old man in siege

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...

    Expressing the Alzheimer's that we often talk about through a grotesque, thrilling, suspenseful, and deranged narrative technique is the "further" pursued by the creator, which is really surprising. It is well deserved to be recognized by so many awards.

    There are many movies that tell the story of the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, and they generally adopt the narrative from the perspective of relatives. But the narrative technique of this film is very unique. The director and screenwriter have carefully designed many "obstacles": use jumping and reciprocal editing to blur the concept of time; use apartment-clinic-nursing home similar or similar room structure to disrupt the space experience; use alternately confused actors with role identities to confuse characters. As a result, the audience was stunned by the dislocation development of the line-like plot, as if it had always been substituted into the first-person feelings of the elderly with Alzheimer’s disease, and fell into deep confusion, doubt, grievance and inexplicable helplessness, and it was difficult to wake up like a nightmare. . In addition to the deliberately created chaotic structure, the dependent and tense relationship between father and daughter runs through the film, and it is also supported by the acting skills of Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman to move people's hearts. Audiences with such elderly people at home will be more impressed. However, who can guarantee that when we get old, we will not have such a terrible experience of being unable to distinguish the reality and being irresistible? Samsung and a half
