Wish to grow old with dignity

First of all, Anthony can still act in his 80s, and he can act so well. I personally think that the performance of this film surpasses "Silence of the Lambs", and I admire it very much! In the film, the protagonist is in good physical condition and can play tap dance, but his memory is getting worse and worse. He is so confused that he can't recognize his daughter and son-in-law. , Insecure, looking for my mother to go home, crying. . . He said that he seemed to have lost all the leaves, only the branches and forks remained, did he imply the loss of memory and the loss of intelligence, and only the body remained. . . The first time I watched the movie, I watched the acting, scrutinized the plot, and studied the real image; the second time, by observing the details, I restored the people and things constructed in the protagonist's eyes one by one, aftertaste, sour and sad. . . .

In fact, before watching the film, I watched the short films about Alzheimer's disease in "Let's Advise the Director" and "Let's Shoot", but there was no empathy, but "Father Trapped in Time" brought a spiritual experience big earthquake. For the first time, I saw the people and things around me through the eyes of an Alzheimer's disease sufferer, so chaotic and helpless. No matter how high-spirited you used to be, you will eventually grow old. I hope that when it is my turn, I can grow old with dignity. . .

Five stars, strong push!

The Father quotes

  • Anthony: Can I ask you a question?

    Laura: Yes.

    Anthony: Are you a nun?

    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.
