Overview

Based on a true story as related by neurologist Oliver Sacks, Awakenings stars Robin Williams as the Sacks counterpart, here named Dr. Malcolm Sayer. Something of a klutz and naif, Dr. Sayer takes a job at a Bronx psychiatric hospital in 1969. Here he's put in charge of several seemingly catatonic patients who, under Sayer's painstaking guidance, begin responding to certain stimulati. Apprised of the efficacy of a new drug called L-DOPA in treating degenerative-disease victims, Sayer is given permission to test the drug on one of his patients: Leonard Lowe Robert De Niro, who has not communicated with anyone since lapsing into catatonia as a child.

    A truly magnificent story

    This film is one of the few movies based on actual events that I really enjoyed. Because it is a true story, it is not only entertaining but also educational. In my opinion, Robin Williams gave one of his best performance in this movie. He captured so well the essence of being a philantropic doctor, who is frustrated with life's injustice, touched by the patients, recovery, motivated to surge on to find a cure for his patiens' illness.
