Father Stuck in Time (2020)
8.6
2020 / United Kingdom France / Drama / Florian Zeller / Anthony Hopkins Olivia Colman

A movie that is hard to ignore in 2021. At the beginning, I thought that there would be a magical storyline such as a time capsule (can't blame me, after all, this translation is easy to make people think a lot, but the overall look is certainly suspenseful, such as chaotic upside down. Timeline and characters to attract the audience, but more of a very calm and restrained lay-out, immersive restoration of the mental state of Alzheimer's patients, and the impact and harm of amnesia on patients and people around them

-The roles of several male characters in the film show how difficult it is to empathize with Alzheimer's patients, especially Anne's husband is very nice to Anne and seems to love her but can't accept this kind of life tied to her father

-Anne broke a glass in the kitchen after being scolded by her father for trying to drive him away to inherit the inheritance, which was her emotional breakthrough and almost wanted to kill her father

-Daughter takes her father to the hospital. The father sits alone in the chair outside waiting for the daughter who is alone in private chat with the doctor in the consultation room. I really feel more at that moment. Our sympathy is on the family members and sympathy for the loss of their exhausted personal lives But from a different perspective, the sudden loneliness of Anthony, who is sometimes confused and sometimes sober, is really hard to ignore.

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.
