Oliver Sacks 'Roles In The Movie Awakenings'
The movie Awakenings is a 1990 American drama film based on Oliver Sacks' 1973 memoir of the same title. It is one of the best movie that touches the heart of many people. It is the most emotionally stunning and profound moving journey that was based on a true to life story.
The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by
Walter Parkes and Lawrence Lasker. The Awakenings stars are Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, Julie Kavner, Ruth Nelson, John Heard, Penelope Ann Miller, and Max Von Sydow. It is a positively surprising career change of pace for its two leads Robin Williams and Robert De Niro.
Awakenings had big name-talent and Oscar nominations. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards including the Academy Award for Best Picture, the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and the Academy Award for Best Actor (Robert De Niro). Robin Williams was also nominathed at the 48th Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. In 1969, Dr. Malcolm Sayer is a dedicated and caring physician at a local hospital in the New York City borough of The Bronx. He has no experience in working with patients; indeed, his last project involved earthworms and he find himself with a ward full of catatonic patients. Leonard Lowe is one of the patients in the ward of Bronx mental hospital. It appears that nothing can be done for them.
