Horror is time

Anthony always tried to show that he was in control of everything, but more and more frequently exposed his inner doubts about himself, his dependence on his eldest daughter, self-blame, the trembling "I feel as if I'" m losing all my leaves...the branches and the wind and the rain" shows the fear of the dying years vividly; and at the end of the play, the old man's emotions collapsed, crying to find his mother, which can be called a "great performance" Undoubtedly, the audience's attention is forced from dismantling the narrative maze and back to the core of perception and emotion. The complete catharsis of that emotion makes us stare at the dark corridor in the apartment again, like a time tunnel, where it came from. , is the way back, but also the end. At this moment, who is crying somewhere in the world, crying in the world for no reason, crying for me. At this moment, someone is laughing somewhere in the night, laughing in the night for no reason, laughing at me. At this moment, who is walking somewhere in the world, walking in the world for no reason, to me. At this moment, someone who died somewhere in the world, died in the world for no reason, looked at me. - Rilke

    Unnecessary suspense. What the camera lets us see is what we see, and there is no secret. The sentimental heartbreaks we make up our minds are what we endow the film with, not the film.

    Seeing the world from the perspective of Alzheimer's disease for the first time, from where and what time to who I am, my brain is as mutilated and confused as a mosaic. The whole world has become precarious, leaving only distorted time, chaotic space, and endless hesitation.
