1969: Dr Malcolm Sayer (Robin Williams) takes up a post at Bainbridge Hospital, New York. Among his patients, he discovers a group of forgotten survivors of the 1916 Sleeping Sickness epidemic - a virus that turned its victims into living statues. He is particularly drawn to one of these victims, Leonard Lowe (Robert de Niro). With a new experimental drug, Dr Sayer discovers a vital key to awakening in himself long dormant capacities for love and friendship. Inspirational and critically acclaimed "Awakenings" is based on a true and haunting story.
This movie is based on a true story. A marvelous performance by Robin Williams who plays Dr Malcolm Sayer, who takes up a new post at the Bainbridge Hospital and discovers a group of patients that have been in a semi-coma for several decades as a result of an epidemic many years earlier. This is not an edge of your seat action movie, but you will remained glued to the set. Very enjoyable, but might put a tear in the eye of some.
