Such a heavy feeling. I am afraid of death, I am afraid of disease, and I am afraid of aging. Suffering from illness, losing dignity due to dementia, and being abandoned by children... This kind of old age is really too heavy. The leaf represents Emilio, the son sent him to the nursing home, a leaf floated in, and Emilio released it. The leaves do not belong to the waiting room, just as the old man no longer belongs to the family in the eyes of the son. The leaves were stuck on the door for a while, but they were blown away by the strong wind. When the son's car drove away, the door of the nursing home was closed, and the leaves were blown higher. I think he must be very sad and helpless at this time. After that, he worsened the dementia, and the leaves fell to the ground. Suddenly sober, he sneaked into the pool to swim, but Miguel was frightened. He said that even if I'm not sober afterward, I'll be myself now, doing what I like. Then spring came, and new shoots appeared on the trees. I thought everything would turn around. But Miguel's escape plan failed, the three old men were involved in a car accident, and Emilio was sent upstairs. Miguel spent all his savings and lost his companion. I think this is very painful and desperate, and the darkness after feeling the light is even more unbearable. The condition of the people around me is gradually getting worse, and there are fewer and fewer people sitting at a table to eat. He no longer deceives the old people who don't recognize things like he used to, he helps them all fulfill their wishes. Then he went upstairs with Emilio. He thought Emilio was conscious when he was interested in things. As he called out his specific nickname Rockefeller, Emilio smiled knowingly.
Maybe everyone has a better ending, and it seems to be the only way to go.
Whoever thinks Westerners like nursing homes, let him watch Wrinkles! !
Nursing homes are commercial establishments, and their customers are family members, not the elderly. Maybe many facilities are just deceptive decorations. The elderly have no access to information from the outside world in the nursing home. Faced with various illnesses, maybe the person talking will be like the announcer Filler, who squandered all the information when he was young. If you say it, it becomes a repeater when you get old. People who can't take care of themselves have to wait in line to wash up, otherwise they have to wait all night before they can get help from the nurses. Unless family members take the initiative to visit, they are not allowed to make calls or go out. They can only be detained in a small courtyard, taking medicine, watching "people who are walking faster than themselves" around them, and follow in their footsteps. Prisons aren't that scary.
This is different from a child going to school. Although the child is reluctant to go to school at the beginning, the company of his classmates, the care of his parents, etc. are full of vitality and a relatively stable atmosphere. Living in a nursing home is not only an interlude of entering the grave step by step, but seeing fewer and fewer people eating together, the future is always unknown and dark, I don’t know when I will lose my sense of independence, I don’t know where my destination is Where, I don't want to face the dignified appearance after losing consciousness...
This movie has a lot of details, many transitions and techniques. I believe it is a movie that can be tasted over and over again. But it's too heavy and maybe I'll never open it again.
