This movie is the third.
It's been a while since I sat down quietly and watched a movie seriously. It’s still 8 o’clock when I get home from get off work and cook noodles by myself, with a bright screen and a dark room. The reason for choosing this movie is that the script is adapted from a writer I like, Alisha Monroe, although I read her other work "Escape" instead of "Bear From the Mountain" which was adapted for this movie.
I really like the opening of this movie, the white snow in the mountains and the simple but exquisite house. Reading glasses, hot coffee, cardigans, warm fireplaces, spotless carpets, he and she have been together for many years. At first I thought it was the same theme as "Sister Peach". Grant, a gentle and elegant retired university professor, and her old but still charming wife Fiona have lived together for 44 years. They rely on each other and are used to taking care of each other. Occasionally, the wife will complain The son would only send gifts but would not come back to see them, until one day, his wife suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
For a life partner, life, old age, sickness and death should be in preparation, ready to accompany her, take care of her, take care of her, and even... send her away. His former graceful demeanor, and her former gentleness and beauty, will be washed away by time and age, and the rest will be waning years and each other.
Maybe this movie can only be said to be an ordinary movie if it develops according to such a plot. But its ending, like its translated name, turns a corner. When Grant saw his Fiona in the nursing home wearing tacky clothes she would never wear, snuggling sweetly next to another old man, he asked the paramedics in dismay if this was my wife.
Not only did it forget you, it even kicked you out of my mind and brought in another person.
Away from Her, yes, she left. The soul you loved and loved has left, and only the same body remains in your life and in your memory. But you have no choice, because you love her in your memory, so you have to make her happy, let her be happy, and let her enjoy the last time. This is the ultimate love, the love that none of us can do.
So everything is so irrelevant before life and death, before spiritual separation.
May the years be peaceful, may love be peaceful, and may you all be well.
