Life is a lonely journey. Every age group has homework that needs to be practiced. When you are young, you need to practice how to face the grand view of the world, how to face temptation, how to let go and give up. It can be seen corresponding to the movie "Love".

The following is reproduced.

1. This film is narrated from the perspective of an old man with dementia. Only in the last few minutes is the old man viewed from the perspective of ordinary people such as doctors and nurses, so many viewers feel that most of the time the movie is plotted It's confusing, it's normal. But after watching the whole movie, you will find that, just like the Chinese translation of the movie, the old man was trapped in that period of time, and in that memory, he repeated this memory every day, but Affected by illness and reality, his memories are messy and trivial every time, and the faces in his memories will be confused with the doctors he sees every day in reality, which is why you will see the same thing in his repeated memories. Individuals have different faces.

2. You will find that this old man is very obvious that he gradually loses his grasp of time. He lost time. In fact, he has been repeating the process of taking things apart and putting them back together from different time periods. In the film, he loses his watch more than once, and can't wait to find his watch. I think the watch can be understood as the old man's last bottom line. As long as the watch is still there, he has not completely given up resisting all the strange things happening around him. , he still tried his best to be rational to sort out these things. In the end, when he returned to reality, he touched his hand and found that the watch was not there, but he did not insist on looking for the watch as before, and his emotions gradually collapsed. The disappearance of the obsession with the watch also means that his disease has entered late.

3. Many people are concerned about who hit the old man. I think it is the ex-husband of the old man's daughter. Through the messy memories, you can find that the relationship between the daughter and her husband has become increasingly heavy because of his father. It may be because the husband could not restrain his emotions and beat the old man. The trigger for divorce can be guessed from the way he thoughtfully biting his nails after beating the old man. At the beginning, the daughter said that she met Paul and wanted to go to Paris with him. In fact, it happened in recent months. The old man has been confusing the specific time of this incident and pieced it together with the memories of 5 years ago, so in the play On several occasions, he asked his daughter if she wanted to go to Paris, and her answers were inconsistent, because the answer was his daughter from 5 years ago and his daughter from recent months.

In short, the approximate timeline is: when the daughter and her ex-husband James 5 years ago were not divorced, because the third carer Angela was scared away by the old man, the daughter and ex-husband had to give up their vacation to take care of the old man, because the old man behaved What happened was abnormal. The daughter took the old man to see a psychiatrist and learned about the old man's condition. After telling her ex-husband, she had a dispute with her ex-husband. After 5 years, the daughter met Paul and chose to go to Paris with him
