When the leaves are falling

The narrative angle is novel. The Alzheimer's disease themes I watched before were all based on the patient's surrounding environment and people. This film shows the patient's chaotic memory from the first perspective of the patient, and it is very interesting to match the suspenseful soundtrack.

The undergraduate video course also tried to film Alzheimer's disease, and learned that the patient's memory and cognitive function declined, and then he lost the ability to adapt to social life. This process will kill the patient's will and consume all family members. energy and affection. There are also cases of this kind of predicament around me. The neighbor’s grandfather also suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. It’s not the scene where the children serve a demented father and then burst into tears. Be patient, my uncle began to beat and scold my grandfather, locked the old man at home, and often heard the old man knocking on the door at home and calling out for help. This kind of torture is depressive and realistic, and human nature is complex and cannot be viewed in a two-dimensional, one-size-fits-all manner. Just as Anne was in so much pain that she had fantasized about strangling her delirious father to death.

Sometimes when I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I think hypocritically about the meaning of life. It's really good to have memories in life. Whether it is extreme happiness or extreme sadness, all these memories constitute a complete individual. I rely on memory to survive, I am not afraid of death, only afraid of forgetting. If I also feel that late autumn is coming, wind and rain are coming, and my leaves are falling one by one, I don't know what can support my life at that time, or I can choose to end it all and go quietly and decently.

Also, Anthony Hopkins is doing great! Every frame of emotion is very moving, from a stubborn old man who is strong and arrogant and refuses all kinds of nurses, to a miserable old man who has lost all his decency like a baby and just wants to find his mother, his attention is completely attracted by him . Although the old man no longer needs the golden man to be crowned, this Oscar for Best Actor is well deserved!

    The first reaction is that after Brexit, the British did not go to work in France. Played a little bit of structural tricks, and the virtual and the real. The title could just be "Father," and I don't think he's just stuck in time. There are similarities with "My Sister", there is disgust and family affection, and finally the true confession. European and American society is relatively simple, and family relationships are simple. It’s good to focus on depicting emotions after explaining them quickly, just like Lars Eidinger quoted his wife’s words pisses at the same corner until it stinks. Chinese family relationships are too complicated, and it’s easy to understand each other’s hearts. Time-consuming, and the number of pages of the script left for emotional expression is tense. Hopkins and Coleman's performance is what Zhang Songwen said, "he is not afraid that you can't understand his performance", avoiding any superfluous expressions. In the film, Hopkins reported his own birthday. Ludovico Einaudi's music is good, but I still prefer "Untouchable".

    I happened to be flipping through a novel about my daughter caring for her Alzheimer's mother. Alzheimer's disease outside the movies is more embarrassing, more desperate, and more comprehensively depriving people of decency, energy, will and order in life. There is no well-organized and spotless fashionable house in the film; there is no smiling, kind-hearted caregiver; the elderly will not only lose their memory, but also incontinence, stink, have violent tendencies, wandering behavior, and even get lost. Some say that the elderly are as helpless as children. But the child represents growth, and the hope around him is entrusted to him, while the old man will only go step by step toward the twilight of no return. The feeling of staring at a child is completely different from staring at an old man. The former is like reading a picture scroll that is about to be unfolded, while the latter is an old book that is so broken that the writing is annihilated and cannot be put together. Because of this, looking at his father's turbid old tears on the screen, how could the viewer not be heartbroken and cry for it. Anniton, 84 years old, born on December 31, 1937, is a national treasure in the world.
