The most impressive scene from the movie to me is Alice’s presentation in the Alzheimer’s Association Care Conference. To be honest, I used to think that I was familiar with this disease because I had seen Alzheimer’s disease patients before. My aunt’s mother in law had developed Alzheimer’s disease a few years ago. Along with the memory loss symptom, she started to develop some weird habits, such …show more content…
At college I had also taken lectures and reading online resources related to Alzheimer’s disease, now I realized that there weren’t any emotional component in the lectures or online resource. Using the word indifference to describe my attitude toward this disease might be an overstatement, but without hearing from the patient directly, it was not easy to understand his or her feeling especially when facing the deterioration of the disease. Alice’s words from the presentation that “I am not suffering, I am struggling to stay connected to who I once was” keep repeating again and again in my mind after watching the movie. I could hardly imagine how people get frustrated that they started to forget who they used to be.

I was impressed a lot not only by her courage but also by her achievements. Before her presentation, when a young lady introduced Alice to the audience, I get a summary of her life. She was successful both in her career and family. Though it was such a pity for her to discontinue her career at such a young age, I would still admire her highly productivity in her life. I can tell that Alice was talent and must have worked hard before fifty. I don’t know what my life will be in the next twenty years before I get fifty, but I hope I will not regret because I didn’t work hard and didn’t have enough contribution to the society. Sudden life change due to disease or accident can occur to anybody, the only difference is the probability. Good life habits such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and keeping a happy mood help decrease the likelihood of getting a disease. I know I am lazy and have procrastination habit, but after watching this movie, I have decided to change myself by taking exercise regularly and working more efficient. I definitely not expect I will get Alzheimer’s disease like Alice, but I also don’t want to wait to do the important things in life before it’s getting too
