"Father Trapped in Time" - "hold me"

Neuroscience tells us that AD patients will lose short-term memory in the early stage, and the memory of a long time ago will be lost in the middle and late stage. When I study, I just feel that these memories will disappear out of thin air. However, although the memory is broken or disappeared, those times really existed. In the brains of AD patients, are those fragmented or lost memories reconfigured and distorted according to time?

I think the movie has already told us the answer. When Anthony was in the nursing home, he shattered and reconstructed the memories of his own apartment, his daughter's apartment and the nursing home, so as to gain a "sense of security". So the faces of characters can appear in different identities, such as "Bill", I don't want to say much about the way this movie is, there must be someone who can say it better than me.

The only thing I think about is, if AD patients really forget all their memories, instead of shattering and reconstructing them, will they be happier? In this way, they have forgotten the passage of time, and just live by guarding the fading memories of the past... If I had the choice, I would choose the complete forgetting of the memory, rather than face the broken and twisted weight that broke me. build memory...

"My leaves are all gone", can you hold my hand at the end, pretend to be my mother and whisper my name, tell me that the sun is good outside, we should take a look...

    It's so brain-burning, maybe this is exactly what the director wants the audience to experience. The confused characters and the disordered time and space form a disordered memory. My father is trapped in time and can't get out. By my side, I recognize you as someone else.

    Near the end of the film, watching the silver-haired, trembling Hopkins think for a moment, and when he said to himself, "Anthony, that's a good name," he couldn't tell the inside and outside of the play for a while, and his tears almost broke... Turning around with the vines, it spread to the childhood when I was still watching movies with vcd. He is one of the few names I remember when I first entered the movie world: He is the frightening and convincing Dr. Hannibal in "The Silent Lamb". He is the young doctor who brought the deformities and deformities back to the warm and humane world in "The Elephant Man". He is the British butler who has repeatedly tolerated and repeatedly controlled, and eventually missed love in "Farewell to the Affectionate Heaven". He is a highly restored Benedict XVI who faced constant scandals and was struggling to change his mind in "The Inheritance of the Pope". He is the father of a retired colonel who silently guards the family in the Wild West in "The Years of Love". He is the rich father who followed the benevolent temptation in "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death" and finally "sacrificed" himself to make the love between his daughter and the god of death. At 84 years old this year, it has been almost 30 years since the first Oscar winner. He is worth the second time
