The Father (2020) - Movie Review 🎦👍

source

The film tells us the story of Anthony, an advanced old man who is taking care of his daughter Anne, the problem is that Anne must go to Paris where a new life began with her partner. The problem is that Anthony can not stay alone and that is why Anne must take care of leaving Anthony in the hands of a caregiver before leaving, which is a serious problem because Anthony does not get along with the caregivers. However, it does not happen long for the film to become strange.

We realize that Anthony has Alzheimer's, a progressive disease that affects the memory, in addition, considering that the film is counted from the point of view of two people: Anthony and to a lesser extent, but even important is that of Anne.

This film sheds us to a person's mind with Alzheimer, a world where things seem to have no sense or change constantly and this is what the special movie does, we do not understand anything, memories, The situations and faces are mixed in a way that does not make sense. In the end they give us clues to understand the plot and what happened at all that time.

On the other hand, the film shows us the difficult relationship between Anne and her father and it is not because they take evil, but because of her's illness of her sometimes becomes complicated or in itself. This part is pretty nostalgic because my grandmother has a mild Alzheimer, but it is stubborn at times, so, Anne's character can be understood at all times because Anthony says some other comment that despite we know That is not your fault, it is difficult not to feel bad before those comments.

Anthony is shown as a man capable of taking care of himself and at first that seems, but his dementia continues to advance to the degree of being unable to dress up his own account. On the other hand, surrounding changes in pretty notorious house, but we do not realize or at least when I saw it for the second time I could see that the house changed completely and it is not because I did not pay attention, it is what the Movie wanted to achieve and although the film gives us clues of what happens in reality, it is only at the end that we can understand everything.

I think many despairs us when we see a very confusing movie and we can not understand it, where it is hard for us to distinguish characters, understand what they are doing, among other things, here the same thing happens to us and Anthony, where we can not put in Order ideas and not know that it is real and that it is imaginary.

The film was directed by Florian Zeller which is based on his own play of the same name. Zeller admitted to being a big fan of Anthony and from the beginning he wanted him to be the protagonist, not to accept the role, Zeller would make the film in France, but luckily it was not like that. He even used some things from the real life of Anthony to make the film, as the real birth date of him, the name of him and the favorite song of him.

The film meant a lot for me, maybe many are afraid after seeing her because she talks about a nightmare that can happen to anyone. Realizing that happiness, tranquility and ourselves are not eternal is one of the saddest moments in our lives, although we want to avoid it, we are all victims of time.

That's why I would like to invite you to see the movie, enter the mind of a man who lost everything and that he does not even realize that, we will be lost and that you can not even be sure in the place where you are, where you Last is confusing and the rose of the people who love so much change so much, that you can not know how they were.

Anthony's life is quite painful, where something different can happen every day, where you can even invent your past and it makes you an amazing person, but then you expect very bad days where your family become your enemies, where It does not hurt to say horrible things. One day he loves you and you are the last hope of him, but the next he wants your death to stay with your things. Also, realizing that your things do not belong to you and you will never be before.

Watching, The Father You submerge on a trip to the mental decadence where time does not exist and space do not exist and you stay trapped in what you used to be, where you are your greatest enemy, but at the same time you are the person who believes trust , where you can be repulso a day and the next person's love, but all this is a new case of living where time is not our enemy nor is our friend, time passes and we do not care, but Time can be very cruel with us.

The Father can be a reflection, but also a warning, where we must enjoy our lives before this happens, I know that it does not happen to everyone, but we do not know if we will think of this.
