This article is a mid-installment review of the film "28 Years Later...", directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Alex Garland. The review centers on Dr. Kelson’s treatment of the infected Samson, highlighting the importance of communication in addition to medical intervention. Kelson discovers that Samson’s aggression stems from fear induced by hallucinations and attempts to calm him with medication. However, it’s not simply medication; through interaction and building trust with Samson, he helps him regain speech. This approach evokes parallels with mental healthcare, emphasizing a desire to achieve recovery through bidirectional communication rather than one-sided treatment. Kelson extends this same approach to Jimmy Crystal, attempting to understand his auditory hallucinations. The article concludes that Kelson’s treatment isn’t about correcting delusions, but about enabling coexistence with reality.
