Still Alice (2014) is a drama co-written and co-directed by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland about Alice Howland (Julianne Moore), a college professor, wife, and mother who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia.
Life Lesson:
Losing memories is not the same as losing yourself; you’re still you, an individual.
Movie Scene:
Lydia Howland (Kristen Stewart): “Nothing is lost forever. In this world, there’s a kind of painful progress, a longing for what we’ve left behind and dreaming ahead. At least I think that’s so.” That’s it. Hey, did you like that? What I just read, did you like it?
Alice: Hm. Yeah.
Lydia: And what, what was it about?
Alice: Love. Yeah. Love.
Lydia: Yeah, Mom. It was about love.
