The worst nightmare a person can go through is being imprisoned with his fears, or his weaknesses that penetrate his nervous, psychological and physical range, and organic diseases are the living embodiment of the accumulation of obsessions, shortcomings and anxiety, and it is the inevitable result of our negative feelings that are the cause of what most people suffer from diseases.
And according to how these feelings accumulate (i.e. Their type, the extent of their ability and their recurrence) the form of diseases varies, and each of us carries his own illness that may be diagnosed medically for different reasons in theory, but these reasons remain a front for what the stresses that the nervous system is exposed to cause due to dilemmas and psychological crises.
In the movie "Old" directed by "Night Shyamalan" - production 2021 - a group of individuals are suspended on a unique beach, a beach in which the equations of time vary, so one minute is considered as years, due to the nature of this beach geology, it is surrounded by towering rocks that have accumulated It has some mineral materials that have given the whole place a very special temporal nature, a nature that speeds up the passing of years and steals ages, and develops everything that hides behind the long, slow years of those ages.
At first glance, it will seem to you that the heroes face the fears of old age, but in fact, we find that they are forced to confront the ailments of their bodies, and thus face all the feelings that were the reason for these ailments to enable them in the first place. It worsened her condition, and eventually reached the climax stage.
That beach was an incubating environment for the viruses of these diseases and their original causes, making all members of the group - both the sick and the unsick - trapped with the effects of the deterioration of bodies and minds in their primitive form, without chemical and temporal painkillers that disturb our understanding of their origin.
The tumor of betrayal and the pressures of separation.. the character of the heroine
Most of the group, sent ashore by the mysterious arrangement of the management of a hotel in which they chose to spend their vacation; They were suffering from chronic diseases, diseases that were at the beginning of their control over their bodies, the heroine who worked in a museum had a benign tumor in her stomach, and the surgeon was suffering from signs of mental disorder, and his wife, skinny and proud of her beauty, her broken bones complained of calcium deficiency, and another woman from The group had epileptic fits from time to time, and one last singer had just found out he had a strange blood disorder.
We can link with a deeper eye between the nature of certain diseases carried by some of the injured in the group, and the nature of their personalities and the crises they face in current and previous times in their lives. We find the heroine, who went through a period before she came to the beach with mixed and stressful feelings about her relationship with her family, so we find her in front of the appearance of another person who thought she was She tends to have him in her life instead of her husband, as well as her final decision to separate, despite her husband's adherence to her, and thus her inner vision of herself as a traitor who bears alone the responsibility for wounding his children, and working to deprive them of stability next to their parents together.
This kind of emotional confusion is enough psychological pressure for a tumor to appear in her stomach. Periods of stress and relatively long tense times are both of the many reasons that are placed under the category of motives for the formation of tumors, especially the benign type.

Doctor's jealousy.. external cold and internal ignition
On the other hand, when we contemplate the mental disorder that was arguing with the doctor's brain before he came to the beach, we will find it as an expected result of the shape of his life and the way he confronts its vocabulary. On the beach; That there is always an underlying tension in the same doctor regarding that wife, he is jealous of her without daring to tell her that truth directly, because he feels inferior about his age that is more than her age.
In addition to the image that he puts in his mind about the difference in the appearance and presence of each of them, believing in his inner self that she is superior to him, and that he does not deserve her, so he lets her talk to him sometimes in a way that hurts him, and exaggerates his indifference about her attempt to draw the attention of everyone around her, and even woo the surrounding men. She was like the waiter who brought them breakfast, without scruples because he and his old mother were at the same table, as if she was completely certain of the way he would receive a similar act.
This not insignificant gulf between what the doctor harbors in his stomach, and what he shows of reactions; It is enough to turn his brain into a critical situation in which his mental health deteriorates, as he is a weak character who fears confrontation, and drops all her anger and hatred on herself, who is not confident and feels inferior, and thus she is too weak for her mental system to bear all this intellectual and emotional chaos.

The doctor's beautiful wife..a sexy look and fragile bones
The doctor's wife herself suffers from a chronic organic problem, in which her beautiful body is forced to lack calcium, as it is an apparently unnoticeable problem, and she does not have any physical embodiment seen on the body. An attractive woman, confident on the outside, but fragile and shaky on the inside. She depends on her beauty to feel that she exists. She has no other reason to convince her to be distinguished. She is terrified and trembling between herself and herself.
And while its body appears in the best condition, as well as its bones that are prepared for you to be resilient, they are in fact liable to collapse horribly, as we will see later, when the effects of time acceleration that the beach reflects on all members of the group on it begins.
The heroes are amazed at the decomposition of the body of the woman who died less than an hour ago
The loneliness of the beach and the obsessions of dying... the symbolism of old age
There is no need to know the psychological background of the disease of the remaining two persons (the epileptic woman and the singer with a blood disorder), as the previous models were enough to explain enough that all members of the group became stuck with this shore in a matter of facing the fears and obsessions that filled them for a long time, Although from a closer look it seems the question of how much time this beach steals from their lives, which will lead to their death within two days at most. But no, the real battle between them and this beach revolves around placing them in one area in front of their points of defeat and their underlying crises.
Even the good woman with epilepsy, whose only concern was the issue of aging itself, that we have come to know about, we see her right before her death mentioning her desire to escape from this beach, to return to her sister who always thought that her old age was the obstacle that was standing between them, It limits their communication and always makes them at odds, as this is a woman who lived interrupting her sister because she thought she was old enough to hinder the course of their relationship.
You can simply guess the true impact of that rupture on her psychological system, and therefore what old age represents as a symbolic summary of the form of her suffering that she may not have known anything about her truth before she came to this horrific beach, then she loses her husband, and after him becomes alone In order to see the dark areas hidden from within.
Losing control in order to survive.. Siege of the dark side
Everyone was trapped with his dark side, but in fact he was experiencing the nature of this darkness, he tested its reality and the extent of its deterioration and its mastery of it, whether it was an irreversible, demonic darkness, or a reluctant darkness that still had the option of turning and correcting the course.
When the surgeon and his wife got stuck on this beach, they went further on their lonely side, their diseases worsened, and ended in a fate that reveals that they have lost complete control of their inner demons that are finally released in a frightening way that reached the height of his grief.
As for that good man, husband of a woman with epilepsy, he died trying to survive, sincerely trying to save everyone, just as he had done from the first moment he and his wife set foot on the beach, and they both showed a pure and honest cooperative spirit.
Epilepsy lady..the end of the only patient who responded to the experiment
That wife who also died while clinging to sponge sticks to catch up with her husband's attempt, and spontaneously confess her desire to correct the mistake of her relationship with her sister, and to maintain the desire to return for her sake. This woman, who was suffering from epilepsy, is the only one who has succeeded with the doses of medicine given to her by a handful of scientists who send batches of people on this beach for the purpose of experiments.
