Unlike the Dallas Buyers Club who watched McConaughey last year (telling about AIDS), at first I, like many people, felt that it was nothing to have Alzheimer. After all, people are more or less forgetful when they are old. What really made me feel the severity of Alzheimer was Alice’s “I wish I had cancer.” She felt that cancer is a “recognized” disease all over the world, and people with cancer can raise money and seek medical treatment in an “righteous” manner. ; And Alzheimer makes her feel ashamed. It is not as popular as cancer. When people hear it, they will look at the sick in a strange way, equating the patient with dementia. So the whole film is about the process of the 50-year-old college teacher in the early days of Alzheimer not only fighting with his own illness, but also with his own psychology.
The role setting is not a poor person, on the contrary, she has a successful career, family, and treatment and is not short of money. From start to finish, she can use advanced equipment to assist her treatment, write notes on the apple, ask questions to herself, and play Scrabble; she can video with her daughter, and she is also conducting her own treatment at a special Alzheimer medical institution.
Still, the protagonist’s despair and pain were well brought into play by Aunt Moore. The film did not have any major conflicts, but a series of events were arranged in a straightforward manner throughout the film, just like the experience of ordinary patients. Suffering from his own illness, having a temper, and laughing wildly at the sea with her husband after crying. She chats with her children and quarrels over trivial matters. What is more impressive is that she said in the last speech that she has been learning "the art of losing" since she fell ill. She has slowly forgotten the wealth and career she has accumulated over the past 50 years. , Life, slowly forget yourself. "I'm not suffering, I'm struggling." While marking the words I have said with a marker to prevent forgetting, I was thinking, "Yes, maybe tomorrow, I will also forget the words I said now. No, oh not maybe, it must be.”
The climax of the film is probably her "attempted suicide" at the end. In fact, this was the video she recorded for herself at the beginning. When she forgot all the moment came, she opened the video and got the message "Go to the cabinet and swallow the bottle of medicine whole. Remember, don't tell anyone else." "So, Alice herself is pessimistic. In the early days, she was afraid of things that hadn't happened yet, thought about her own future, and was always ashamed of changing into this disease. It’s just that, on the way to get the medicine, she forgot what she was going to do, so when she really had to swallow the pill in the end (I can’t tell if she really forgot everything and just acted on the video or really wanted to commit suicide), The butler who came here interfered.
After watching Samsung, in fact, the plot is mainly to highlight the protagonist, so the whole movie feels quite short and not complete. Of course, when I was thinking, "Is it the same as death after a person completely forgets himself?", the end came. The daughter played by Xiao K said a paragraph for his mother, "Nothing's lost forever." What is it? She asked her mother.
(This is where I think the complexity of Alzheimer's impact on a person is so serious that it does not even make the patient desperate, because she has forgotten that she has the disease.)
It was as if Alice's expression was no longer as wise as it used to be, she really looked like a sick person, smiling stupidly, looking at the little girl in front of her. But she answered unexpectedly quickly, "Love."
