The caregiver at that nursing home said that their toes would be gathered before death. That is the last breath away from them.
It was a long winter. All things come together.
The father who had disappeared for many years suddenly appeared in their lives. It also appeared with the term Alzheimer's.
The father who once abandoned them and left an indelible mark on their childhood is now just sitting in a wheelchair, tortured by aging and scattered memories.
The siblings are under the pressure of their lives.
Wendy has no fixed income, takes various antidepressant drugs, and escapes loneliness by sleeping with a family man who is more than 20 years older than her. John is also the bearer of the family shadow as a child. Even if his Polish girlfriend who had lived together for three years had to return to his home country because of the expiration of his visa, he still could not make the promise of marriage.
If it weren't for the father's news, maybe they would keep going like this. Anxious or indifferent, powerless against life.
The father's mind was awake and vague from time to time.
They watched black and white movies with him and took him home for Christmas.
When he is fuzzy, he is a grumpy child who will yell at his daughter at any time. I pay for you to take care of me, not for you to tell me what to do!
When he was awake, listening to the dispute between his children in the car, he quietly turned down the volume of the hearing aid...It was a heartbreaking scene, and then that night, his father's toes were also curled up.
He finally got tired.
In the last moments of his life, his only peace may be those nights staring at the red floating lights.
He is more like an unprotected child, all of his mind is gradually leaving his body, he can't maintain his dignity, he can't feel his power. Everything is lost. Everything is blurry.
An old world. This world we have to face after all.
For a long time, I haven't been exposed to such sincere movies again.
Let you empathize with every detail when you think about it.
Wendy's red pillow. John's choking on the phone in the middle of the night. Wendy stared at the dog's expression while making love. Speaking of death to my father for the first time. Everything that happened that winter. The more I look back, the more I miss it.
When the father was gone, the camera was facing the room where the father lived briefly, silently, and stopped silently for a long time.
The scene was almost silent enough to make me cry.
All people will grow old eventually.
Death is always the textbook of life.
And before the long farewell comes, don't find any excuses to avoid those that are worthy of our cherishment.
