Directed by Michael Crichton, Coma was among the eeriest conspiracy thrillers of the 1970s.
Aliya takes a look back…
The 1970s was a great decade for the conspiracy thriller.
Hes a likeable guy.
Initially I think were meant to feel ambivalent about whether shes uncovering a conspiracy or not.
Wed believe Robert Redford from the word go Genevieve Bujold, were not so sure about.
This element highlights a script that asks you to consider what its like to never really be heard.
Its just another day in the operating room for everyone involved until the best friend never wakes up.
Hes so good at establishing locations.
Theres also Richard Widmark, Elizabeth Ashley, Rip Torn, and Lois Chiles to watch.
This is also a great film for spotting people at the start of their acting careers.
Still, with or without extras,Comais worth the effort.
Claims of Wheeler being confused and overemotional stop the male establishment from taking the situation seriously.
When you look back at it, its a chilling premise on many levels.
