Awakenings (1990)
Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy research physician, uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare disease. Leonard is the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer too, as the exuberant patient reveals life's simple but unutterably sweet pleasures to the introverted doctor.

De Niro deserved his nomination for this… Robin Williams should’ve been nominated as well. This wasn’t a thick pour of emotion but a slow build of ominous hope. When the crash comes, it doesn’t hit as hard as I thought it would but seeing the journey Leonard went on made it hard. Ominous hope sums up this movie…
