"The Father"--Calming And Warming Time

The film itself is relatively calm, with basically no plot, just from the first perspective of an Alzheimer's patient to tell the chaotic fragments of his memory and the confusion and pain he feels because of it. The actor's acting is really good.

At the end of the film, the old man cried on the shoulder of the nurse, feeling strange and tormented by the things around him. Sometimes I think that since the recognition, especially now, although more and more abundant knowledge and products have given us more and more abundant and interesting thinking space, the trivialities brought by countless complicated and messy social affairs, disciplines and modern lifestyles, stress and anxiety also invisibly increase the burden on our memory and thinking, making it relatively difficult to focus on something really interesting. Perhaps when the mind is overloaded, all memories begin to be confused, and people appear uncomfortable, trance-like, and morbid because of this. In fact, it’s good that you can’t remember or don’t want to remember some things that don’t need to be remembered. After all, some things are themselves constructed illusions, and the truth of life itself is itself a disorderly pain. But it is always difficult to avoid all kinds of pitfalls in life, so you can only feel and think with your heart, try to express, and try to have the opportunity to focus your energy on what you are interested in.

In addition, although the movie is not particularly brilliant, the light and straightforward presentation is not bad, and the color tone and color matching of the whole picture are also better.

    I unilaterally decided: Whoever defeated Anthony Hopkins at the Oscars this year will be the best actor in history, who will be the most water actor in history.

    In the old man's world, everyone is unfamiliar, but everyone has the identity of the person around them. They are no longer the person in their memory, so they have to ask again and again, who is he, who is she, He was so anxious that he could no longer trust any of his own perceptions, until he finally asked who I was. It shows the confused memory world of the old man in a movie way, and the design and switching of paragraphs are very comfortable. Praise Anthony for his performance.
