Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a psychological thriller film: "Stay"
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with a man, sitting next to a car crash on the Brooklyn Bridge
He sits there for a bit; and when the sirens wail,
he stands up and walks away from the scene, oddly calm for a person, who just witnessed an accident
Then the scene transitions to another man, a psychiatrist,
waking up while holding an engagement ring
After that, he meets up with his girlfriend,
who is an artist, before leaving for work
Following that, the Psychiatrist walks into an office,
where he meets his Patient, the guy who witnessed the accident earlier
The Patient quickly gives a rude attitude to the Psychiatrist upon seeing him,
because he is suspicious of why his former doctor suddenly became sick, and left without notice
The Psychiatrist read from the file, that the Patient is a college student majoring in art
Also, one of the things written in the document, is that the Patient torched his car;
so the Psychiatrist asks him about it
However, the Patient does not remember much about the incident, and gives unclear answers
Despite the sunny weather, the Patient then leaves,
saying he needs to go home before the hailstorm begins
Afterward, while the Psychiatrist is outside with his girlfriend, the rain starts pouring on them;
so they immediately run inside a building
Meanwhile, the Patient is on the train, smoking a cigar
A professor from his university is also on the train,
and nags the Patient for illegally smoking on public transportation
The Patient silently obliges, and puts the cigarette right on his arm,
gathering strange looks from the people
On the other hand, the Psychiatrist tries to contact his colleague, who handles the Patient's case;
but his message goes straight to voicemail
The following day, the Patient makes a sudden visit to the Psychiatrist's office
Despite the unexpected visit and another patient coming any second,
the Psychiatrist entertains the Patient,
and talks to him about the exact weather he predicted yesterday
The Patient says that he does not understand the weatherman,
and suddenly reveals that he hears voices in his head
The Psychiatrist gives the Patient a paper and pen, to write what the voices are saying;
but the Patient struggles to differentiate imagination from reality
Then, the Psychiatrist sees burn marks on the Patient's arm, and asks him about it
However, the Patient changes the subject,
and reveals his plan to kill himself on Saturday at midnight
The Psychiatrist quickly holds the phone, taking action;
but the Patient stops him,
and reassures the Psychiatrist that he will not harm himself before Saturday; and then he leaves
Later that day, after discussing the Patient's case with a colleague,
the Psychiatrist goes home to his girlfriend
The girlfriend persuades him to share the progress with the Patient's case
Despite refusing a couple of times, the Psychiatrist shares the confidential information in the end
The morning after, the Psychiatrist visits the Patient at his university
After the Patient's class, the Psychiatrist revisits their last conversation about suicide
The Patient shares that he will follow in the footsteps of his favorite 20th-century artist,
who killed himself on his 21st birthday
The Psychiatrist then mentions the Patient's parents, hoping to change the Patient's decision
However, the Patient replies that his parents are already dead in a pained tone;
so the Psychiatrist quickly apologizes
The Psychiatrist then asks if the Patient has a girlfriend, which the Patient indirectly admits
The Patient talks about the waitress he met at a diner, who was kind to him
The Patient was supposed to ask the waitress to marry him
but he did not do it for an unknown reason; and now the waitress is somewhere else
After that, the Psychiatrist goes to his girlfriend's studio,
and confronts her about her mental health medication
It turns out The Psychiatrist's girlfriend has stopped taking pills,
but she pleads with him to trust her that she will not hurt herself again
The two make up;
and as he walks away, the Psychiatrist hears his girlfriend, calling him by the Patient's name
In shock, The Psychiatrist looks at her, but the girlfriend denies it,
so the Psychiatrist apologizes and leaves
The next day, the Psychiatrist bonds with a blind patient by playing mental chess
Just then, the Patient walks into the room, startling the Psychiatrist
The blind man kindly introduces himself;
but upon seeing him, the Patient starts crying, because he is appalled to see a familiar face
The blind man excuses himself to leave,
and the Patient immediately informs the Psychiatrist that the blind man is actually his father
However, shocked by the revelation, the Psychiatrist says the blind man does not have any children;
and that, according to the Patient, his parents are dead
The Patient angrily argues with the Psychiatrist, overwhelmed by the events
The Patient suddenly blurts out a quotation, and leaves the Psychiatrist
Later that day, the Psychiatrist goes to the Patient's apartment with some colleagues
and the building's locksmith
However, instead of finding the Patient,
they find the words 'forgive me' covering all the walls, and a box of bullets
They also find a recorded message containing the voices of the Patient,
and someone who sounds exactly like the Psychiatrist
However, The Psychiatrist denies any involvement, and leaves
That night, the Psychiatrist talks to his girlfriend about his latest encounter with the Patient
The girlfriend, a survivor of suicide, offers to talk to the Patient once he is found
However, the Psychiatrist refuses that to happen, because it violates the ethical code;
and instead, he asks for advice on how to change the Patient's mind
Following that, the Psychiatrist visits the Patient's former doctor,
and finds her disoriented and sluggish in her apartment
The doctor is mumbling incoherent phrases, because of drinking and taking pills
Surprisingly with her state,
the doctor manages to give him the information about the Patient's mother
After that, the Psychiatrist searches for the mother, and finds her in an empty house with her dog
The Psychiatrist tries to get information to find the Patient,
but the mother confuses the Psychiatrist's identity with her son
So instead, the Psychiatrist pretends to be the Patient,
to trick the mother to answer his questions
Finally, the mother mentions the same waitress the Patient once said to the Psychiatrist
Suddenly, the mother's head starts to bleed, but she does not seem to be in pain
The Psychiatrist attempts to help the mother, but the dog suddenly bites his arm
The following moment, he goes to a clinic to get his wound treated;
then a Sheriff comes in, and interrogates the Psychiatrist
The Sheriff is curious to know why the Psychiatrist was at the house, and who he was talking to
So the Psychiatrist explains what happened;
but the Sheriff informs him that he knows the Patient's mother,
and she died months ago together with her husband in a car wreck
The Sheriff then bids goodbye and leaves
Meanwhile, while drinking, the Patient experiences hallucinations in a cabaret bar
The Patient's mind plays with him
He hallucinates various pictures of himself with his family and a woman
Some are happy photographs, but some are disturbing with his parents in blood
The Patient could only cry as it happened
The following day, the Psychiatrist experiences something like deja vu
The Psychiatrist is confused, and asks the people involved; but they dismiss him
After that, the Psychiatrist goes home to his girlfriend,
who immediately asks for an explanation for his sudden disappearance
Still bewildered,
the Psychiatrist shares that he might be experiencing the conditions his patients experienced
The Psychiatrist sees dead people,
witnesses events and scenes that have already happened, playing again
The girlfriend calms the Psychiatrist down, and lets him sleep
Not long after, the Psychiatrist wakes up, and immediately proceeds to find the Patient
However, the Patient has been outside the apartment for hours, waiting for the Psychiatrist
The Psychiatrist offers the Patient to come with him; but the Patient refuses
The Psychiatrist then mentions his encounter with the Patient's mother last night,
catching the Patient's attention
The Patient follows the Psychiatrist outside of the building,
as they talk about the Patient's mother
The Psychiatrist attempts to persuade the Patient to change his mind about killing himself
The Psychiatrist even mentions his girlfriend's words, but the Patient has made up his mind
The Psychiatrist then tries to stop the Patient from leaving, but the Patient puts out his gun,
points it at the Psychiatrist while holding him
Then, the Patient confesses that he killed his parents; and for that, he is going to hell
The Patient then puts down his gun, and leaves the shocked Psychiatrist
The Psychiatrist tries to find the Patient, but he is already gone
So he proceeds to find the waitress the Patient's talking about
The Psychiatrist goes from diner to diner to find the waitress, but fails to find her
Finally, at the last restaurant,
the Psychiatrist gets information from a former co-worker of the waitress
According to her, the waitress resigned, and now pursues acting
The co-worker asks for a drug prescription from the Psychiatrist,
in exchange for where he could find the waitress
Later, The Psychiatrist finds the waitress in an old building,
reading lines from the famous Hamlet with another man
After their rehearsal, the Psychiatrist introduces himself, and reveals the purpose of his visit
The Psychiatrist mentions the Patient,
but the waitress informs the Psychiatrist that she does not know the Patient personally
The waitress then shares that she saw the Patient at an art store before,
and offers to take the Psychiatrist there
They go down the spiral staircase, but the waitress suddenly disappears after a while
The Psychiatrist slips onto the stairs while finding the waitress
After getting back on his feet, the Psychiatrist goes back up into the rehearsal room,
and finds the waitress reading lines with a man, just like the first time he encountered her
The Psychiatrist immediately goes back down again, befuddled by the happenings
Meanwhile, the Patient goes to his so-called father's apartment, the blind man
The blind man instructs the Patient to leave;
but instead of doing that, he covers the blind man's eyes, and pleads with him to look at him
Miraculously, the blind man can see again, but fails to recognize the Patient
However, the Patient hugs the blind man, kisses him on the head, bids goodbye, and leaves
That rainy night, the Psychiatrist continues to search for the Patient,
and finds the art bookshop the waitress is talking about
The store owner talks to the Psychiatrist about the Patient,
and informs him that the Patient bartered his artwork for some books about his favorite artist
At the same time, The Patient just got off the bus near the Brooklyn Bridge
he goes to a dance class, to watch the waitress, the woman he fell in love with
The Patient just stands there in the rain, watching the waitress for the last time
After leaving the art store, the Psychiatrist calls his girlfriend,
and asks about the Patient's favorite artist
The girlfriend says that the Patient's favorite artist shot himself
at the Brooklyn Bridge on his 21st birthday
After learning that, the Psychiatrist says a goodbye message to his girlfriend, and ends the call
After the call, the girlfriend notices the Patient's name at the back of her bought canvas painting
She then searches the other paintings, and finds a few of the Patient's artworks
The girlfriend realizes that the Patient plans to kill himself on the Brooklyn Bridge,
an imitation of the Patient's favorite artist
Meanwhile, the Psychiatrist bumps into the blind man,
and the Psychiatrist is shocked to see him having vision
The man shares that the Patient healed him, and that the world is an illusion
The Psychiatrist asks for the time, and the man says less than 30 minutes before 12:00 midnight;
so the Psychiatrist quickly runs away
On the other hand, a strange thing happened to the Patient
While on the streets, everything suddenly stops moving; and the Patient's head starts to bleed
The vehicles stop moving; and the people are in a frozen position,
looking at the Patient as blood drops from his head
The Patient calmly wipes the blood and leaves
The following moment at the train station, the Psychiatrist sees the patient on a different train
Right after that, the Psychiatrist quickly runs to the Brooklyn Bridge;
and he finds the Patient there
The Psychiatrist admits that he does not know what is real anymore
The Patient replies that the Psychiatrist is real, and was just trying to help him;
but the Psychiatrist is too late to save him
The Patient says that the world is a dream;
and despite the Psychiatrist's attempt to change his mind,
the Patient puts the gun in his mouth, and pulls the trigger
Suddenly, the car crash from the first scene replays, only now with a commotion
A man is lying on the ground, fatally wounded from the accident
The wounded man is revealed to be the Patient
A nurse helps put pressure on the Patient's wounds,
while the doctor checks the other people in the car for signs of life
