THE FATHER : Who exactly am I?

You were always on my mind and I will always love you,daddy…

This film review may be the most difficult that I’ve ever written.A little over a month ago,my life and my mind changed and they are absolutely empty.It is sad but,society forces me to continue.Yet,my sadness is in the same place as it was this last horrible 16th of April.

There is not doubt that my life will never be the same.My father taught me many things,but one of them is that you shouldn’t be worried about future problems.You should be worried and try to solve them when they will happen.My father was my friend,my ‘buddy’ (as he used to call me),my mentor,my main support system,but overall my dear dad.

I promise that I’m going to do the best every day although every single day I think life is less beautiful.I know you are close to me and you want that me to be happy.I will always love you,daddy…

This review is not exactly my example,but it includes the deeply of father’s love.

The Father is a drama film directed by Florian Zeller.In 2020,when this film was released had a strong criticism due to its controversial topic.Yet,these opinions finally disappear and end up to be acclaimed by critics.As a result,The father received six nominations at the 93rd Academy Awards.There,Antony Hopkins was the oldest actor to win this award with 93 years old,besides the films achieved the best adapted screenplay.As a final curiosty,Florian Zeller included the song ‘The Pearl Fisher’ because Hopkins love this one.

Anne (Olivia Colman) visits his father (Anthony Hopkins),who suffer dementia,to spend time with him.Yet,this time his visit involves that she is thinking to move out another city.The relationship is difficult between them.Anny refused his career and his personal life to take care of his father.In his struggle to achieve the goal,Anne hires many caretakers to take care him but anyone is not useful to Anthony.On the other hand,there is not doubt that the Anthony’s illness is not easy,and it generates the doubts of his daughter's love.

The Father is an overwhelmingly devastating depiction of the painfully progressive disease taht is dementia.Anthony Hopkins delivers a performance.One of the best movies I’ve seem in the last couple of years.

.. I am worried. It's very worrying. I mean... Losing all my things, everyone's just helping themselves, and... If this goes on much longer, um, I'll be stark naked. And, um, I... I won't be able to tell what time it is.
