The Father evaluation action

"The Father" explores the boundaries of family affection and morality. This is an obscure and extremely tragic zone. After their wrestling in time is exposed, they bring a strong sense of pain and a stronger sense of powerlessness. The film is a story told entirely from the perspective of an elderly person. There is "I" but also the loss of "I", as if to use images to reproduce the completely gelatinized substances in the minds of Alzheimer's patients. The chaotic time and space can calmly reveal the selfishness, the most powerless love, and the most confusing contradictions that are the easiest for humans to gain synaesthesia. Under the trouble of disease, what is waiting in the deepest part of life is these unanswerable bitterness, which is enough to make the audience feel indescribable sadness after watching the film. From the cunning and arrogant father to the irritable, helpless, timid, and sad old man, Anthony Hopkins presents a symphony that continues to spread, because he is like a grandfather and a father, more like the dusk of every human being. Watching the film actually didn't notice the so-called acting skills, because under his old eyelashes, Anthony Hopkins hid the coldness that is greater than the story and less than the life   .

    Starting from the main point of view of a father suffering from Alzheimer's disease, the audience experience his entire mental journey, the chaotic timeline, the overlapping characters and time and space, the sense of substitution is very strong, and the protagonist is deeply plunged into the mood of the protagonist. My grandmother suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The last few years are exactly the same. She doesn't remember things, admits the wrong person, often talks about things from her youth, cry like a child, loses her temper, and is also very helpless and sad as a junior.

    The film is about the curling and winding of time, that is, the loss of time sense/discrimination. The audience follows the father's linear time and gets lost in space, experiencing the chaos of the world of Alzheimer's patients in the first person. I finally understand why Mr. Hopkins said this performance was "simple", not just the difficulty of understanding and entering the role, but to wrap the extremely complex and exquisite play in a simple and simple way: the performance. Gloomy and unassuming, making the narrative structure more convincing, and the director's control is not too much, and all the explanations are freely thrown out, so the two complement each other. Life is like this, in the end, the leaves are all over the ground, and there is no branch to rest on, so I have to keep retreating to the nostalgia of my mother.
