the old man

Would I say this if I cried from beginning to end?

As a film with such a main theme, what moved me completely was the image of the helpless old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, staggering, and missing her husband.

From the old man who staggered to buy a pint of milk at the beginning, to the old man who always had hallucinations and confused memories, he couldn't relate to the image of the Iron Lady who was all-powerful, turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands into rain.
Maybe when people are old, they can’t talk about anything, only their own stubbornness is left to fight with their own body, their own spirit, and their own memories, refusing to admit their aging and memory loss, but unable to do anything, looking forward to Looking forward to her lover's return - even if he's only in hallucinations, expecting the children to visit her - even if they may not come once a year. . .

No matter how controversial she is in history, whether it's the famous Falklands naval battle, the secession of Northern Ireland, strikes, taxes, the euro issue, not to mention whether the outcome of these events is good or bad, (maybe now the UK will be grateful Her decision not to join the euro zone back then)
No matter what she has brought or changed for the UK and the world, she is a person who deserves admiration and admiration.
And in a male-dominated world, in the political world, her appearance, like Wu Zetian, may be a miracle. But how many people wear colored glasses just because of gender, how many people see her previous efforts, and the pain and sadness of every step?

But in any case, these struggles and compromises are history. Now there is only a helpless old man tortured by years and illnesses.

Time really takes everything away.

Finally, I would like to say that Meryl Streep's acting is really great. Whether it is tough and mean when he was prime minister when he was young, or helpless and sad when he is old, they are all well portrayed. Those lonely and helpless eyes and slightly trembling hands really remind me of my grandmother.

Finally, I wish this old man a long and healthy life.
