"The furthest distance in the world is not life and death. It's that I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you." -

The sadness like Tagore's poems permeates the emotions a little bit as the film unfolds Inside, slow, it is the rhythm of the elderly, just like Grant's emotions, there is no violent ups and downs, no irritability or anger, only wounds: written in the eyes, written in the action, written in the abandoned Injury in memory.
The story is simple. Changed his wife Fiona with Alzheimer's disease. During the treatment, he gradually forgot his beloved husband and placed his feelings on another patient. After silent observation and waiting day by day, the husband finally chose to fulfill his wife. . The wife played by Julie Christie has won the 60th Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. This "senile dementia person" is noble and elegant. She uses various expressions in her eyes to describe the pain and fear of forgetting and forgetting. She seemed to have entered another dream from one dream, and there was a blank space between the dreams and the awakenings.

Grant mentioned twice in the film: "I fell in love with her the first time I saw her, and we've never been apart since." Cried once. Fiona sat in the co-pilot seat and the meeting poured out of her mouth, she said, when we are ridiculous, we think we can get love every day. I cried again. The tears never stop. She turned, How do I look? He said, Just like always. Just as you always looked. She said to him, I'd like to make love. And I'd like you to go. Because I need to stay here. ...go now, go now. She used her final sobriety to push her lover out of her dream. However, it has been different since then. I can't imagine if the soul, the heart, the body that I loved so much, stared at me with the same clear eyes, caressed the cheek with the same tender gesture, and said softly with the same emotional voice: "You He has always been very good to me, did we know each other before?..." What kind of sadness will be in my heart, whether it is like the audience.
It's hard to imagine that such a film was made by a 27-year-old girl. After works such as "Dog Men and Women" and "No Such Thing", it is such a heavy heart-broken work.
I always remember a scene in the film, Grant was arranging his clothes in the mirror, and they appeared in the mirror when they were young, she hugged his waist from behind, and then the camera panned back to reality.
For a second, we can lose everything.

Neil Youn is singing:
because I am still in love with you, I wanna see you dance again
because I am still in love with you, on this harvest moon
