This film tells the story of how a goosebump old couple faced old age, death and separation.
——————Spoiler dividing line
Simply speaking, it is about an old couple who are in love. The old lady has Alzheimer’s disease and has a stroke; the treatment has not improved, and the two old people understand that the old lady’s condition will only worse and worse. Seeing the old lady being tortured, the old man was reluctant to accept the fact at first, but later he "killed" the old lady with his own hands and left with her.
There are many keywords in it.
The first key word is [love]
The whole play is full of love. Feel the style of the opening three minutes:
breakfast in the morning, ANNE's first dementia, GEORGE is obviously frightened. He worriedly and hesitantly called the old lady's name softly, took a towel dipped in water to wipe her neck, and hurried to the room to change out of his dressing gown and wanted to go out to seek help for this emergency. He even forgot to turn off the faucet; and when he changed his clothes and found that the sound of water running from the faucet he had forgotten to turn off had stopped abruptly, and when the old lady turned off the faucet and was eating breakfast as usual, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a serious tone He ordered the old lady not to make such a joke—the old man cared about the old lady's nervousness at a glance.
There are countless such portrayals throughout the film. Every shot contains a lot of love, between old couples, between daughters and old couples, and between young people and old couples. That's what makes this film so touching.
What is the best love you have ever imagined?
It is probably that you have loved each other for a lifetime, and the corners of your eyes and brows are all love for each other, and you can't hide them.
Love is an instinct, even if the two of you have gray hair and life is like a monotonous boiled water, you can't stop caring and caring for your life partner. Just like in the movie.
The second key word is [old age and death] and
the third key word is [Facing]
Problems are always entangled with solving and facing. When a problem occurs, it's always there, no matter how you escape it. In addition to face only face.
The old lady should have been graceful and proud all her life, and I could feel the old man's anger when the nurse treated her roughly. This is his favorite person.
The poisonous old man opened his eyes and said to the nurse, "I didn't expect you to be so bad. Get out of here, I wish you were treated so rudely by others when you were old, and you have no power to fight back."
——It is always such a thing, you have nothing to do, you suddenly become weak, unable to exert force, and unable to fight back. Your ingenuity, your wisdom and knowledge, everything you had when you were young, can't help you at this time. You can only persuade yourself to wait quietly for the decay of the body and the passing of life.
Gradually, your body becomes weak, your thinking is no longer clear, your memory becomes blurred, and it hurts here and there. At a certain age, you seem to be waiting for death.
Well, it's better to live up to seventy years of age and then die right away.
No pain, no hospital, no piles of medicine, no incontinence or having someone wipe your body, no opening seams to mend, no helpless treatment like an item.
And death is always a topic we want to avoid. It is "unlucky", "terrifying", and "not suitable to be discussed in the open"; death is a "bad" thing...and for touching For the elderly in question, death is very close to them. They may have rehearsed it a hundred times in their minds.
ANNE sought death several times, and she and the old man talked about death calmly.
The venomous old man was talking about the funny and inappropriate of other people's funerals, ANNE just said calmly, the situation will only get worse, why should we endure this kind of torment? "Life is too long for me."
The old man said, you think in a different position, what if it was me?
He slapped ANNE hard when he closed his lips and refused to eat.
He struggles, suffers, loves each other deeply, he does a lot, and the cruel thing is, he knows she's right, it's only going to get worse, and her pain is better than the day.
Worse than death, is probably watching the love of one's life "living rather than dying", and, sooner or later, will die.
He still respected her wishes and helped her end her life.
What do we live in this world for?
When you go through the stage of self-worth realization of young and middle-aged people, it seems that when you get old, you only have to take care of your grandchildren and take care of your life.
How should we deal with the decline of life?
I am afraid of getting old and dying. I am afraid of the feeling that things are out of my control. I am even more afraid of this kind of out of control. I see it decline step by step. All I can do is endure the torture of the last moments of my life.
——How to face the increasingly dignified old age?
——How to face the departure of the love of a lifetime?
- If your loved one is suffering, how do you view the subject of euthanasia?
Each topic is very heavy, and it is worth thinking about when dismantling it.
I like the ending very much. At the end of the film, he bought a few bouquets of flowers, cut them out one by one, sealed the doors and windows, wrote a suicide note, and completed their own funeral. Then Shi Shiran followed the old lady and left this world.
She must have been elegant and noble when she was young, and he must have been rebellious when he was young.
He lived his life with his head up, and she held her neck proud and beautiful.
Maybe he was attracted by the sound of her piano, maybe it was a natural encounter.
There may be many versions of their story, the only certainty is that it must be very loving.
Thanks to the two veteran actors for their performances.
