Incredibly touching. Hopkins deserves that oscar. A very sad, very realistic, touching story that gives you a look to a troubled aging mind. If you ever had a person with dimentia in your family this film is definitely gonna touch you and stick with you. Anthony Hopkins is amazing and there is no way you don't feel sympathetic to his character. At the end of the film you just want to give the old boy a hug. Since we can't give him a hug, please give him the oscar.
