GO SEE IT!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2004)

This movie is by far the best I've seen all year. Maybe because I finally had a good cry, or maybe it's because it paralleled real-life situations. I worked as a C.N.A. and saw many elderly residents who suffered from Alzheimers and dementia. One couple even had to be separated. The husband had dementia and had to be moved to a nursing home. He often asked about his wife. He was very confused. These diseases are horrible, not only for the afflicted, but also for their loved ones. This movie was an excellent portrayal of what sometimes happens to the elderly. It also showed their lives in happier times, such as fun-loving, youths. I thought it was a great movie. But be warned, you might actually be moved to tears. Go see it!
