The feeling of watching the whole film is that I feel very distressed and uncomfortable. My grandmother is also an Alzheimer's disease patient. She ran away from home, can't recognize people, and doesn't know where she is...I don't know what her world is like Yes, from my point of view, getting old is really boring. The sense of separation from the world makes me feel that life and life are meaningless, and my memory is gone. What can I use to prove my existence? In the end, the old man said, "Anthony, what a nice name." It was so sad that he didn't even remember it. He missed his mother, he was calling for his mother, he leaned on the shoulder of the nurse, the fragility and helplessness at that moment reflected the child's appearance, but the patience of the old man was far less than that of the child. This kind of disease is like a besieged city where people can't get in, people inside can't get out, even if someone can walk in and hold his hand to give guidance... This film is described from the perspective of an old man, The confusion of time and space can let the audience experience the loneliness, panic and helplessness of Alzheimer's patients. There is no good treatment for this disease. The only thing we can do is to accompany them more and give them care and love, at least not. Let Alzheimer's overrun the world of the elderly. I really hope that one day a corresponding drug will be developed for this disease...

    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.
