Alice watches her daughter Lydia in a play where Lydia and two other women are sitting on the stage. Which play is this? (I am NOT referring to the "Angels In America" monologue at the end of the movie.)

A Well-Made Film with Strong Performances!

Julianne Moore should receive her fifth Oscar nomination for her authentic portrayal of a character suffering from mental illness

Good morning. It's an honor to be here. The poet Elizabeth Bishoponce wrote: 'the Art of Losing isn't hard to master: so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.' I'm not a poet, I am a person living with Early Onset Alzheimer's, and as that person I find myself learning the art of losing every day. Losing my bearings, losing objects, losing sleep, but mostly losing memories...

I think I'll try to forget that just happened.

All my life I've accumulated memories - they've become, in a way, my most precious possessions. The night I met my husband, the first time I held my textbook in my hands. Having children, making friends, traveling the world. Everything I accumulated in life, everything I've worked so hard for - now all that is being ripped away. As you can imagine, or as you know, this is hell. But it gets worse. Who can take us seriously when we are so far from who we once were? Our strange behavior and fumbled sentences change other's perception of us and our perception of ourselves. We become ridiculous, incapable, comic. But this is not who we are, this is our disease. And like any disease it has a cause, it has a progression, and it could have a cure. My greatest wish is that my children, our children - the next generation - do not have to face what I am facing. But for the time being, I'm still alive. I know I'm alive. I have people I love dearly. I have things I want to do with my life. I rail against myself for not being able to remember things - but I still have moments in the day of pure happiness and joy. And please do not think that I am suffering. I am not suffering. I am struggling. Struggling to be part of things, to stay connected to whom I was once. So, 'live in the moment' I tell myself. It's really all I can do, live in the moment. And not beat myself up too much... and not beat myself up too much for mastering the art of losing. One thing I will try to hold onto though is the memory of speaking here today. It will go, I know it will. It may be gone by tomorrow. But it means so much to be talking here, today, like my old ambitious self who was so fascinated by communication. Thank you for this opportunity. It means the world to me. Thank you.

Still Alice

Based on Lisa Genova&apos;s 2007 bestselling novel of the same name, &apos;Still Alice&apos; is a saddening, but beautifully made film, that stays on your mind even after it concludes. Its A Well-Made Film with Strong Performances! 

&apos;Still Alice&apos; Synopsis: Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children, is a renowned linguistics professor who starts to forget words. When she receives a devastating diagnosis, Alice and her family find their bonds tested.

&apos;Still Alice&apos; is about a women&apos;s journey coming to an abrupt end. Richard Glatzer &amp; Wash Westmoreland&apos;s Adapted Screenplay is consistently engaging, although difficult to watch, at most times. The protagonist&apos;s journey with her family offers moments of pure love &amp; sadness. You feel for the characters &amp; particularly, for Alice. Glatzer &amp; Westmoreland&apos;s Direction is under-stated, but impressive. Cinematography captures the bleakness, exceedingly well. Editing is just perfect. 

Performance-Wise: Julianne Moore brings Alice to life, with a splendid performance. She becomes Alice &amp; completes her tale, magnificently. Alec Baldwin, as Alice&apos;s supportive husband, redefines &quot;control&quot; in performance. He&apos;s restrained &amp; patient all through. Kristen Stewart, as Alice&apos;s rebellious younger daughter, is natural. Kate Bosworth, as Alice&apos;s older daughter, is in true form, as well. 

On the whole, &apos;Still Alice&apos; is an experience, that demands to be felt. Two Thumbs up!
