I have. There are things that people tell me about my past I have no recollection of and can't believe I did. But when I remember, which I eventually do, it catches up to me despite if it is good or bad. This film explores dementia but makes it very relatable in such a specific way. When something really bad happens to me and I go to sleep, I wake up and forget it took place until I remember it and my life is once again a living nightmare. How do we cope with the things we have done and the things we will do? I would like to believe our mistakes don't define us, but they do.
This movie is profound. I honestly feel as if I lived this long just to see it. I can't believe these actors were and are still acting at such an extremely high level when this was filmed because Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau give the most compelling performances ever.
Look at yourself. Never forget the pain, the love and the choices you have made and inflicted on others. If we could only be so fortunate everyday to wake up and pick and choose the things we want to live with. That isn't how dementia works though. Speaking as someone who has had a very tough time dealing with the past and how it has affected the present and future, this is a movie you need to see. It's so much more than a Holocaust film because of the intensity about what it says about our past. I was taken out of my mind seeing this film. Give yourself perspective and find out not just how this film turns out, but also what you can remember. It was said in "Only the Brave", "What can you live with and what can you die without?" This film aptly answers that question. I am still trying to decide for myself.
