Film: Thanmathra
Director:
Blessy
He asked the name of his daughters and it was answered. He
asked it again and was answered again. This went for 1 hour and then the person
asking answering the question was tired.
He started crying without any reason and started abusing
people for no reason.
He forgot places,people ,directions,conversations,important
events which happened in his life and ultimately himself.
The person whom I referring, was the grandfather of my
friend Aniket. An Alzheimer patient in his late 70’s.
The character in the movie (Ramesan Nair)‘Thanmathra’ shows
same kind of symptons.He misplaces a very important office file at his home,
inside the refrigerator. Forgets whether he had shaved in the morning. Loses
his sense of time and place. He gradually loses his memory and starts behaving
as a child.Technically speaking, Alzheimer’s disease usually develop slowly and
gradually worsen over time, progressing from mild forgetfulness to widespread
brain impairment. Chemical and structural changes in the brain slowly destroy
the ability to create, remember, learn, reason, and relate to others. As
critical cells die, drastic personality loss occurs and body systems fail.
Whenever an individual’s body is affected by such serious ailments,
then at that time he is not the only sufferer. His family too has to suffer
along with the patient. It was not just the grandfather of my friend who was
suffering during his illness but the entire family. The movie successfully portrays
that piece of the story.Life becomes very stressful for Ramesan’s wife – Lekha and
his children.
The tragic end of Ramesan makes you feel sad and depressed at
the end of the movie.’Thanmathra’ a must watch for serious movie lovers.
