muca-24893 The film Iris, is about the author an philosifer by same name who lived from 15th of July until the 8th of February 1999. Iris is a very eccentric and independent woman, who meets a man named John. John is also a writer, and is as highly educated, as Iris is it. They share the same passion of writing and reading. They are eachothers opposites. John is very naive, shy and he studders. The way Iris knows her way with male friends, is having sex with them. John is not that experinced in life, and he thinks they are a couple. John sees Iris with another man in her apartment, and confronts her about it, and then she tells him, that he is the only one who knows her better than anyone else, and declares her love to him. They are getting married, but are not having any children. When Iris is about to write her new book, she forgets how to spell simple words. At an interview in a studio, Iris forgets how to explain properly about education. She is wondering about, what is happening, and John tries to calm her down. Iris is suffering from Alzheimers disease, and the disease is taken control of Iris, and then she is the one to be dependent on her husband. One day she leaves home, John tries to look for her every where he thinks she might be. An old friend comes to the house with Iris, and when John opens the door, he can not remember the person, who comes back with Iris. After this situation, and Iris' condition is getting worse, John realize that having Iris at home is very hard for him, and he wants her at a nursing home, where they are professionals in Alzheimer's disease, and they have the knowledge needed , so they can take good care of Iris in a proper way. Shortly after arriving at the nursing home, Iris dies with John by her side. A very good film, that describes the Alzheimer's disease in a very good way, and also how you can react to the disease as a relative, when you still have hope for your loved ones.

Karen Jensen The movie was a little long range, with many flashback in to Iris past. It was nice to have see how her life was when she was younger, where she writing and was a person who lived a very free life, without depending on any one. In the movie, are there were many collections from before she was ill, which she was known, had very different for large vocabulary, but also that she loved to write. After she became ill with Alzheimer's she knew not how she was going to write. One of the flashback, are shown many times in the film is when they ate out and cycling, where John, Iris husband, yells after her that she needs to slow down because he cant keep up with her. I think that the flashback describes much of the films idea about how that relationship is. Because he constantly, is after her, and falls just into her lifestyle. If one thinks of when she is healthy, he does what she says and does to adapt into her everyday life, even when she gets sick. It is also him who suits her, and his everyday life is going to fit into how she did it. The movie describes well have it is to have the Alzheimer disease.

Dale Haufrect "Iris" is a beautiful film from 2001. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. The director is Richard Eyre. The writers are John Bayley and Richard Eyre. Actors include Kate Winslet, Hugh Bonneville, Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent. This film succeeds where the overrated "A Beautiful Mind" fell short. It puts its subject's life into perspective and gives a sense of her worldview and, needs, and desires--as opposed to just focusing on the illness. I think it is also more effective in its use of different actors to portray the main characters at different ages, rather than using distracting age makeup, like in ABM. I came away from this with a profound admiration for Iris Murdock, whereas I felt like I hardly got to know John Nash at all. But enough with the comparisons. This film stands well on its own as a tribute to the companionship shared by Iris and her husband John Bayley throughout their long, complex, relationship. Broadbent deserved that Academy Award, although I would say he plays more of a lead character than supporting. Seeing Iris through Bayley's loving eyes is what makes the film an enriching experience. He is the one who must adapt to her unconventional lifestyle, and their journey together is a rewarding one. I gave the film 8 stars. Dale Haufrect

liten IrisA film about Irish Murdoch, renown British writer, who of Alzeihmer's and old age died. This is predominantly a story about love. Irish Murdoch marries John Bayley and they live a life together, until she dies. Rather simple, and rather straightforward. No surprises in this movie, and yet it is very beautiful one. One would think that to love is beyond words. But not for Iris. Her life evolved around words, and she famously said: "Without words, how can one think?" and yet she lost the ability to speak and think the way we do as she grew old. A rather ironic turn of events. But the story needed to be told. The love of John Bayley for Iris, throughout their young years until their old age was one that needed to be told. It goes without staying that with the heavy stardom of this movie, with the likes of Kate Winslet, Judi Dench and Jim Broadbent, acting is superb throughout. Take for example the scene where John& Iris return from the house of the man who was not the chosen by Iris as her boyfriend. John is rather disappointed that he has not read Iris' new book and says so as they walk back through the sunny street. Iris then turns on the threshold of her house, with a look of fear in her eyes, and doubt, and this is beautifully played. Or during the rather touching moments of John swimming in the ocean with his clothes on. What is more funny and cute than that, that shows love and simplicity and the joy of life?For the faint-hearted, this may bring some tears to your eyes, and for the rest, apart from the imbeciles that would actually not like this movie (not the ones that'd get bored, that I may understand) but who'd genuinely not like it, well, that is your problem, because a story has never been so nicely played out in its simplicity and with little words, in contrast to Iris' prolific writing.No reason to put stars for this movie, we are not in class anymore. Go see it! You will not be disappointed, and you will love it!
