      That's called life

      Each of Ove's suicide attempts has failed due to repeated interruptions.

      In this world that is outdated before it expires, this stubborn, stereotyped and even a little indifferent old man is always remembering his era and sticking to his principles in his own way, but when the ending song sounds , the fragments of Ove's life flashed before your eyes, and you will understand the warmth and loveliness under the armor of his life against suffering.

      "That's life," he said to the...

      In fact, death is an easy thing to do, but what about love?

      Reading alone in bed on a cloudy afternoon. Now, what is playing randomly on the computer is Lin Youjia's cover of "No This Person".
      I think there is a very good lyric in it, I miss the person who dares to love and hate.

      Favorite story is that Sonia changed Ove. It's the most amazing thing in the world for a poor, impoverished boy to be illuminated by a light like this. Although from the beginning to the end, this stern and nasty old man is paranoid and annoying, but there are...

      choose loneliness

      This book tells the story of the last three weeks of a lonely old man's life. The plot is extremely simple and simple, but it is written by the author with warmth and touching. When kind people are hurt by the world again and again, and then become indifferent and mean, out of time, it is difficult to say whether it is this fast-developing society or this old man who insists. Ove, who has not waited until the end of his life, has been rejected by society, and at the same time he is also...

      It's completely the same as the "single man". It's a story about trying to die. It's a pity that too much chicken essence was put in, and the whole piece didn't melt in the pot. Swedish films without Bergman are all IKEA flavors, even the color grading is exactly the...

    Movie plot

With indestructible principles, daily routines and a temperament that is always maddening, he dangles in the community and is secretly called the "bad neighbor from hell." He patrolled around early every morning, moved the bicycles that did not stop into the grid, checked whether the garbage was sorted according to regulations, complained about whose lawn was not...

People are very alienated, everyone is lonely, but no matter how stubborn the old man loves the people around you, he will no longer be indifferent. The film is a sincere and touching comedy, and it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. (Tencent Entertainment Review )

    Movie quotes

    • Ove: One thing is certain. Whatever we do in this life, we will not live past it.

    • Ove: Some people say that fate is the result of our own foolishness.

    • Ove: Hey! What are you doing?

      Mähät: It scratched Prince.

      Ove: Throw another stone and I'll sew a doormat with your mop!

      Mähät: It is a chihuahua. And the cat certainly has both rabies and plague.

      Ove: Oh, yes. Clearly, you do, too, but we do not throw stones at you.

      Mähät: You still think you can do whatever you want? Slimy fucking old man. I'll tell Anders.

      Ove: Go ahead, tell him. If you can make someone who drives an Audi understand. Four zeros on the grill and a fifth at the wheel. If that dog pees in our area again, I'll electrify it. Idiot!
