Under the interpretation of film critics and media people, the film gradually began to attract more and more attention.
The screening will start soon.
And the reputation of the movie also exploded!
"I came to watch the movie after reading Bierce's interpretation. You gradually forget about it, and I gradually become disappointed. In the end, I get used to it, and in the end we part ways."
"Confusing cause and effect, the reverse crossover narrative is more eye-catching. You never know who will appear next second... All dialogues and characters can be true or false, and there is no way to escape the truth. Appeared from the perspective of the male protagonist
Vision, hearing, time, dreams, and fantasy symptoms form the special narrative carrier of this film. In the past, when we watched films with this theme, we would think of our grandparents and parents, but this film will make people think of ourselves. "My leaves have fallen off."
The wind and rain wrapped my leaves, and I had nowhere to sleep." At the end, the camera panned to the lush green leaves outside the window, and my emotions suddenly solidified, leaving me naked."
"A truly immersive movie that takes a trip through the timeline of an Alzheimer's patient. The sophisticated maze weaved with everyday life is truly an enviable script. It is deep yet light, chic yet elegant!"
"Starting from the perspective of a father suffering from Alzheimer's disease, the audience is allowed to experience his entire mental journey, the chaotic timeline, overlapping characters and time and space. The sense of substitution is very strong, and the audience is deeply immersed in the protagonist's emotions.
My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and she was exactly the same in the last few years. She couldn't remember things, recognized the wrong people, often talked about things from her youth, cried like a child, and lost her temper. As a descendant, she was also very helpless and sad."
Etc., etc.
As the number of people watching the movie increases, there are more and more relevant interpretations.
The famous film critic Bilson wrote on social platforms:
"Everyone living in this world has two most instinctive needs: one is a sense of existence, and the other is security.
The so-called sense of existence, from leaving a descendant to leaving a spirit, from being needed daily to being seen on social media. What does each of us need to let ourselves know that 'I' really exist in this world?
.
And a sense of security is not only the absence of war and attacks, but also a sense of control in the face of an uncertain world. It makes us believe that the world can be understood.
Some people say that this movie looks like a thriller. In fact, this is not wrong, because for Anthony, every day after he suffered from Alzheimer's disease was like living in a world of horror.
The story of Anthony, the protagonist of the movie, is the process in which the belief in existing as an independent person in the world is slowly destroyed.
The plot begins with a thrilling and suspenseful opening: a strange man suddenly appears in the apartment. He sits on your sofa and reads the newspaper. He tells you that he is your daughter's husband who has been married for ten years. This is not your apartment, but his house.
After a while, a strange woman appeared again. She said it was her, your daughter Annie, who had just returned from buying your favorite chicken downstairs. She noticed that you were a little worried and asked you patiently and gently what happened?
You choose to believe her and talk to her. But she tells you that she has been divorced for five years, and she didn’t have any chicken or a man just now. When you go into the kitchen and take a look, it seems that this is the case.
If this story happens to you, aren't you afraid?
Yes, the world became strange to Anthony. Every time he returned to the room in silence, he opened the curtains and looked out at the street scene he had seen for more than thirty years to confirm whether the world was still the same as he was familiar with.
Gradually, he seemed to realize that something was wrong. He began to become cautious and no longer blamed the strange man who suddenly appeared. Instead, he quietly asked his daughter, are there any guests in our house today?
The watch is very, very important to him. He is obsessed with looking for it. It is not only a confirmation of what time it is, but also a familiar tool for him to understand the world. He tries hard to spend this time like the difficulties he has successfully overcome in the past, but
This time, all his past life experiences seemed to have failed. Yes, the clock pointed to eight o'clock now, he was still wearing pajamas, and the sun was shining outside the window, but it was not eight o'clock in the morning, it was already night.
The movie mentions Anthony's obsession with watches many times, because at this time, he can only determine the time through the watch. Without a watch, he can't tell the difference between day and night. This is the only sense of security he can find.
At the end of the film, when Anthony was not even sure of his own name, when he felt helpless again and hoped that his mother would take him home, he finally became an easy-to-take care of old man who could only say yes.
I felt very, very sad for a moment. We spend so much time and energy trying to get closer to what we want to be, and finally become a person who has the right to say no. In the end, we don’t even have the freedom to decide when to change clothes. Yes,
The sun is just right and the scenery is beautiful, but I just don’t want to go out, can’t I?
So we can ask ourselves, if I were that old man, is there anything I can do better?
Write the time and records accurately in each day's newspaper?
Sketch everyone you meet?
Even if I could do all of this... But it's actually unlikely. Alzheimer's disease is not just a memory problem, but also includes cognitive dissonance, distance judgment, inaccurate judgment of depth, and problems with visual space.
Even if my painting skills are not deformed, the world in my paintings may not be objective. The question is, when should I start? If all that is left in life is non-stop recording, is it really necessary to continue? Unfortunately, in this situation
Under such circumstances, it seems that euthanasia can no longer serve as an insurance measure.
The original intention of euthanasia is that people can choose to leave with dignity. The most important thing is personal will. But in this case, how to determine this personal will? Did I decide to euthanasia after being diagnosed with the disease, or did I suddenly decide before the injection?
The me who wakes up and says No?
The best preparation plan for this matter at present: eat, exercise, work, socialize, live seriously, and pay attention to screening. If I am unfortunate enough to suffer from the disease in the future and my concept of death has not changed, I will choose to implement it when the diagnosis is early.
Euthanasia. Complete the work at hand, hand over or call it a day, take no chances, and die calmly. But can I really be calm at that time? I don’t know.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What if I were that daughter?
When the husband said in front of his father that he was sick and wanted to send him to a nursing home; when he spoke cruelly to the old father, beat him, and accused him of ruining his daughter's life. Angry and unbelievable, things had already happened.
Why do you still want to add to the chaos of emotions like this? Will you remember that protecting you is his sacred commitment to marriage that he has always practiced. However, the boundaries of this "protection" are different in every relationship. Accusing/hurting me
Caring about people is not an option I can accept.
This story shows us a world as they see it, without giving us any solutions. I like stories like this that give you a chance to understand and think about your answers.”
The immersive experience is not unfamiliar to many people.
It is immersed in the body of an old man with Alzheimer's disease. Seeing the world from his perspective is so incredible.
"Outside the window, the children were playing, and the father looked out the window with blurred eyes.
"I want mommy", dad cried like a child.
"I feel like all my leaves have fallen off, as well as branches, wind and rain!"
Dad was looking for his watch again. The watch was found, but the time was lost. The plot of the film "Father Trapped in Time" has simple characters but obscure expressions. It is not in chronological order. It is like a stream of consciousness novel.
Fragmented pictures are presented to the audience, telling an ordinary but meaningful story from the perspective of father Anthony. From the opening of the film when Anne goes to visit her father in the apartment to the end of the film when her father opens the bedroom door and sees the nurse Catherine, the plot of the film all comes from his father
The brain is a mixture of past, present and imagination.
The narrative method of the film is very immersive. The audience is watching other people's stories and can't help but integrate themselves into them. We are both people watching the scenery and also in the scenery. Who is watching us?
"Time" is an important metaphor in the film, just as the father is looking for a watch at the beginning of the film. The father's time is confused and he cannot distinguish between the real world and the imaginary world. The father is confused in time and lives in the real world to take care of his father's daughter.
I am also confused, watching the two worlds constantly alternating, and the superimposed audience is also confused. The father does not know who he is and where he is; the daughter is sad, helpless, and powerless because of her father's strange behavior due to illness; the audience sees the old man.
The sadness of passing away is for my parents, relatives, and myself who are often lost in the desert of time, not knowing where I am or where I am going.
In the real world, a father suffering from Alzheimer's disease always forgets where he puts his watch, thinking that the carer has stolen it. His daughter helps him find it, and then tells him that he and her boyfriend Paul are leaving London for France. She is sending her father to France.
The nursing home still changed caregivers again. My daughter was hesitant and my father was confused.
The camera kept switching, and there were only three scenes in the film. One was the father's own home, one was his daughter's home, and the last one was a nursing home. The father confused these three places. He clearly lived in his daughter's home, thinking it was his own home, and mistakenly considered the nursing home
Treat it as your own home. Three different colors are used in these three places, from warm colors to cold colors and back to the blue of the nursing home.
Anthony's youngest daughter died unexpectedly, and only his eldest daughter Anne took care of her. Anne always wore a blue dress, which seemed to symbolize the eldest daughter's reason and calmness. Anne took good care of her father and took her father, who could not take care of himself, into her home.
But he thought that his daughter wanted to send him to a nursing home to occupy his house. In the chaotic memory, the father saw his daughter's ex-husband and thought he was still living in his home. He could not find his watch and was trapped in time again. He
I saw my ex-son-in-law wearing a watch, thought it was his, and asked eagerly. This is a typical symptom of Alzheimer's disease, including memory loss, distrust of others, and suspicion of others.
In the same scene, the father asked his former son-in-law where his daughter Anne had gone. The son-in-law said that he had gone shopping. When the father saw his daughter again, the short-haired Anne had turned into a woman with long hair. This was not his daughter, how could he be in his own house?
At home? The father was confused again. In fact, it was a nurse in a nursing home, and the daughter and son-in-law had been divorced for many years. The daughter was in the kitchen, and the father was in the living room with his ex-son-in-law. The son-in-law said, your behavior is annoying, and you can’t help yourself anymore.
Take care of yourself, you are living in Anne's house now. The father panicked, and soon there was a scene of his son-in-law slapping him. The father covered his face and cried, and his daughter came over after asking, but the son-in-law disappeared. The seemingly chaotic scene was confusing at first.
Fog, especially that puzzling scene.
Daughter Anne obviously takes good care of her father, but there is a scene where she strangles her father's neck while he is sleeping, as if she is going to kill him, until it suddenly dawns on her at the end of the film. I secretly believe that this is her father's delusion of being murdered, and it is also the moment in her daughter's heart.
Reaction. From the father's perspective, he may have dreamed that his daughter is harming her; from the daughter's perspective, it may also be a true manifestation of human nature. "There is no filial son in bed for a long time." We tend to sympathize with the weak and have no regard for the suffering of others.
People can relate to it.
Taking care of a patient is a long-term and arduous job. If the patient has a clear mind, he can still be grateful to the caregiver, which will make the caregiver warm and feel a sense of gain. However, for an Alzheimer's patient, the caregiver only
Even though she was giving silently, she was often misunderstood and wronged by patients. When Anne found out that her father could not recognize her, she cried sadly. Everything she had done was not rewarded at all, and she could only watch her father's illness become irreversible.
The situation becomes serious. Having such a momentary thought of strangling my father to death when I am physically and mentally exhausted and upset should be in line with real human nature.
The film also has some bright colors. Anne found a new caregiver, Laura, for her father. Her father liked Laura as soon as he saw her and thought she was like a little daughter. Laura's arrival gave the film a warm tone. Sunlight filled the room, adding to the furniture and room.
The people inside were covered with a layer of golden sand. The father wore a scarlet pajamas and danced tap dance in front of Laura. He smiled and said that his previous job was dancing. Anne said that you used to be an engineer.
He told his father's family background that many high-ranking intellectuals have suffered from this disease in their old age. They were once so smart and prosperous, but they feel even more sad.
The warmest scene is when Anthony wakes up occasionally, wipes the tears of his daughter Anne, and thanks her for taking care of her. The rare tenderness is fleeting. The father can no longer dress himself, and he cannot put on a sweater. The world
In their eyes, they are confused, and their loved ones have become strangers. They don’t know where they are or who they are.
The daughter decided to go to France with her boyfriend and sent her father to a nursing home. In the last scene, she returned to the real world. The father lived in a nursing home and the daughter went abroad. The nursing home was shrouded in blue, with blue walls, blue furnishings, and blue
Nurse uniform. Melancholy, quiet, serene, solemn.
Anthony looked out the window, where a little boy was playing among the big green trees. Life returned to its original state in a trance, with vitality and hope. His father looked out the window with misty eyes. Suddenly, his wrinkled face and silver-haired father cried.
, like a baby nestled in the nurse's arms, crying, "I want mommy." The nurse comforted him like a mother.
After a lifetime of swaying in the wind and rain, the branches and leaves fell off. My father returned to his mother's arms and crawled into her womb. There was the blue ocean, the calm water, and the warm tide. Listening to my mother's heartbeat, my father closed his eyes.
The melancholy blue indoors will eventually turn into the peaceful blue outside time and space, and life will return to its starting point. Branches and leaves will grow back, fluttering in the green wind, and growing in the sunset."
