      true story.

      Based on a true story, the film describes the proposal of two women in a conservative town in the English countryside to take a nude photo calendar and sell it to raise money for a local hospital. It was originally just a well-intentioned and whimsical act of righteousness, but it aroused criticism from conservative activists and women's groups, and even attracted social attention due to the media coverage. Under the multiple pressures of family members and public opinion, the women who...

      calendar girl

      - A tribute to beauty,

      impressed with our flabby and fat-laden bodies .
      Even though they are going to Hollywood, the two protagonists are at odds, and the plot is getting old-fashioned.
      But it doesn't matter, I still feel that there is moving power.
      It's not a gimmick like a group of elderly women stripping naked to shoot a calendar. This kind of situation is based on a mutual understanding, and how gentle the handling of the previous scenes is.
      These plays are so...

      The real story of a British town

      I watched two movies in a row: "Calendar Girl" and "Looking at the Sea". Coincidentally, it's all women's films. "Calendar Girl" is said to be a real story in a small British town, a group of middle-aged women photographing nude calendars. A melodious country poem, when the husband never saw his wife naked, it was a taboo. I really liked the old couple's conversation at the breakfast table, and the husband raised the newspaper in his hand: Dear, your photo is in the newspaper. Then continue to...

      live like a sunflower

      "Calendar Girl", the title of the film thought it was a story of a girl who was in bloom, but it turned out that the heroines in the film were all middle-aged or even elderly women.

      Forget who said it, when you can't accept new things, you're old. People's life is always growing: 20-year-old life is 20-year-old, 30-year-old is 30-year-old wonderful, just as Annie's husband said in the movie: "Yorkshire summer, like a Yorkshire woman, every stage. The growth is more beautiful than the...

      waste of good subject

      As for the movie itself may not be "bad", but too disappointed ah ah ah ah ah ~
      Some people actually call this female version of The Full Monty, you've got to be kidding!
      Shrimp shrimp ah ah This is the light The pig part went well, and the jokes were not carefully explored at all, and then it turned into an illusory return to nature in a blink of an eye.
      The worst thing is that it was obviously the old woman who was depressed and suffocated, and wanted to take off and take an...

    Background creation

    The film is based on a true story from the Rylstone and District Women's Institute, whose slogan is "Find happiness in achievement." In April 1999, the group published their 2000 calendar in an effort to raise funds for treatment at local hospitals. Not long ago, the husband of group member Angela Baker, John, died at the hospital after treatment for leukemia failed. Angela and her friend Tricia Stewart and other members of the group...
