On the road in front of the building, I tried to carve a saddle...

The plot is not strange, but the performance is strange.

The scene is not dreamy, but the scene changes and changes, true and false, this is dreamlike.

I want to use a few sentences of Yan Jidao to illustrate the escape, regret and regret during this period:

Hua Yinyue, willow warbler, near Qingming.

Long hate the rain last year tonight, sprinkled in the pavilion.

(Again) Louqian Road, once tried to carve saddles,

Fighting but with tears in his arms, leaning against Lan to see!

It is surprisingly similar to Yan Jidao, using a super subjective perspective to show how the old man thinks, sees, and breathes.

I remembered that when I read my grandma’s diary, it was written that why I didn’t go to my children’s home for the New Year because I was afraid of urinary incontinence. If it weren't for my seeing this, I wouldn't be able to understand the old man's thoughts at the time. Just like we are not watching movies, and we don't know much about Alzheimer's disease. Our understanding is just a noun.

2 Always reminds me of Buñuel. Especially in "The Phantom of Freedom", one corner and two of the film are stolen from this.

The two sons-in-law said the same thing, so we know that it is definitely one person: I want an honest answer, nothing fancy. Can you do that for me? How much longer do you intend to hang around Getting on everybody's tits?

People and things are in free change. Father’s film is a pathology of the body, and Buñuel is a pathology of the mind.

There is illusion only when there is disease, which points to the heresy of life.

In other words, the movie must be read in reverse. If the movie is made like this, it is a rare phenomenon.

Let two people play a daughter, this is a kind of familiar alienation. Those two played a son-in-law, which is a kind of humorous fear.

In the entire film history, such a technique is rare. But for thoughtful directors, they can always receive miraculous effects. People are always multi-faceted, right?

When the father said to his daughter: "I'm going to outlive you." The daughter was full of tears.

3 The more an old man is afraid of something, the more he will fantasize about it. Some people will get stronger.

For example, her daughter married away from Paris, her house was sold, she was alone in a nursing home, she was beaten by her son-in-law, and so on.

The only way between him and reality is the window in his bedroom, which is often opened and closed. There can shine into the light of reality. But there is nothing to comfort him. His fear is always greater than the comfort he gets.

My grandma is like this, and he is embarrassed to be afraid of urinary incontinence at my son's house. Fear of being alone all afternoon. Afraid of going to the market to buy groceries, a strong young man will compete with him. She also has nightmares. She wrote all this in her diary. I saw her diary ten years after her death. Her diary wants me to understand her daily fears.

It’s better than a movie.

The world of the elderly is fascinating. I feel that I have been fermenting for decades of life, fermenting in the nests, and I don't know what will come out.

For example, the tap dance performed by Hopkins.

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.
