Who is your favorite character in this movie, and why?

Alice.
She is elegant, wise and independent woman at the beginning, while she is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, she showed vulnerability just like everyone else, but with supports from her family, the strength coming from deep in her heart, she can accept the difficult situation which she's facing.
I love her strong will and courage.

     
What have you learned from this movie?

We all fear that one day we would forget every piece of memory that we once owned, every knowledge that we learned from lives, experience. But the salient symptom of Alzheimer's Disease is losing memories. Alice is a prestigious professor in college, the knowledge she has in her domain is what she treasured the most, now she is losing it, it could be the most terrible thing for her, but then she realized that the most important thing is not her knowledge but the present. 
Live in the present, live in the moment! 
    
Is there anything you want to do differently if you were the character?

Yes.
If I were Alice, I won't make a "suicide record". I will never know where live would lead, and how my life would end. The only thing I could do is to enjoy everything  belongs to me now, I couldn't change anything, but I can feel them at this moment, even I would forget them next minute, at least I have tried, and there's no regrets behind.
    
Did you learn anything new about you after watching this movie?

When I studied this disease in my Abnormal Psychology, I couldn't imagine how it can change a person, after watching this movie, I realized that I have to use my brain more often to prevent this disease.
     
Which scene or song or any part of the movie that you like the best? Talk about it.

My favorite scene is when Alice went jogging near her house as usual, suddenly, her brain went blank, and she totally forgot the way home, the facial expression on Julianne Moore completely showed the anxiety of her, and I could feel the fear and confusion of Alice. I was stunned in the theater by her acting.

Additional comments?

You will definitely wish that you are as beautiful as Julianne Moore when you at her age.
