halfway through the operation that he overheard the conversations going on between the surgeon and nurses and realized that the gal he loved so much and his best friend whom he trusted so much actually betrayed him. This surgery was all part of their plan to inherit his wealth. His mother saved him by realizing all the loopholes and finally called the surgeon whom she trusted to come down and perform another transplantation. This time round, using her heart. After calling the surgeon, she killed herself and gave her heart to him.

He really must have felt so helpless, lying there paralyzed, realizing that the people he trusted the most betrayed him.
