Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin Yeah, I'm pretty sure my grandfather's was caused by years of drinking as well. He used to joke about how he'd drink Coffee until it was 12 noon, then nothing could possibly taste better than a good, ice cold beer. Beer was a daily thing with him, some nights worse than others.

Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin
Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin I could never watch @OP's original documentary. My grandfather went through it all. I saw him go from what I imagined was slightly scatter brain to... I don't even know the word for it. There were nights when he'd wake up and you knew he was lucid and crying out to God to get him out of it, to help him escape it. During the day, you'd try to talk to him and... I wept every time I heard him. It scared me in ways you could not imagine because of how I knew him to have been before all of that really took effect.He lay in that state for the better part of five years, just getting worse and worse. He couldn't remember us, couldn't remember having children, couldn't remember where he was or how he had gotten there. If you didn't spend a lot of time with him, you would not be able to truly understand what he was saying. He went from being a healthy, hard working man who was strong as a bull, to skin and bone, unable to feed himself, go to the bathroom or pretty much anything else. My grandfather passed away last year and in many ways I'm thankful. His existence was no fun for him and I know it. to sit and aimlessly stare, to have moments of time when he knew he was not all he used to be and all he wanted to be, to have to live as if he were a fully grown baby, requiring constant attention from everyone around him, unable to truly communicate, unable to always remember, unable to recognize or fully understand like he used to... I can't go on writing anymore.

Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin @14, thanks for the reply.It was actually my great grandmother that got me interested in documentaries like this since she had the disease.I did the same as you. I sometimes find myself going back to this one and watching it again.I watched the man with the seven second memory about 6 times now.I wish there were more docs like this one.There is a louis therough one called extreme love2, dimmentia, but that one is only availible in the uk.Let me find an exerpt.https://youtu.be/E-qvkQxBpQwIf you want more full length docs like this just let me know.

Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin
Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin Not intending to do thread necromancy here, but I thought I'd chime in with my thoughts on this Alzheimer's disease documentary. I can't remember precisely when I saw it, but it was this exact thread which made me aware of it, so thank you RTT entertainment for bringing it to my attention.I've always been a bit of a biology nut... though sadly I don't know or care about nearly as much of it as I should. I've always been fascinated though with psychiatry and psychology, mostly because I have issues of my own which I am trying, sometimes successfully and sometimes in vane, to understand.In short, this documentary moved me deeply. Movies can sometimes make me cry, but with a serious matter like this, I often just bow my head in sadness and in fear. I didn't cry while watching it, but I did get a lump in my throat during certain moments and had to shut it off and take a walk around the house to distract myself. I didn't think a documentary could impact me so much, but it did, probably because my mind was receptive to every little detail. I found myself watching parts again and again, particularly spots when Malcom would say things that didn't make sense, or would babble, desperately trying to be heard and understood. It just made me sad to hear that. It's one of those things that reading words cannot convey, you actually have to hear it being recorded to feel it.I also felt deeply for his wife Barbara, who seems to have phenomenal patience. The way malcom would have sudden outbursts of anger really concerned me. At first, I didn't understand why he was being so violent, but then I did: he was angry and felt threatened and out of control of this situation. On some basic level, he must have known what was happening, even if he couldn't talk about it, and I don't think I could've handled it much better if I were him, and that scares me. The fact that Malcom was musical and innovative before his illness just made it hit home harder for me, since I am musical and, well not exactly innovative, but i love experimenting and coming up with ideas.This documentary reminds me of this one, the Man with the 7-second Memory, where Klive Wearing suffered immense brain damage due to a viral infection, losing his ability to create new memories and to recall many old ones. As it turns out, he was also British and also a respected musician. That documentary didn't move me as much as the alzheimers one, but it did do something to me. Perhaps the one about Klyve Wearing didn't do as much to me because his illness was related to a viral infection rather than a natural cause, so I at least have a little more power to stop myself from ending up like him; try to avoid getting serious infections. I already have to do this because of an autoimmune condition. Not saying I won't ever have a horrible infection like that, but i'm trying to reduce my chances.The good news is that Alzheimer's doesn't run in my family. That doesn't necessarily mean I won't get it, but I'm at least not genetically predisposed to it so far as I know. But still, I am scared, probably way more scared than I should be, that I will end up with some horrendous brain problems. I have no real reason to be scared, at least not a good enough reason to start preparing for such a catastrophe, but my brain still plays tricks on me and makes me a pessimist, flashing ahead to a time 30, 40 or 50 years down the road where I am dependent on someone else for everything because my mind can't even find the words to say how much it has lost. Ironically, I'm not afraid of dying or physical ailments. So long as I can use a computer, speak and enjoy food and drink, I will probably be okay. So long as I can think for myself, carry on conversations and feel like I am useful in some way, I'll be okay. And if I die a nonviolent, non painful death, I'd take that over months of suffering. I'm nnot even afraid of what happens after I die. But take my memories and thoughts away and keep me alive to experience it slipping away bit by bit... Hell no. I'm such an intellectual person. I need my mind or else I have nothing.I know it's completely pointless to think ahead like that. Especially when I'm not even in my middle years yet. There's no reason to dwell on it. But it's still scary. It makes me feel like I have to do something big and spectacular now while I still can, but I don't know what.Ah well, maybe this was a wake-up call, to really make me think about the life I want to live, and live it to the best of my ability, rather than putting it off because it's too hard to think about. While I fully intend to enjoy the life I have and hope it is a long one, I'll probably think of this story from time to time, and use it as a reminder that I need to stop being lazy. Whether that'll actually happen though is anyone's guess.In any case, I really needed to get this out... tbh it's been hard for me to think about
Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin
Re: One of the saddest documentaries I have ever watched. What do you thin Hearing a phrase the saddest documentary, makes me always think of this one called "Off the rails". It is a story of Darius McCollum, a man with asperger's and a deeply focused interest in trains. It's not currently possible to give a link to a full movie, but there's a trailer and a wikipedia article. Also feel free to research the topic of Darius McCollum, but those who know and understand the topic of being on the spectrum and when it turns dark and bad, might get deeply sad and overall hard experiences.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off_the_Rails_(2016_film)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaJKDQZMW4c URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/494189/#p494189 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
