I recommend everyone to watch this film, whether they are young or aging. After all, we all get old, and after all, our parents get old too.
This film is not entertainment. Although there is warmth and a little comfort, it is not a healing film. It actually presents a part of reality in the form of a movie-the reality that we may all face, either we are sick or our family is sick. It takes courage to watch this film, because it is not a pleasant viewing process, it is a moment when we are still awake, using vivid film language to tell us what is going on with Alzheimer's disease, in this strange time and space journey , we can have three perspectives at the same time: the pure audience perspective, seeing how daughters and fathers are struggling; the kinship perspective of a loved one with the illness, imagining how to deal with the situation; the illness self perspective, imagining yourself How to deal with this situation;
Anthony Hopkins in his twilight years, not acting, but acting like a guide, takes us into the world of Alzheimer's, memory and space, how disorganized, extremely real, and therefore terrifying, but it is also This is the meaning of the film - if we can realize that this situation may happen when we are still awake, we will actively prevent and face it, instead of being helpless when things come. This film is worth watching twice. The first time is usually confusing. The second time, the thinking has been sorted out, and many places are no longer inexplicable, which will bring deeper perception.
Thanks to the art of cinema, we can have an experience without having to experience it in person. The realistic experience seems to be experienced in person, and wise people will take this opportunity to organize their lives. Alzheimer's disease is not inevitable, in fact, I am now making efforts to avoid future Alzheimer's disease, such as studying and exercising hard every day, is also one of the ways.
