After my baking yesterday I decided to relax and watch the film “War Horse” on our satellite TV, a very good film but it must have taken a good deal of retakes to get some of the scenes right with the horse.
Then I watched the film “The Iron Lady” about the rise to power and political career of Margaret Thatcher which is an exceptionally good film as it’s portrayed through the eyes and memory of Margret Thatcher within her Alzheimer’s which the well known actress (Whose name now eludes me) portrayed the role and the Dementia extremely well, I could feel Margaret Thatches confusions and bewilderment at the loss of her husband ‘Denise’ and then all her confusion and frustrations at trying to cope with simple days tasks… but one thing to my mind that does come over very clear in the film is that of Margret Thatcher being very much in denial of her illness…
As I said an extremely good film that I could relate to in many, many ways as I could see myself within my own Alzheimer’s through some of the scenes… it’s definitely a film that should be watched by people to better understand Dementia and how it can have an effect on people… I know for one thing in that it left me with an immense amount of mixed emotions as to my own condition.
