Review on “Insomnia” “Insomnia” tells the story of Will Dormer, a Los Angeles detective, who travels to Alaska so him and his partner can investigate the vicious murder of a seventeen year old Alaskan girl. Dormer and his partner receive a lead on Walter Finch, an author who was supposedly seeing the victim on a regular basis. Dormer eventually caught Finch trying to steal the victim’s backpack and began a vigorous chase after him on a rocky, fog-filled beach. Unfortunately Dormer was not fast enough and Finch slipped away out of his grasp. Wile Finch attempts to make his escape, Dormer fires his gun at him. He soon finds out that he mistakenly killed his friend and partner. Dormer is struck with an overbearing sense of guilt and remorse and begins experiencing insomnia as a result. In the meantime, Finch begins to manipulate and stalk Dormer because he is the only one who knows his shocking secret. The theme of the film is that integrity can set you free. Dormer chose the pathway of lying when he killed his partner. His whirlwind of lies caught up with him and caused serious psychological side effects. Because he didn’t tell the truth, he was haunted by his mistake and suffered from insomnia and eventually, death. The program’s dominant message is to capture the viewers’ attention and make them watch the movie. The alternative message was about manipulation. How someone can appear to have it all together on the outside, how they can seem nice and honest. In reality, they’re nothing they appear to be, yet they are able to manipulate those around them with their lies.
