    anthony hopkins + olivia coleman slap in the face + empty mirror, this film is hard not to look good, the performance is so good, the set design is amazing! I really wanted to watch the theatrical version. During the process of watching the movie, I imagined many ways to realize the theater. I feel that it can be more powerful in different ways! The whole process, a kind of slowly disappearing, and the angle and the way the play was made, was so...

    Extremely cruel and extremely exquisite masterpiece. The recurring doors and repeated dialogues interweave the chaotic time, space and stories in the eyes of the patients. I seem to see the world in the eyes of my grandfather in the last few years, but I also know that we, as "normal people", are completely unable to restore and understand. Their confusion, confusion and sadness, the kind of helplessness where the branches and leaves wither and don't know where to go. The watch that I have been...

    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...

    When I understand it later, I will re-evaluate it. It's really uncomfortable. It's like sitting on pins and...

    If a parent has Alzheimer's or a similar incurable disease, do we hopelessly insist on care at the expense of some or all of our lives, or send them to a nursing home? Every time I see this dilemma of family affection, I sincerely wish I had not been born. No matter how many beautiful moments in life, in my opinion, they are not worth the long-term torment of those contradictions and...

    Seeing the world from the perspective of Alzheimer's disease for the first time, from where and what time to who I am, my brain is as mutilated and confused as a mosaic. The whole world has become precarious, leaving only distorted time, chaotic space, and endless...

    "The wind and rain hit me, and all my leaves fell off..." I cried while watching the last...

    My leaves are about to fall, the wind and rain wrap my leaves, and there is nowhere to...

    While my heart was blocked out of breath, I exclaimed. This should be a movie viewing experience that a lazy person like me has never had before: while appreciating the superb acting skills of various familiar faces, being trapped in the maze of despair carefully laid out by the choreographer, the feeling of swirling repetition and accelerated fall It's so real that I feel like I'm a bare tree trunk with Anthony in the end... The three women and two men are cast as precisely as parts of a...

The Father quotes

  • Anthony: Can I ask you a question?

    Laura: Yes.

    Anthony: Are you a nun?

    Laura: No.

    Anthony: Then why are you speaking to me as if I'm retarded?

  • Anthony: I am worried. It's very worrying. I mean... Losing all my things, everyone's just helping themselves, and... If this goes on much longer, um, I'll be stark naked. And, um, I... I won't be able to tell what time it is.
