由松山研一和長澤雅美主演的電影, 講述一般家庭照顧無法自理老人的故事, 從兩個面向來看, 一個是無法自理的老人, 一個是照顧者, 照顧者有些要照顧小孩, 要工作, 中間抽時間去照顧老人, 有些照顧者因老人情況嚴重離不開身邊, 導致無法工作, 又因自身情況正常而無法申請補助, 長期下來導致照護者身心俱疲且經濟堪憂; 無法自理的老人也因自己需要別人幫忙才能生活, 覺得沒有做人的尊嚴, 也生無可戀。
現在少子化的情況越來越嚴重, 有很大的機會是老人照顧老人, 年老的照護者應該會有更深沉的無力感, 我自己哪天如果失能了, 我會希望有機會可以選擇安樂死或尊嚴死, 盼望每個國家都能立法通過這項法律。
The movie starring Matsuyama Kenichi and Nagasawa Masami tells the story of ordinary families taking care of the elderly who cannot take care of themselves. From two aspects, one is the elderly who cannot take care of themselves, and the other is the caregiver. Some caregivers have to take care of children and work. They need to take time out to take care of the elderly. Some caregivers cannot leave their side because of the serious condition of the elderly. As a result, they are unable to work, and they are unable to apply for subsidies because their own conditions are normal. In the long run, the caregivers are physically and mentally exhausted and have financial worries; the elderly who are unable to take care of themselves feels no dignity as a human being and no meaning of life because they need help from others to survive.
Nowadays, the declining birthrate is becoming more and more serious. There is a big chance that the elderly will take care of the elderly. The elderly caregivers should have a deeper sense of powerlessness. If I become disabled one day, I hope to have the opportunity to choose Euthanasia or death with dignity, I hope every country can legislate this law.
