    This play is Aunt JM's acting personal show. She deserves it too. Aunt JM's performance always has a sense of drive that "the goal is too clear", and it lacks a natural spirituality. It goes well with this script. Twilight's problem, in the breath. When I talked to people about the "reasons for having children" when I was in Secondary 2, I seemed to say that I needed someone who knew me as if I loved me. Steady the...

    Several scenes broke down in tears, too aware of what it means for scholars to lose memory and language skills. It's really good to see such a movie on Mother's...

    This film brought back a lot of memories of my grandfather. He suffered from Alzheimer's in the last few years, and his illness was completely aggravated by a missing trip. It's hard to say complete sentences, can't sleep at night, children don't know each other anymore, and can't take care of themselves. Moore's performance before his condition worsened was great. I appreciate the setting of the characters in the film. Not all family members are willing to take good care of an elderly man who...

    Aunt Moore is quite good, while the other characters are too flat and unconvincing. The script is written in scattered pieces, both good and bad. There is a feeling of powerlessness day after day and the discomfort of missing key points. The emotional scenes are undoubtedly magnified by the big screen. The emotional experience is not disgusting. The violin theme is amazing, and this composition is really worth looking forward...

    Aunt Moore's performance is enough to support a slightly bland plot, or in other words, such a bland plot highlights her acting skills. I really liked that speech and the last words of KS. Alice watching the video she recorded reminded me of someone who once said that those articles on how to treat procrastination will never cure procrastination. AB is not used to playing a completely good person, and what is even more unaccustomed is that he really looks like a good person [laugh...

    In the final analysis, even if she forgot who she was, Alice was still an upper-class intellectual who paid attention to etiquette. Except for that one outbreak, all her collapse, confusion and helplessness were controlled by her own mannerism. So, if you don't act too much, you can't see it; if you act too much, she's Alice no more, so the praise of Julianne Moore's performance is because she has mastered it too accurately at this...

    Julianne Moore's acting is amazing, but I really don't like movies like this, that powerless sadness is sharper than a knife. The loving director in the behind-the-scenes story is a different color outside the play, paying attention to the vulnerable and helpless life...

    The 87th Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Now it seems that Pike Chunhua really met a strong opponent last year, and this kind of single-owner road number with independent temperament is too easy or favored. Julianne Moore, the first actress in history to win an Oscar at the three major film festivals of Cannes, Berlin and Venice. This is not her best work, but it represents her...

Still Alice quotes

  • Dr. Alice Howland: Hi, Alice. I'm you. And I have something very important to say to you. Huh... I guess you've reached that point when you can answer any of your questions. So this is the next logical step. I'm sure of it. Because what's happening to you, the Alzheimer's - you could see it as tragic. But your life has been anything but tragic. You've had a remarkable career, and a great marriage, and three beautiful children. All right. Listen to me, Alice. This is important. Make sure that you are alone and go to the bedroom. In your bedroom, there's a dresser with a blue lamp. Open the top drawer. In the back of the drawer, there's a bottle with pills in it. It says 'take all pills with water'. Now, there are a lot of pills in that bottle, but it's very important that you swallow them all, okay? And then, lie down and go to sleep. And don't tell anyone what you're doing, okay?

  • Dr. Alice Howland: Good morning. It's an honor to be here. The poet Elizabeth Bishoponce wrote: 'the Art of Losing isn't hard to master: so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.' I'm not a poet, I am a person living with Early Onset Alzheimer's, and as that person I find myself learning the art of losing every day. Losing my bearings, losing objects, losing sleep, but mostly losing memories...

    [she knocks the pages from the podium]

    Dr. Alice Howland: I think I'll try to forget that just happened.

    [crowd laughs]

    Dr. Alice Howland: All my life I've accumulated memories - they've become, in a way, my most precious possessions. The night I met my husband, the first time I held my textbook in my hands. Having children, making friends, traveling the world. Everything I accumulated in life, everything I've worked so hard for - now all that is being ripped away. As you can imagine, or as you know, this is hell. But it gets worse. Who can take us seriously when we are so far from who we once were? Our strange behavior and fumbled sentences change other's perception of us and our perception of ourselves. We become ridiculous, incapable, comic. But this is not who we are, this is our disease. And like any disease it has a cause, it has a progression, and it could have a cure. My greatest wish is that my children, our children - the next generation - do not have to face what I am facing. But for the time being, I'm still alive. I know I'm alive. I have people I love dearly. I have things I want to do with my life. I rail against myself for not being able to remember things - but I still have moments in the day of pure happiness and joy. And please do not think that I am suffering. I am not suffering. I am struggling. Struggling to be part of things, to stay connected to whom I was once. So, 'live in the moment' I tell myself. It's really all I can do, live in the moment. And not beat myself up too much... and not beat myself up too much for mastering the art of losing. One thing I will try to hold onto though is the memory of speaking here today. It will go, I know it will. It may be gone by tomorrow. But it means so much to be talking here, today, like my old ambitious self who was so fascinated by communication. Thank you for this opportunity. It means the world to me. Thank you.
