Unclear days

Commemorate the first film seen in New York. Do a little bit of heart and hope that the movie theater can survive. Looking forward to the New York Film Festival.

After watching the movie, I was wrapped in fear and left the cinema. I don't know how much homework Anthony has done. His expressiveness dragged me back to those days that I didn't really want to remember. My first job was in a place called institution, home, nursning home, whatever you want.

In the movie, the time is constantly switching. Although it was a little confusing at first, I guessed that he no longer lived in his or his daughter's house after a while. His stubbornness, his self-esteem, the look in his eyes switched in confusion and fear. The emotional change is too good, just like those old people who were still immersed in happiness a second, they will suddenly become enemies with everything around them in the next second. Some forgetting is obviously a blessing, but there are still traces to follow, and I can't completely forget it. Looking for the memories that are slowly being lost, I don't know if it is like being trapped in a kaleidoscope.

In the place where I used to work, use this film as an opportunity to let me record what they used to be. The memory is so fragile. Although there are only ten months, it is enough for me to hate and pity that place. Although it is at the most beautiful seaside in Sydney, and a house deposit will cost one million dollars in 2015, I still hope that I can have a chance to settle myself.

There is an old couple, husband 97 and wife 94. Grandpa I don't remember the name anymore, but the grandma's name is Marcie. Both have good legs and feet. The grandfather is very clear in his mind. He remembers that every Tuesday is a fixed day by the doctor, and his car is still in the parking lot. Although he won't be driving, he still starts to start occasionally and feel a second of freedom. Marcie is a little confused, recognizes me occasionally, and forgets me occasionally. Later, Marcie fell and fell. Like the most common story, she was taken to the hospital with a fractured femur and was thrown back by the hospital on the first day after the operation. We had no choice but to work hard to recover, but after all, the manpower was limited. Later, the wound became inflamed and was sent back to the hospital, and was sent back a few hours later. After a few days, people left. Later, the grandfather was transferred from the double room to the single room opposite. He was stunned every time he passed by. Stop telling me stories, it seems to have taken half my life.

Patricia, it should be this name. Parkinson doesn't know how many periods have passed, and she has been restricted in walking. What bothers her most is the thought of going to the toilet in the middle of the night, because it is always difficult to sit up in bed because of freezing. I spent a lot of time with her every day, practicing with her how to get up and how to stand up without falling. On the day I left my job, she took my hand and said that I gave her a lot of freedom and gave her a lot of dignity. At that time, I couldn't bear to live a photo of us on the ins po. It turned out to be the only photo left in that job.

Mary, is probably the person most like Anthony in the movie. There is an area on the bottom of the nursing home that requires swiping card + pressing password to enter and exit. All of them are aggressive patients, with grumpy dementia, and schizophrenia. The nurses are also big and round. Two people come to sing and dance with them every Friday, hoping that the music can soothe their inner anxiety. There was a very skinny old lady named Mary inside. It's the kind of grandmother who is cute when smiling, but needs several people to stop her being irritable. Once I got up in the middle of the night and broke my femur in the toilet. I was sent to the hospital for an operation and returned without recovering. The human heart at that time was really sinister. Because she couldn't walk because of the fracture, Mary had a lot of life. There was a nurse who took care of her in this way and it was easier to prevent me from rehabilitating her. Every time I took her to practice how to stand up, she ridiculed her.

There is also an old man who loves to eat Menglong. He was a pilot in World War II and later became a mechanical engineer of a car. After his wife passed away, she was so sad that she was admitted to a nursing home. At that time, I just learned to drive, and I told me a lot about car maintenance. The cutest thing is that Menglong was engaged in activities at the time. Some ice cream sticks will have a free one logo. He saved up and gave it all to me. He told me that he couldn't get out anyway, so I asked me to take it for myself. Made a lot of contributions to my weight. Later, his daughter picked him up, and I really felt so relieved.

Alyssa, it may be a ray of light in a dark age. At that time, I was exhausted while waiting for my green card. I wanted to leave this job but couldn't enter the hospital. Alyssa's contract with the hospital just expired, so I had to come to my side. Helping me prepare for the interview and telling me every day not to stay here and consume my will has given me a lot of confidence and courage. Later, she left after an interview and got a new job. I also left soon afterwards. Later I heard that she went to study medicine and never saw her again to thank her for helping me realize my dream. I hope everything goes well for her. I hope she and her girlfriend have children of their own.

There is also an old lady with a lot of thieves in conspiracy theories. Later, when I moved, I found that there was still a book of hers that I had not returned to her. A rich man from a wealthy family from a young age, his wife is very beautiful, and often visits him, watching him become unknown person day by day, can't imagine her sadness. There is also an old lady named Yvonne who is blind but likes cute things. There is also an old grandfather who sleeps until ten o'clock every day, really envious. There is also a hundred-year-old couple who can only sit in a wheelchair every day, not knowing what they are thinking. I was very happy the day I received the centenary certificate. After thinking about it for a long time, the couple that I can remember finally can't remember the name. When they met in a nursing home, they also fell in love at dusk.

Except for a few couples, one of whom lives in a nursing home, and the other often visits. If the spouse is widowed or two people are in a nursing home together, it is rare to see children coming. I don't know why, remember very clearly.

All these people. She was someone's special one, he lived a life worth celebrating, they had their stories, but no one really knows what it is anymore. No one is there at the end to witness it. All the story is gone. We're here and then we're gone.

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.
