Still Alice (2014)



Still Alice Trailer

***Spoilers alert***

Alice is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. She knows that her conditions will deteriorate and she doesn't want to be a burden to her family. So she shoots herself a video with instructions watch it when she can no longer answers the questions she sets for herself. The video is actually an instruction to commit suicide.

This movie reminds me of Momento. When you know that you are going to lose your memory, you will prepare notes and even tatoos (LOL) to remind yourself of important things. How are we going to do it systematically? Or we will end up avenging the same revenge like the protagonist of Momento?

But setting instructions to future self to commit suicide is sad. Luckily, someone interrupts Alice and she forgots about the suicide instructions.
