Live in the moment of the river.

[Movie Log] The day before yesterday (26th), I watched "Father Trapped in Time". The plot is not complicated, but the perspective shows the story from an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which is very fresh and a little suspenseful. At the end, the green trees outside the window swayed, with the helplessness and thinking of life. After I came out of the Xindu Cinema, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the fragments of the life of the old man with the confused memory in the movie continued to be collaged and played back in my mind. The main entrance of the theater is closed, so we can only go through the back door. The tortuous back door is a bit tattered. I remember that I came out of this door last time, and I watched a movie with my daughter, which seemed to be "Dream Travel". It was also at night, when it was raining heavily outside, and people who had just watched the movie were hiding under the raindrop eaves at the door. The showers came suddenly, and many people didn't bring umbrellas. We finally rushed out and found our bikes. The two of us rode home in the rain. Now that I think about it, it was an interesting experience. Today (26th, today's yesterday's yesterday, the timeline is to write yesterday's log now) there is no rain, two tall building supports stand in the sky not far away, with red lights forming a long red line , I don't know if someone is still working on it at night. The red bracket is a bit scary at night. If you think that this is a device of alien creatures that suddenly visit, it is not surprising that it is like the strange egg in "Arrival", and it has a cyberpunk feel. Walking in the direction of home, getting closer and closer to this cyberpunk shelf, I saw several big characters: Chinese Architecture. There was no figure on it, and there was a faint roar. Most of the couriers on the road are motorcycles. They enrich the hot noon and deserted night streets, make the city run, and wait for red lights at crossroads. The two motorcyclists with the "Hungry?" boxes were handing over something. A thin man gave a battery to a fat man, and the fat man left him two bottles of drinks. The thin man said what are you doing? The fat man said to help me so much, otherwise you will run two orders, you should drink a bottle of water. The thin man kept a bottle. The green light came on and I continued on my way home. After crossing the intersection, the two were still chatting. Perhaps on such a night, after a tiring day for the two couriers, their not-so-familiar counterparts have become warm friends to each other. The moment at this moment was remembered by a passerby and written in the diary. They continue on their own way, and maybe they will remember this moment and each other many years later. Will I remember too? Two couriers talking at a crossroads on a sweltering night. This moment, like every other moment, is a fragment of the flow of life, and like the memory of the demented old man played by Anthony Hopkins in the film, it was salvaged by accident. The old man finally cried like a baby, "I'm looking for my mother

Everyone lives in the river of time, whether they are old or confused, and now, because living is with time, they become part of the current of time.

The Father quotes

  • Anthony: Can I ask you a question?

    Laura: Yes.

    Anthony: Are you a nun?

    Laura: No.

    Anthony: Then why are you speaking to me as if I'm retarded?

  • Anthony: I am worried. It's very worrying. I mean... Losing all my things, everyone's just helping themselves, and... If this goes on much longer, um, I'll be stark naked. And, um, I... I won't be able to tell what time it is.
