"I feel as if i'm loosing all my leaves." "The branches and the wind and the rain." "I don't know what's happening anymore." It is the idea that the film conveys that it is not clear. I didn't put myself in the movie, I was sleepy, but the scene at the end with old man Anthony in his nursing home room was heartbreaking. Just substituting these few lines is enough to experience the helplessness, fragility, confusion and despair of Alzheimer's patients. How much hope that a little more advanced medicine can cure this disease and save people from such torture.
