Very disappointing...
Undescribable Perfection
That was an excellent one.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is a film about how unfair life can be. A once happy marriage, both spouses with successful careers, looking forward to grandchildren, dissolves into a single focus, Alice's medical condition. Alice Howland (Julieanne Moore), is a linguistics professor at Columbia University and her husband a physician, is being sought after by the Minnesota Mayo Clinic.Alice knows something is wrong, others find her behavior odd or annoying, but no one would have guessed at age 50 her seeming absentmindedness is early onset Alzeheimers. Understandably, Alice attempts to keep her life as it once was. When her work performance slips she explains she has Alzheimers and plans to keep working. She is informed by the University that is not possible.Alice's husband is not the loving, caring husband you'd hope he'd be. He becomes annoyed and looks for opportunities to be away or at work. Two of her three children decided to be tested for early on set familial Alzheimer's disease. It does not have a happy ending, but with 10,000 people turning 65 everyday you might want to see this one in case this becomes your family's story.
Two reasons, pushed me to watch the movie - Incomplete achievement "Highlights 2015 Oscars", and, in fact, the very same Oscar for the main female role, which went to Julianne Moore.Movies about bodily ailments are always incredibly piercing and watch them simply impossible. Sometimes awareness of the problem prevails over the artistic value of the tape and hides all the shortcomings. "Still Alice" - оne of these and tells us the story of very smart woman who was struck by Alzheimer's disease.The game of actors, led by Julianne Moore, is quite worthy of attention. I must admit, her heroine came out theatrical-exemplary. From manners and movement, to extinction, blunt points of view, gray eyes and phlegmatic mood.It would be very interesting to see how the personality is destroyed by the deposition of amyloid in the brain, but instead we were given a tape with mediocre dialogs, not remembered. The film is full of a lot of secondary moments, which could be abandoned, making the narrative less tractable. So, the action on the screen and the dialogues are realistic, there is no doubt that everything that happens, but the work of art itself turned out to be boring and uninteresting. Psychologically the film is much weaker than others about people with disabilities.As a result, the film is interesting, although not the best. It is quite suitable for viewing alone or with loved ones.
From Beginning till end, this movie broke my heart.It's like a precipitous slope of depression, getting worse and worse as the film progresses. The happy moments are few, and the real moments are there through the majority of the film. Kristen Stewart does better ads a supporting actress than a lead in my opinion. Julianne Moore was fabulous as Alice, and there is one scene in particular toward the end that the two share that pretty much defines the film. Excellent, But heart breaking. Be emotionally prepared to be sad.
a film about a terrible disease. or about family. or about the lost of sense. or about love and courage and darkness and support. or about memories. or life. it is a film who reminds one of the most painful episodes of my life. and this is the motif for who Still Alice was not the best choice for see in my case. first because to live near a relative suffering by Alzheimer is not a pink memory. then, because it is not easy to accept than a movie could present in realistic manner a case. but this film is an admirable portrait of the states of a lost woman in middle of the fears to be the other. the gestures, the words, the panic, the absence are all present. nothing missing. and the final impression is than only Juliane Moore could be Alice. than only Alec Baldwin could be the patient husband. and, sure, the surprise, not unpredictable but beautiful is Kristen Steward. short, a real delicate theme and a splendid manner to present it.
