Q111304

The movie "Friends With Benefits" has aspects that pertain to the chapter we recently reviewed. The father of the main character struggles with Alzheimer's disease. Throughout the movie he does random, socially unacceptable things such as taking off his pants. He also does not remember major details of his life, like he and his wife splitting up and selling his boat. He addresses his son's friend as a girl he knew in the past. There are times where he has clarity for a while, but soon after, he reverts back to his troubles and gets angry when he doesn't understand what is going on. This movie relates to the current chapter in which we discussed cognitive decline and diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The issues related to Alzheimer's include forgetting how to do everyday tasks as well as forgetting old memories.
