To show the unconventional stages of their relationship, I will discuss several turning point scenes in the movie that bring the pair closer together. The couple also face several relationship challenges throughout the movie that threaten to break the pair apart.…

With Dementia, certain thoughts and memories creep in and out of the mind, sporadically. Many of these thoughts are of what happened years ago when they were a child, and not of current experiences. “Eventually, the sufferer fails to recognise even loved ones,” was a claim stated by Leadbeater to express the power of the disease and how this disease diminishes the memory of important relationships (Leadbeater 2). Naturally, the idea of relationships and creating new ones is gone and therefore, so is the capability to establish other ideas. Leadbeater expands on this by claiming the following statement, “A memory-based identity goes, and with that goes everything we value about the idea of independence and self-fulfilment” (Leadbeater 25).…

In the climactic scene were the White female Lucy extends her hand to touch the finger of the living Lucy primate in a shot that reviews Michelangelo's 'Formation of Adam' subtle element from the roof of the Sistine Chapel- such a minute holds in suspension the topic of racial cosmology even as it highlights the distinctions in skin appearance between the lily-white on-screen character Scarlett Johansson as Lucy and the vigorously made up, digitized and dull composition of the Lucy primate.
