(And because of the word limit for short comments!) Two days, two brushes. 1. Film history should invent a term specifically for the film: Alzheimer's narrative technique. After the "Noon", I managed to control the narrative time most consciously. When the film played to the middle of the film (yeah, I've checked.) the smallest narrative arc appeared, I realized how this film is in linear viewing. It clearly presents the audience with a scattered but complete circular narrative like raindrops falling on the surface of a pond. A very enviable script. 2. What is even more rare is that the story of this film is absolutely not enslaved by the gorgeous narrative structure. Nolan! Take a good look at this movie, "Creed" was made that shit because you gave up telling "people" stories in movies. For an artist, the highest evaluation of others is "you are a man of flesh and blood", and for a film, the highest evaluation is "you tell the story of a man of flesh and blood." 3. Never before has any film presented the world of Alzheimer's patients with such a personal, first-hand perspective. Among them, the strong and affectionate humanistic concern relies on Hopkins's acting skills far exceeding the Oscar level, which made me cry twice at the end of the film. The best movies of 2021 to book.
