My grandma is the father Anthony in the movie. And my mother and uncle are the daughters in the movie.
After so many years since the death of grandpa, grandma's illness suddenly occurred. Deteriorating.
The nanny changed one after another, and none of them were satisfied, because she firmly believed that they had stolen her things.
Mother and uncle accompany each day to lunch at noon and sleep together at night, but grandma does not remember whether they have been there. As forgetfulness gets bigger and bigger, grandma's temper is getting bigger and bigger. Mother and uncle are often met with heartbreaking bad words and unprepared physical blows and stings. Not because they couldn't beat an old man, but when the irrational grandma shot out, they gave a hug.
The grandmother trapped in time has gradually forgotten who we are. She has been lost in Lone Deng Alley more than once. The family anxiously posted to Moments, emergency broadcasts, alarms, and vigorously mobilized relatives and friends to search overnight. But the last time he was taken back by the school or the police again and again.
The only thing that grandma might remember is the songbook that she held tightly in her hand. She often said that she would never forget the Four Seasons Songs she learned when she was five years old.
One morning, my grandmother and the nanny were walking outside when they were suddenly knocked down by the roadside by an oncoming motorcycle. She is an eighty-year-old old man with a bruise and swollen face, bruises and big bags all over her head, which is especially distressing to look at. However, within a few minutes, she had forgotten how these things happened. We looked at her and didn't even know whether it was bumped or forgotten. Which of these things was more sad and hopeless.
A few years ago, on my grandma’s birthday, I went back to see her, and suddenly found my grandma’s eyes were not right when looking at me, just like the daughter in the movie brought the chicken he bought back, but my father didn’t know her. When my grandma saw me, instead of calling my nickname with open arms as before, she smiled politely at me and nodded. Then he walked back to his seat indifferently and looked at everything in front of him coldly. These relatives who love him, those who have taken care of her for more than ten years day and night, her favorite stir-fried vegetables on the table, her favorite oil cake, and me, the favorite granddaughter who once mentioned her name every day, It is no longer in her world.
She just sat and sat like this, like a distant bystander, occasionally in a long daze. The bewildered eyes, the bewildered hands raised and lowered, and the expression of hesitation and silence, just like the father in the movie, losing himself again and again.
I wanted to recommend this movie to my mother, but at the time of writing this film review, I had decided to bury this movie in my heart.
Because I don't want to make her sad again.
Finally, to pay tribute to the film workers. Every detail, every look, expression, and every line in the film is so and so real.
This is the best gift I have received this year.
