Having read Monroe's short stories, the feeling of reading it is as if listening to a person who is quite worldly speaking about the parents of her neighbors. The characters in her works are all extremely ordinary little people, and there is no great ups and downs in life, great sorrow and joy, very similar to our own lives. However, she is very observant and has a deep understanding of ordinary events. She can be regarded as a first-class novelist because of her insight into the subtle changes of human nature in various events at various stages of life. She sees all the small waves that occur when the river of individual life flows slowly, and makes an excellent description and analysis, so that readers can't help but be amazed when they read these plots and details that they usually don't pay attention to. This is the deep impression left when reading Monroe's novels. The film fully demonstrates this outstanding feature of Monroe's novel. How two loving couples approaching aging face the challenges of aging. Dementia is a good entry point. A couple who got married at the age of 18 and have a deep relationship. The wife completely forgot her husband because of Alzheimer's disease, and she completely forgot about her husband who came to visit her in the dementia nursing home. The old man came out. The husband went through endless emotional torture, and at the same time tried to save himself, and finally reached the day when the willows were bright with unremitting efforts. The plot is not complicated, the details are very important, the dialogue is not much, but it is meaningful, the performance of the two old actors is quite good, there is no need to set up too much for how deep and beautiful their past years are, only a few flashbacks to the past, lost. Zhi's ignorance and distressed concern are all in it. The film starred Julie Christie, who starred in "Doctor Zhivago" when she was in her 20s, and starred in this film at the age of 66. The graceful and calm (before illness) charm is a very beautiful sight. Lamenting that in the worst case, we must strive to stay together. How many people can do this?
