As a digression, the room in the movie looks good, with gray-blue walls and milky white wood panels. The style of the room once made me think it was a French movie.
Old age is really sad, the elderly cannot take care of themselves, one is physical, the other is mental, and each has its own torment. When I am old, fragmented stories are arranged messily together, I remember a lot of things, but I don't remember when they happened, and they are randomly staged in my mind, like a revolving light before life disappears.
If you can get thoughtful care, it is not too bad to relive your life in such a ridiculous way.
When people are old, where does the sense of security come from? I don't know, but according to my observations, it's not children, it's not money, it's not all kinds of experiences in life. In the movie, the apartment and the watch are the source of the father's sense of security, and his obsession with a certain item. The apartment is his habitat in this world, and the watch is the proof that life still exists and can continue.
The disease was getting worse and the chaos made him realize that he was going to lose both, no home and no time.
The old man finally cried, talking about his mother. This performance is really amazing, like a child at a loss, an old man in his 80s called Mommy, he forgot his daughter's early death, his home, and even his name, but he still remembered that his mother had a pair of big eyes.
I remembered that before my grandfather died, Alzheimer's disease was very serious, and he couldn't speak clearly. The day before he died, he had been drawing a circular object with his hands. Yes, my mother led him to look everywhere, at home, outside, to the places he likes to play when his legs are good, we guessed the names of the round objects, and he shook his head.
In the end, Grandpa couldn't say anything, and we didn't find it or guess what it was. After watching this movie, I thought, maybe this thing is like the watch in the movie for the elderly. He couldn't find it, his sense of security was gone, and he had a premonition that he was going to leave this world. As for what this thing was, it was no longer important.
