at the beginning of the video was a dark scene for a long time.
Then, use subtitles to remind each audience: This film is adapted from real events .
And the shock of this sentence may be until the end of the film before you can truly understand it. At this time, we realized that such a horrible story actually happened...
Of course, there is another important reason to pay attention to this video, because it is also an Oscar-based video. Whether it is schedule setting, lineup combination, including subject selection, no matter how you look at it, they are all aiming for next year's Oscars, and they are ambitious.
Yes, this movie is " Nurse of Conscience "
First of all, everyone should be concerned about the two starring actors in this film, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne .
This is a real Oscar-level actor group (Oscar winner + Oscar winner). Such a film cannot be said to be hard-working without making the Oscar awards.
At the same time, the theme chosen in this film is also very Oscars. As mentioned earlier, the film is adapted from real events, and the story prototype has also caused a sensation.
The film starring Eddie Redmayne plays a nurse named Charles Cullen in the film. This person looks honest and quiet on the surface.
But in fact, he is a murderer.
During his tenure as a nurse, he murdered multiple patients by injecting insulin or other drugs into the patient's injection.
Until the time of his arrest in 2003, during the 16 years, he admitted that there were more than 40 patients killed, of which 29 were confirmed. According to police estimates, he may have killed more people, even more than 400 people.
For this reason, he will serve his sentence until 2403.
Charles Kullen
A story like this cold-blooded murderer will naturally be very topical and also a topic that Oscar likes very much. Especially, his actor is "Little Freckles" Eddie , which is very attractive to think about.
However, the protagonist of this film is not actually this male nurse Kulun. Instead, Jessica Chastain plays another nurse, Amy, who is a colleague of Curlun and who eventually reports Curlun, and cooperates with the police to catch Curlun.
According to the director's description, such a single mother is also seriously ill. But you can stand up at critical moments and identify the murderer. His courage and sense of justice are the real superhero.
At this time, I really understood what the English name of this film means, "The Good Nurse". At the beginning, I always thought that this was talking about Kulun, or irony, or that there were other noble reasons behind his crime.
But it is not the case. This nurse of conscience refers to Amy played by Jessica Chastain.
She is the nurse of conscience.
In the real Kulun case, Amy has never been so concerned, but because of her, Kulun, who had committed the crime for 16 years, was arrested and brought to justice, allowing more patients to escape from the clutches. According to reports, the prototype of this nurse is still working as a nurse in Florida .
The film "Nurse of Conscience" revolves around the story of Kulun and Amy.
Or, because Kulun is played by Eddie Redmayne. Seeing such a face, it is hard for you to believe that this is a murderer.
includes the heroine Amy, who thought so at the beginning.
Amy is a nurse who specializes in night shifts in the emergency center (ICU). She is a very responsible person in her work. She is very sympathetic and deeply loved by patients.
But at the same time, she is still a single mother with two daughters. Moreover, she also suffers from heart disease and is in danger of life at any time and has been waiting for surgery.
is such a fragile woman who has to work all the time for the sake of her family and has concealed her condition from the hospital.
At this time, Kulun came.
Kulun is a new nurse transferred from other hospitals. He is said to be experienced and has good reputations.
And after getting in touch with her, Amy found that Kulun is indeed not bad. He is very quiet, gentle, and very serious and responsible in his work. The two soon became good friends, and Kulun would even go to her house to help him take care of his children.
But obviously, Kulun has another unknown side.
Since Kulun came to the emergency center, strange patient deaths will occur here. Although, most patients in emergency centers are severely ill, it is not uncommon to die suddenly. However, it is often the case that it was in good condition before, but suddenly it was so serious that it was about to die.
Finally, the detective began to intervene in the case. However, the hospital obviously did not want to cooperate with these matters very much, and in addition, these cases did lack evidence, it was finally left alone.
, and Amy began to suspect her colleague and friend Kulun at the prompt of the detective.
Finally, she received more information at the reminder of a nurse in a working hospital in Kulun. According to Coulun’s previous nurse colleagues, sudden deaths also often occurred in the previous hospital. However, no one doubted Kulun at that time.
However, when Kulun left the job, the deaths suddenly decreased.
Although these cannot constitute evidence, they are enough to arouse suspicion. After
, Amy also began to investigate Kulun and discovered more secrets.
However, this is not a movie about how a good nurse solves the case. Therefore, the suspense part is not that attractive, and the film does not intend to over-create suspense. Everyone will soon know who the real murderer is.
And this has also become one of the regrets of this video. You can clearly feel that there are several themes in the film that are tearing.
On the one hand, this is a serial murder case that caused a sensation in the United States. The case is always a major highlight of the film. But at the same time, the main creator didn't want to care much about the case itself. In that case, the protagonist might be Eddie Redmayne.
You can feel that the real theme that the video wants to convey is: Why did such cases last for 16 years and so many victims appeared.
The line in Kulun at the end of the credit is: " They didn't stop me "
Why do you say that?
In fact, Kulun worked as a nurse in many hospitals for 16 years, and during his tenure, there were bizarre deaths of patients.
But the hospital never noticed these things, or even if it was noticed, in order to cause less trouble, or not to get involved in the lawsuit. The hospital's attitude is basically to calm down and deal with normal death.
. For Kulun, the hospital usually finds a reason to fire him. Go away and lose sight of him.
So, the nurse Kulun, who has always been suspicious, can find new jobs again and again with all kinds of suspicions, and murder more patients in a new hospital.
The matter itself is far more absurd than the case.
while the video wanders between these two themes and is pulled.
At the same time, because the two protagonists are acting with outstanding acting skills, the film also tries to give the two more space to perform, so that the two actors can enjoy the drama as much as possible.
Let me put it this way, this film is really excellent in the performance department, and both Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne have very outstanding performance passages.
But this movie is limited to this in the end, that is, everything is there, but none of the parts are prominent enough, but each part feels shallow.
This also becomes a regret for the film.Including the fact that Douban’s rating is not particularly high, there are also reasons for this.
From the audience, Kulun’s motive for the crime has always been a topic that everyone is very concerned about. But the film doesn't really want to focus on this matter.
There was only one chatting once. Kulun revealed that his mother died in the hospital and her body was lost in the hospital. When the body was found, she was naked, which greatly stimulated Kulun when he was young.
So, some viewers will excuse Kulun accordingly. After all, most of the patients he killed by poisoning are severe patients or elderly people. We always feel that maybe he is helping them get rid of them.
Even in reality, Kulun would defend himself by saying that he couldn't bear torture them because he was tortured by illness. But in fact, during the trial of the case, the police soon discovered that he was a random murderer, and the victims were not only severely ill patients, but also patients who were about to recover.
So, there is no such thing as liberation.
And if you have followed Kulun’s story, you will find out. This person's mental state has never been very stable.
According to Kulun himself, his childhood was very miserable. His father died when he was still a baby, and he said that his elder brother and sister had been bullying him in childhood. When he was 17 years old, his mother also died, which was a huge blow to him.
When he was 9 years old, he had attempted suicide by taking medicine. He also committed suicide many times and was admitted to a mental hospital several times.
It is obvious that his childhood experience and his very unstable mental state are the real reasons for his murder. It is also because of his mental state that he himself cannot explain why he killed people, including many victims (only remember the details of the crime).
Of course, this part is not the core of the film, and this film basically doesn't talk about these things, just as the background, so that everyone can understand this movie. Watch
as a whole, the video is still worth watching, especially the two starring actors are very outstanding, and there may be some mentions of performance awards.
Nowadays, Rotten Tomatoes 's evaluation of this film is still OK. 84 media ratings, 80% freshness, 6.8 points.
is just to watch.
In particular, this film was invested by Netfei and has been launched online. If you don’t want to watch it, just watch it. How good is
