Awake was a thriller, about this guy who has surgery, but remains "awake" despite being put under general anesthetic. So he can hear everything that goes on and feel everything they do to him, but to everyone else it seems like he's asleep. I still have to wrap my head around it. It also starred Jessica Alba. Yeah, Hayden was really unimpressive. Ironically, after having just seen it, my physics professor decided to write him into an example problem today. Something about tension in the rope that's preventing him form falling to is death...
I had heard about this film. It actually sounds too scary for me since I have had surgeries and hate the mere thought of being able to experience it and yet have them think I was asleep. They actually do have a drug that paralyzes a person, so they don't thrash around and yet they are aware of everything. This movie sounds like that. When I heard of the drug and that they use it on say terminally ill people it made me so sad and disturbed. Some people claim that those in comas can actually hear things also and comprehend them - what a thought - just horrid.:( Some true things are worse than horror stories!
