This movie made me bored. Made me sad. Made me anxious. Made me startled. Made me laugh. Made me cry. Made me smile. Made me remember. Made me forget. Made me cry. Made me smile. Made me believe. Made me cry. I don’t know how I feel about this movie but the quotes are like candy to the soul. This movie to me was really upsetting because the main roles I got was of a woman who loved a man who was getting younger, and a man who loved a woman who was getting older. What would you do if you knew the one you loved was becoming a child? What would you do if you didn’t see the one you loved since he left and than he was all of a sudden a teenager? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t be with the one you loved till old age and die happily in eachothers arms? How sad, I thought. To watch the one you love deteriorate into a five year old who forgot your name, than a three year old who forget how to walk, than a one year old who forgot how to speak, and finally a few month old who looked at you and knew who you were than closed his little eyes and died in your arms… leaving you to be old alone and die alone. How sad, I thought. This movie was also happy because although he was different and he was alone, he lived a full life, and he had so much strength to do so. When he was a young boy, he looked like his grandfather and nobody understand why. He was alone. An abandoned old man who was only a baby, left on a doorstep for a wanting mother to love. His mother was dead, his father had run off and day in and day out he watched old people get taken away. Death visited often. He was loved dearly by his mother who took him in, he grew up.. in his own way. He boarded a ship and found another place to thrive, went to war and found love and so much love. He lived a life, a life only he could live. I don’t know how I feel about this movie. I wish he’d been saved, I wish he didn’t have to face it all alone. Maybe I feel empathy.
