Aging backwards
After having read this short story, I think it will be interesting to see the film. I suppose the best thing to do in this situation is to write poetry in one’s early twenties, with the experience of age and the (doomed) exuberance of youth. Although the character loses as he approaches childhood, the thing to ask is whether we care for our elderly as they become less able to care for themselves.

He did a great job in the movie. I think you’ll enjoy it, though I imagine the book is better.
