"The Father"--Calming And Warming Time

Norwood 2022-06-21 10:01:17

The film itself is relatively calm, with basically no plot, just from the first perspective of an Alzheimer's patient to tell the chaotic fragments of his memory and the confusion and pain he feels because of it. The actor's acting is really good.

At the end of the film, the old man cried on the shoulder of the nurse, feeling strange and tormented by the things around him. Sometimes I think that since the recognition, especially now, although more and more abundant knowledge and products have given us more and more abundant and interesting thinking space, the trivialities brought by countless complicated and messy social affairs, disciplines and modern lifestyles, stress and anxiety also invisibly increase the burden on our memory and thinking, making it relatively difficult to focus on something really interesting. Perhaps when the mind is overloaded, all memories begin to be confused, and people appear uncomfortable, trance-like, and morbid because of this. In fact, it’s good that you can’t remember or don’t want to remember some things that don’t need to be remembered. After all, some things are themselves constructed illusions, and the truth of life itself is itself a disorderly pain. But it is always difficult to avoid all kinds of pitfalls in life, so you can only feel and think with your heart, try to express, and try to have the opportunity to focus your energy on what you are interested in.

In addition, although the movie is not particularly brilliant, the light and straightforward presentation is not bad, and the color tone and color matching of the whole picture are also better.

    This time, not only the pain of empathy (instead of sympathy) for the suffering and torment of Alzheimer's patients, but also the shock of the filmmakers using this artistic method to create greatness. It turns out that the fragments and dilemmas of time exist not only in Nolan's brain-burning stories, but also in the minds of ordinary old people around them - that is no longer an interesting interpretation and analysis, but can never be escaped. Labyrinth hell.

    It is a horror movie from two perspectives. For the father, the world in front of him can’t tell whether it is true or false. The world that was built with great difficulty each time collapses the next time, and the self can no longer be confirmed; for the daughter In other words, the father who is "trapped in time" has gradually forgotten himself, seeing a loved one lost in the fog of consciousness, but powerless. For me, these are all terrifying emotions.
