This looks extraordinarily good. A very difficult life experience faced by many.

[@giorgioguerra5320]

At the same time, there is something more. I don't know, I think that it could be a crime story, maybe the daughter is trying to make him fool. However, that's impossible to understand by the trailer, it's only a sixth sense

[@nitwitt50]

Michael Fox I agree it see very, very heartbreaking and hard.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@giorgioguerra5320 It's not a ''sixth sense'' lmao, it's what the trailer wants you to think - to doubt whether it's history of illness through his eyes or a crime story. That was precisely their intention with this trailer, not some nonsense about ''sixth sense'')))))

seemed to me they are trying to trick him into thinking he has dementia and something funny actually is going on maybe they want him to die for money.

It's a massively accurate picture of Dementia. My mum is an expert in Dementia care and has experienced a good 30+ years of it. She even said how accurate it is

I do like the idea that this trailer doesn't give you everything. Yes, it looks like it is a family drama about a man going through dementia/Alzheimer's.. but there are slight pulls there that it may be someone is trying to MAKE him think he is going crazy.

[@FiveSigma72]

I doubt it, given the subject matter, it would be very crass to make into something with a gimmicky twist. I think it's just attempting to show it from the perspective of the person who is ill, as well as the family impact of the illness.

[@sarahbrown1881]

I wonder what Sir Toni would say??!! Just go with it; it is what it is. Don't over analyze the magic of life. But l like to go deeper. It's a fascinating issue and top; cruel and relentless to family members and loved ones; it's like the person's gone off and playing another role!! Everyone has to learn or try to deal with the eroding of ego personality and human identity in relation to linear time and it's reality. Has the consciousness moved more into or out of the dream state of their reality??!! Has consciousness removed itself from localised reality? I guess it's a different level of soul expression. One must feel more hopeless and helpless? I wonder how Toni felt in playing this part??!!! Anger, confusion, betrayal of life in general. Such a powerful moment of creation. This is going to be an epic powerful movie of emotional proportions. Confronting for many touched with such heartache and hopelessness. Thanku to all the actors and first time director of this one. Outstanding.

[@JustCallMeBo1]

*My theory: the daughter is messing with her father, replacing herself with a younger version at certain times. Bringing people in that he's never met but she insists he knows them. She could be telling him one thing then denying it the next day and in front of others, i.e. the doctor. If she repeats this enough times and gets those around her to do the same, she could convince him he's going mental. Laura, an outside perspective will either serve to assure him he's not going crazy and thwarts the daughter's plans, is hired by the daughter to make him believe he is crazy, OR - and this would be a good twist - at first pretends to be on his side, knowing very well he's of sound mind, but at the end double crosses him and sides with the daugher, her employer.* *Can't wait to see this and find out if any of my theories are correct!*

Sorry to ask; is this normal then. My dad was diagnosed about 4 or 5 years ago. He's started saying we ignore him or treat him like a child. It's never at a time when anyone is being high handed, there are instances where we just have to be. Is it a phase of dementia? I'm not sure where to ask questions, there are soo many charities and little organisations. I don't think I'm doing enough. I know I'm not.

[@sylviaallen270]

@@DeborahWalkerXOXO yes, it is a normal phase of dementia. Everyone I've known who had dementia went through this. It often turns into a hostile paranoia as time passes. That's a phase too--eventually they get past the paranoia stage but it can get pretty brutal while it's going on. Caring for someone with dementia is not easy! It is best not to ever argue with the person about what's real. Not defend yourself from their accusations, not tell them that isn't true, that isn't what's happening. Because it's not about you at all. There is an emotional truth in the crazy version of reality they're perceiving. Open ears and heart, and listen listen listen. Try to hear the emotional truth they're expressing in the craziness, and speak to that. It's an opportunity to be the adult in the room, to be generous and kind to someone who is lost and scared.

Our relationship has always been strained - since I became a tween really - sometimes it feels like a blessing. He's much more caring, kind, helpful, less critical, more peaceful. But I don't live with him so I don't really see the nasty side of the disease often. I knew it was affecting him when he stopped criticising me. Then he started to trust my judgement! Well.
