Wrinkles are unavoidable, I may be able to walk faster than time

Some movies need to be watched with friends. Go to the convenience store at midnight to buy soda and potato chips, and quietly bring them into the cinema one minute before the movie starts.

When I am alone, I will choose some movies and watch it quietly by myself.

"wrinkle"

The story was told slowly for an hour and a half, without the ups and downs of the plot. After reading it, I remembered a lot of things.

Emilio has Alzheimer's, and Miguel is a little nasty and cute.

When Emilio first found a box of cash in Miguel's drawer, I foolishly thought Miguel had quietly removed Emilio's wallet and watch.

Aging is something a person cannot avoid, and people like Emilio don't want to admit that they are aging, let alone admit that they have Alzheimer's. So he gradually realized and admitted that the whole process of his illness seemed a little difficult, or it made me look helpless and sad.

When watching the whole film, I thought of two old people.

1

An old man with Parkinson's.

When I last visited the old man's house before leaving home a few years ago, it was still as clean and tidy as before, except that the sofa was a little yellowed and the cat was old.

When I left, I found the words posted on the door, written by the old man's lover: Please check whether the water and electricity are turned off before leaving home.

My eyes were wet in an instant, and when I was in the stairwell, I couldn't let go for a long time before I left. When I looked back at the door, I didn't know how long it would be or what they would be like the next time I was going there.

Another one is my grandma.

The grandma who grew up with me, but I can't accompany the grandma who grew old with her. Every time I called my grandma, the content was the same, from the meal to the weather, and the topic ended in a hurry.

It's true that I don't want to share very much with my grandma in my current life. I just want to make up for the feeling of not having company by my side by making a phone call.

When I was a child, the food my grandma cooked was delicious, but when I grew up, I thought it was just ordinary, but I rarely eat it, and I really miss those flavors. Years inadvertently climbed up my grandma's brows and dyed my temples white. This helpless and unwilling to admit fact is that I did not spend time with my grandma.

The time to meet less and less will only feel that the time is getting faster and faster, the time will not be slower and faster, but I have to go faster than the time.

Speaking of Emilio swimming and the escape of the three elderly people from the nursing home in the film, I misinterpreted it as a compromise after Emilio admitted his condition. This compromise is not a pessimistic bow, but a sudden realization of living in the moment.

I used to think that if I get sick someday, when I'm sick in bed, or when I need medicine to support my life, I don't have the courage to end my life, and I don't want to live without hope. Now it seems that Emilio suddenly seems to give me a new answer.

Wrinkles quotes

  • Emilio: Don't touch me! Let me be! I'm sick of all that nonsense! I'm not dead, you know? I'm not dead *yet*. Maybe in a year I won't even know who I am, but today, right now, I'm alive, and this is a swimming pool, and I want to swim, and I swim, and that's it! End of it! And if you don't like it, then... then... then fuck you!

  • Child Dolores: Well, OK, if you want, we'll start dating, but only if you first bring me a cloud!
