Forsaken family|When you are old

The horror atmosphere in the story is quite in place.

When it's dark, it's dark, where there should be music, there's music, and when it's scary, it's scary.

But looking at the whole story, it seems to be far away from "horror", probably because it has nothing to do with the genre of horror movies.

However, if you don't see the movie as a horror movie, it feels a bit fable.

It doesn't seem to be the main line of the story either. The three generations of the grandparents in the story, apart from the "genetic" misfortune, seem to have a somewhat similar life trajectory.

When I get older, if I suffer from Alzheimer's unfortunately, it seems to be a torment to myself and my children. Over time, this suffering gradually lost contact with the "family relationship."

From a moral point of view, in any case, children should bear the suffering, after all, "you raised me, and I am responsible for your old age."

But, when it comes to reality...

If you zoom in, it seems that human beings are sinking into this "life and death" cycle.

When I was young, I was full of fantasy, like exploring everywhere, but lost in the choice of intersections everywhere.

In middle age, watching parents get old, watching their children repeat their own mistakes, but they are powerless.

In old age, one can only watch the passage of time and slowly grow old. If you are lucky, you can leave decently, but if you are unfortunate, "old" becomes a catastrophe.

In this process, the only thing we can hope is that "family affection" can continue to "shine".

    It's boring and a waste of time. It's far from the family deconstruction feeling of staying at home. It's more of an inkblot. The mother's imprint will be reincarnated on the daughter, peeling off the mother's shell, and perhaps only the unfamiliar remains. At that moment, they accept each other and know each other. One's life is coming to an end, one's copying of mother and enemy is beginning, one has just entered the age of motherhood ! This film might as well be called a mother-daughter print
