I actually saw this movie after reading the reviews. So I actually watched this film twice? I saw it a long time ago, the timeline may be a little confusing
The story takes place in an ordinary family, Alice is a university professor, the male protagonist is the boss, and the two have three children each. The eldest daughter, the second son, and the youngest daughter.
Alice returned to university to start her speech after playing in the car after dinner to find letters to form words
The heroine didn't take this seriously. The next day, Alice suddenly forgot her direction while running in the morning. She walked slowly when she saw the ice cream she liked, and then she relaxed and went to visit. After having a meal together, the hostess hoped that the youngest daughter could give up the theater to find a serious job, and the two broke up unhappily.
At Christmas, Alice starts to prepare dinner, memorizing words quickly as she cooks. The whole family came back, the eldest son brought back his girlfriend, and Alice continued to work after asking her name
When everything was almost the same, Alice showed up at the table with the biscuits in the bowl and asked her girlfriend's name again, but she obviously didn't remember asking her name before.
After everyone put down the dishes, Alice announced something.
"I'm very sorry to tell you that I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's after seeing a doctor. It's a genetic disease, so sorry kids."
Everyone was shocked. In their opinion, how could Alice, who has a successful career and caring for her children, be entangled by this disease.
And the father said
"This is a familial genetic disease, characterized by gradually forgetting your past. After comparing, we confirmed that it was inherited by your grandfather."
The second son left the table very unhappy, and everyone left the table in an instant.
Alice did not give up on herself, she continued her previous life, running in the morning, teaching, and preparing meals for her family.
But after taking the class again, she found that she had forgotten the class she was going to teach. She looked at the courseware with a blank face. Finally, the school let her take a break, and her class would be taken over by other teachers.
She began to forget things more and more. The once confident and beautiful woman became unconfident, her pace was slow, and she often couldn't find her way. While the male protagonist took care of her, he let other children come to see her more.
While Alice was walking down the road, the eldest daughter called to say that she might also have the disease. The good news is that the child can be medically checked for the possibility of hereditary. After Alice hung up the phone, her eyes were particularly sad, and her heart resonated.
Later, she read her daughter's diary, and the two had a big fight. The next day, Alice asked us what happened? The little girl replied that nothing happened.
The daughter invited the whole family to watch her theater performance and contributed her wonderful performances. Alice was moved. She did not remember that she did not support her daughter's dream, but supported her. Alzheimer's affected her too much.
In the end, the male protagonist got a better job, which also showed that he could no longer take care of Alice. When the younger daughter knocked on the door, he hugged her daughter and cried and said sorry. But he still left. The last last little daughter read Alice's favorite book. The story ends.
Throughout the film, Alice went from a successful career model to a patient who needs to be looked after, showing us the cruelty of Alzheimer's disease and the warmth of family......
