The practice of letting go, learning the art of losing, might not seem that appealing to most people, but you will come across it sooner or later in your life.

The moment Alice found herself start to get lost in her own world, is like a person drowned. The more you struggle, the quicker you sink. It is so frightening that your own body become your prison, nobody hears your desperate screaming. She even cannot commit suicide in one shot. The movie, although no blood, shows how a person was killed alive. She runs in scare, trying to escape from her destiny.

Life is a lonely journey, you have to walk the road by yourself even when you are accompanied by loved ones. Everyone in the family has their own fear, each of them have to take the ordeal of life. However, love and courage unites the family, it's the faint light in the darkest and coldest night. 

I remember reading 'Tuesday with Morrie', it demonstrate perfectly how to walk the road of life. You can always chose, chose to be happy, practice gratitude for what you still hold in your hand, chose to follow your heart, chose to spend quality time with the people you care and love. 

Richard Glatzer, Still Alice co-writer and director, after battling ALS for four years, died on 11 Mar 2015. Aged 63. Shortly before he took on the project of Still Alice in 2011, Glatzer was diagnosed with ALS, and his condition rapidly deteriorated. Glatzer is the shadow of Alice, they dance to the same song of life's torture. 

His husband Wash Westmoreland said: It can be very, very tough, and making the film and now watching the film, I myself am inspired to do better, to serve better, to love better, to be more emotionally present-no matter how tough the days can be.

Still Alice, still Glatzer.
