A few years ago, I went to the retirement home to see my grandmum.
"Who ... are you?"
My sister and I looked at each other with bitter laughs involuntarily. My grandmum remembers my sister who comes there sometimes, but seems to forget me who go back home town only once or twice a year.
This movie is depicted from the perspective of dementia patient. It's filled of a lot of sadness, but is also splendid.
If it's depicted from the perspective of a person who supports dementia patient, it's probably easier to empathize to him/her. I'm sure it's tough when a person who I love is getting to forget me gradually and becoming like a kid. I can imagine it a little.
Through the perspective of protagonist, he didn't realise that he got demented. He just feels that everyone says disconnected words. Something which he can't understand happanes. But he believes he saw someone for sure and listened to something even if anyone says that it's not true. But that's surely true for him. When he talked about things that he heard the day before, her daughter told him that she didn't say that on that day. Also, the next day, she fed up with that because she told that before. That's why it's so confusing. Everyone 's confused. Nobady's fault.
It is he, not anyone else, who suffers from dementia the most. I hope we can find the way to a cure for such a sad illnesses which suffers them and people who they love soon in the future.
