As someone who has had a neurological condition that in some ways is similar to what the patients in Awakenings have I can tell you this is one of the most realistic portrayals of people afflicted with these types of diseases.
I too also tested a drug that seemed to work after the first dose. I experienced all of the hope and excitement at the fact I was improving and subsequently all the heartbreak when it didn't. I can only imagine the torment if I had not been allowed to experience my life for myself.
De Niro plays his part to perfection. No one could have done it better. It's as simple as that.
