Yes the pain and compassion we feel for that character and old people in general
(the old version of us all) was the exact point of the movie. An important and almost metaphysical point that is still relevant today, if not even more relevant. Romero cleverly and powerfully executed it, throwing his character in a crowd that sometimes feels more violent and crual than actual zombies.
It nonetheless remains a painful movie to watch, which I was happy didn't last more than 50 minutes that already seemed way too long. There's a reason the master didn't release it, and that difficulty to watch it was probably it.
