This is clearly a bias. . .
Let's get down to business. I watched the second half of this movie with tears in my eyes. I didn't know I was crying, but the saltiness in my mouth reminded me.
When Alice is trying to remember something, when she sets up questions on her phone, when she speaks, when she can't find a bathroom, she is so tenacious, but in front of Alzheimer's So powerless. Moreover, she is also under tremendous pressure, a daughter who is trying to conceive, and the daughter also comes from her inheritance. The worst moment for a mother is knowing that her tragedy will be repeated for her daughter. When she found the pills according to the video instructions from a year ago, I thought it was a relief, but she finally lost her last chance to leave with dignity.
This is the most humiliating disease. She is terminally ill but very sober. She is still so sensitive and smart, but she can't remember what happened 3 seconds ago. You can clearly know that you are powerless to change, but you can't even die with dignity.
At the end of the film, Alice utters the word Love in the company of Lydia. The movie ends. Yes, the director couldn't shoot it either. Maybe she'll have to be sent to a nursing home, do nothing with nurses, and eventually die of exhaustion, or go on to live 30 years without recognizing her daughter and her husband. The director cannot afford such a tragedy. So far so good.
