The Father
wow. it’s been a long time since i’ve watched a movie where i’ve been completely and utterly mesmerised. this film is a fucking mind fuck tho bro like holy shit, but not inception type of mind fuck, it hits u more deeply than that because, unlike inception, everything you see is very, extremely real in this film. i think what makes this so incredible and moving is the fact that you see the world through the eyes of someone affected by alzheimer’s, in this case anthony, and this is what i find so impressive is that it was a fully immersive experience in which i now truly understand what it feels like for someone who’s suffering from this disease to actually live with it. it’s so touching because, and i can personally relate to this, anthony would freak out as his mind played tricks on him, and i’m kind of insane in the sense that if something out of the ordinary occurs, i’m always second guessing myself and am EXTREMELY sceptical. i get scared easily when i’m not familiarised with something. it is truly horrible for someone with alzheimer’s, i mean the depiction of it portrayed in this film makes me think that these people seriously have zero breaks. it must be so tiring. i truly sympathise. okay anyway i really have no words for this film, i’m actually speechless. this made me cry lol and it was the type that ached my heart because unlike other films, this is something that could actually happen to me (as in myself when i’m older or a family member, friend…). you know like it’s not completely improbable which makes it even scarier and so much more real. literally 10/10 i will worship this film forever like bro.
