It's an immersive experience. It's the world you see through Anthony's eyes. Everything you see and feel is unbelievable and incomprehensible because of the world he lives in. In his world, scenes, characters, and time are changing at any time, and this change is random. This random permutation creates endless possibilities, making his already dull nerves even more crowded and confused.

There is no need to analyze who the daughter is, where he is, and the sequence of events. None of this matters. Because this is a dream, everything is disrupted and reorganized, and even comes from imagination. The analysis based on the dream is meaningless, and this meaninglessness is actually what this film wants to express. In Anthony's mind, what he sees, hears and feels is like a broadcast that often goes on the radio. His life is like constantly exploring unknown areas and constantly solving suspenseful plots. What's worse, because there is no logic The relationship can be said, this kind of exploration and detection often has no direction, and there is no possibility of solution. He will live in a dream for the rest of his life, until he actually falls asleep and never wakes up.

    In the end, my father said that I had worn a watch on this trip. I was an aging driver of life. I used to cruise in the corridor of his apartment. When I went back to my room and came out again, the time would change. He didn't know, he was confused, he Just to confirm the time, he has two watches, one in his hand, and one in his heart, and he also has to confirm his confirmation. The lighting of this movie is very particular, almost the light of the father's "subjective", dim and dark, and the furnishings of the apartment are also very gorgeous. The most wonderful thing is the corridor with a strong sense of depth, which is the corridor of time. In the end, my father never went back there. The objective fact that he came to the hospital is very sad. I seem to be trapped while watching the movie, and I can't go in and out freely like that. Anthony Hopkins's performance is like a bone-like palm, with firmness inside and softness on the outside. Every performance is very powerful, and it is even rarer that it is the last scene. When the splendor is lost, the eyes are clear. the essence of aging.

    A somewhat Harold Pinter-esque drama style, a chamber drama that emphasizes both psychology and aesthetics, using a highly dramatic approach to express Alzheimer's disease. Audio-visual can keep up with the plot and performance, step by step, empathy, the audience loses control of reality with the characters. The daughter also provides a perspective of empathy, and you can feel her pain too. Although it is a single scene, it continues to create continuous time/space, real/misunderstood fluidity in the apartment environment and perspective shift, and pure interior space is a test of technology. The old man played really well, he was completely a helpless old man.
