Thank you for your sensitive response. I understand what you’re saying. They probably would never make a movie about a U.S. President’s frailties like they did her’s!

Another observation along those lines — When I was young, the media never exposed public figures’ personal lives or problems, and especially not their health. Now, we know way too much!

That being said, I think the movie does depict Margaret Thatcher as a powerful and successful politician, and I feel that part of her life is equally as present in the film as the elderly part of her life. I didn’t find it cruel, I found it humanizing.

I do appreciate your thoughtful comment. Thank you!

They could have fictionalised the whole thing and it would have still been as powerful particularly Meryl Streep’s histrionics.

I hope you find the movie as interesting as I did. You may also enjoy reading the book, Designated Daughter, by D.G. Fulford that I link to toward the end of the post. It was probably my most favorite caregiving book ever!

All the best to you on your caregiving journey. I hope you will check back here whenever possible, and share the information with others you may know who are also caregiving.
