Some people come and go, leaving marks. As time goes by, the marks become more and more blurred. Isn't life a process of getting Alzheimer's disease?
This is a very personal film review.
The older you are, the more you believe in fate. Earlier, I asked my neighbors for movie resources, but I didn't think it was due to reasons like this. Later, I planned to watch the re-screening of "Paradise Cinema" on the Dragon Boat Festival, but I didn't think it. After the holiday, I turned to the hot movies and saw "Father Trapped in Time" is still showing, and there is a suitable venue in the movie theater more than 800 meters away from home. I bought 16 tickets decisively. Word.
Secretly rejoicing, but also felt that Woody Allen lived in a slum as a child in "Deep In My Heart", and went out to the movie theater, and the fare was cheap, so I often felt in it. Although I don't have his talents, I have experienced a similar experience to him, and I have a little bit of pain and fun.
The protagonist is Anthony, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. I can see him acting, and I can even feel the reality under his acting. Tarkovsky said in "Sculpture Time"—According to Aristotle’s point of view, the expression of genius always makes us feel familiar. This feeling has different depths and depths depending on the spiritual level of the recipient. The dimension... and once we can't see through it, we will have real enjoyment. A true artistic image can simultaneously awaken the recipient's inner conflicts and complex feelings of mutual exclusion.
This is the case with Anthony. As the main image of this movie, he disturbs the emotions of the viewers without any effort. Seeing the caregiver who looked like his daughter (actually the daughter’s hallucinations, and because of Alzheimer’s disease, he can’t remember her daughter), he even performed a dance very flexibly and gracefully invited the other party to drink for a "hook up." , I can see the charm of Anthony when he was young, and then suddenly lost his temper to the nurse, making the nurse instantly shocked and afraid to speak.
In the years when a person was born, no matter how sloppy and volatile his temper is, he is allowed, because TA has just come to this world; when a person is old and close to twilight, no matter how strange and difficult it is, he will be criticized or even rejected. , Even if TA leaves the world visible to the naked eye, TA should have the posture that an elderly person should have rather than an old naughty one. So in the middle of the movie, Anthony's son-in-law really couldn't bear it. He slapped him a few times. He immediately cried like a child, but he could no longer say like a talking child: He hit me.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Anthony's daughter Anne, she is undoubtedly great. Even if it is Anthony’s biological daughter, Annie has done enough, especially when Anthony said with a black face, "I like Laura the most. She paints very well. I only like Laura for the two daughters." Laura is Anne. My sister has passed away because of an accident.
Sitting in another room, Laura cried silently when she heard these words, why not me. I can understand the pain of the neglected child who has two children in the family, and that Anne is also silently suffering the pain of losing her sister at the same time.
Or, Annie's emotions are more complicated. After all, his father still remembers his sister Laura, he still has spiritual sustenance, and he is waiting for Laura to see her.
The contrast here is very strong. Does Anthony have no love for his daughter Anne? Can I analyze the love of a person with Alzheimer's disease for others? I'm skeptical about this, but my love for Anne for her father is certain and certain. Even if she later went to Paris for a new life, she did everything she could do to take care of her father. It can be seen that Anne and her ex-husband divorced because of Anthony's constant interruption.
We all say that the love of parents for their children is selfless. Now I often suspect this. Instead, it is the children, such as Annie, who take care of their father in every possible way, and they can even see the love they have for their parents.
So, while watching the movie, I asked myself: How does love come about? I don't ask what love is, because everyone is not a fool. Everyone can perceive the moment of being loved, but it is precisely the thing that "love" is the most difficult to produce, because so few people experience it.
At that time, I was sitting next to my ex. I knew he didn't love me anymore. I remembered that I was struggling while traveling a few months ago. I wondered: Why doesn't he love me? How can I make him love me?
Following the movie, I burst into tears, I cried for Anthony’s old hard life, I cried silently for Anne’s nowhere to tell, I also cried for the fact that I couldn’t love it and saw the truth, he was sitting next to me, But he doesn't love me, life is ridiculously ironic, and most of the time.
Following the movie, I thought that he loves me again. It is easier said than done. He doesn't even know how to love himself. Is he the one who is wrong? No, I can only accept that the world is wrong. I don't blame him, but I want to let go.
After the movie ended, I still couldn't stop crying. He asked me what was wrong, and I said softly, nothing, just aftertaste. Then I thought, this man, there is a high probability that we will never see each other again. The vows that I used to have become unrestrained (self-comfort) that I have forgotten about the world. I always feel that I am still embarrassed when I lose my lover’s identity. Some people come and go, leaving their marks. As time goes by, the marks become more and more. The more and more blurred, is life not a process of getting Alzheimer's disease?
I cried more fiercely, not only for the romance that was about to die at that time, but also for the people who came and went in my life. Let me just walk like this and cry presumptuously. I thought in my heart, if others use strange Looking at me, I can comfort myself, I just watched the movie.
Anthony cried to find his mother at the end. Where did we come from and where we are going back after all. He is old and has Alzheimer's. It must be more than me as an audience. Forgive him for his troubles, his uncertainties.
What about me, I'm neither young nor old enough, I said I'm looking for my mother, will life take care of me? Life is a process of constantly falling leaves. New leaves and dead leaves have a place and a place to return. I told myself that it is just when it is lush and green. I will try my best to learn true love and meet the real Love it.
