That is my point. Could you imagine Hollywood making a film about Reagan with him walking around senile, thinking he was president, then interjecting flashbacks in an attempt to show what he did? They would crucify the director.
Why? Because it's something to be ashamed of? If a person suffers with Alzheimer's it has a HUGE impact on their life. It's just not right to leave it out like it's some shameful secret.
