unbearable leaves

My father who was stuck in time reminded me of Huang Bo's variety show "Unforgettable Restaurant" when he was MC, all of which focused on the elderly with Alzheimer's disease.

Don't forget to face aging and forgetting with an optimistic and positive attitude of the elderly. And the movie reflects the plight of an elderly father whose illness is getting worse, trapped in the fragments of time and memories of the past, trapped in vitality and memory like the leaves of a tree withering away with the wind, unable to gather, trapped in a broken family .

The youngest daughter died unexpectedly, and the eldest daughter married away. The place where he lives is also constantly moving due to the aggravation of his illness, and the caregivers are constantly changing, but the family emotions he defends and guards are just as weak as his apartment. Memories also tormented him like the real and unreal replays over time, so that in the end the face of his dear daughter was blurred, and the fragile no longer bluffed into the nurse's arms, forgetting everything about himself, calling for the mother in memory, calling for With his mother to take him home, return to the warmth of the family.

At the end of the shot, there are green trees outside the nursing home, and the mood can be described as complicated. One day, I will also grow old. If I unfortunately suffer from Alzheimer's disease, will it be like the father in the movie falling into lonely memories? Or live a positive and optimistic life like the old people who can't forget? Hope you will be free and positive.
