Socorro Robles it was a very informative, understanding of what happens to someone in first stages of alzheimers,I watch it when I was studying to become a nurse's aide so it impacted me ever since & have been looking for it so I can watch it again after all this time I can still remember almost everything about this movie.
zanainternational-53412 The best movie about Alzheimer's illness and how it affects the whole family. Joanne Woodward unforgettable role for which she received her Emmi's award.It is unfortunate how the "Still Alice" script is similar to this "Do You Remember Love" story, and as a movie, it is just a shadow of the impression, warmth, and humanity that was achieved in "Do You Remember Love".Sometime around 1990. I watched the movie on TV and learned about the name of the illness. My mom did not get a proper diagnosis for years even though the fist symptoms were showing up when she was only 52. If anyone knows how to obtain a copy of this movie, PLEASE, HELP! Thank you in advance. Zana
DonnaTN When this movie 1st came out Alzheimer's was not widely known about by the general public. It was the 1st time I ever heard about it. Thank Goodness I saw it! My mother came down with it less than 10 yrs after I 1st saw it, so I was prepared about knowing about it & recognized it in the early stages.I was her caregiver until she died some 10 yrs later. The movie was so sensitive & wonderfully portrayed! They had to 'rush' her deterioration because of time constraints of a 2 hour movie, but in real life it's much slower.But this movie was like giving me a road map to an unfamiliar and dark and scary place. It prepared me for what I had to face as my mother's caregiver.Later, my husband took care of his dad through it to the end, too. I'm glad we weren't "in the dark" when facing this incredibly horrible disease! This movie is a "must see" if a loved one is facing dementia! (Grab the tissue box! Such a touching performance!)
i-stuarthamilton The plot is maudlin, but the performance by Ms Woodward is the best *ever* performance of someone acting as mentally ill. I spent a couple of years of my professional life observing patients with dementia as they sank further into mental oblivion and Ms Woodward was so convincing I found myself at several points reaching for a note pad to make case notes. The classic mistake often made by actors portraying people with dementia is either to look vacant or act forgetful. Both are part of what's required, of course, but there is a great deal of subtlety required as well and Ms Woodward is more than up to the task. It's not the happiest movie you'll ever see, but the failure to release this gem on DVD while a plethora of lesser drivel gets released on a daily basis is a great pity.
