Haunting, heavy and dizzy burden- Insomnia(針鋒相對)

We all have burned midnight oil, but have you haunted by the illusion and loneliness that come with insomnia(sleeplessness)?

What if incredible guilty burden was with you,meanwhile?

"Nothing as lonely as not sleeping"
Detective Will Dormer(Al Pacino) was sent to Alaska from LA. To catch a murderer(Robert Williams), he used his clever knowledge ,sharp instinct and efficient working ability to try to send the murderer behind jail.
However, he made a fatal mistake. 
With the special "Midnight Sun"(永日) in Alaska, this mistake started to make him get insomnia.
Just like sand leaked in sand glass, as the time passing, Dormer was getting dizzy and loosing more and more rationality and judgement on everything.

Meanwhile he became much different after this jeopardy,  we would never know that the situation "revealed" him or the situation "made" him became that.

Since Nolan was a "Digital Psychology Magician" , this time he made the story became much tardier than before. Some reviews(影評) consider it was too slow and pointless, or not "thrill" at all.

I have been sleeplessness for four days. When I finished this movie, I couldn't stop myself from gasping. It seems like a fainted zombie crept on your body and grab your mind again.

I have watched many movie, but no one can let me feel like that.

Insomnia was slow and seemed not focus on particular theme, because that's what you feel when you lost your sleep, that's what you endured with heavy mental burden.

This movie made me back to the days that my head was almost exploded. 

Actors: Al Pacino

In this movie, Al Pacino had shown every one how amazing he was.
Not just performed a confused, tired and guilty person, but also change expression in  his eyes and facial language to fit in every situation that made Dormer perplexed (the situation you can only describe it as " perplex"but he made them so different!)

He was truly a LEGEND!
