  • Art Carney won the masterpiece of Oscars actor, he played a retired teacher in the film. Because the old house he lived in was going to be demolished, he took an old cat from New York to visit the homes of his sons and daughters scattered throughout the United States. He encountered many practical problems and romantic situations along the way. Characters deal with them one by one. Director Paul. Mosowski used natural brushstrokes to depict the problems of the elderly, which also reflected the various aspects of life in society, which was quite delicate and interesting. However, the story lacks a climax, and the structure is a bit loose. It is inevitable that prose movies are common problems. A few years ago, Marcelo Mastroani also starred in a similar European film called "Journey to Heaven".

      Behind the fear is powerlessness

      If possible, there is nothing wrong with driving a car to travel, stop and go, go around China where you want to go, and take your parents to play in Xinjiang.
      If possible, I hope I can age, live, and die decently and cleanly.
      If possible, I can do something helpful for this society or a group of people before I die.
      If possible, I will let me be my mother's daughter in my next life.
      If possible, in my next life, I would like to work harder and be more positive and...

      One day, you will grow old too.



      I know that no one wants to grow old, but no matter how much you resist, life and time will still move forward without mercy. You can't ignore getting old just because you're young. Because, one day, you will become an old man too.

      This is the biggest emotion I have after watching "The Old Man and the Cat". This film tells me my thoughts on life and age through the adventures of a...

      How many roads must a man walk down...

      This now reminds me of how society looks down on those who chooses or are forced to live by themselves, live marginal lives, live a life that other try to avoid.
      By any means, one doesn't have to fully comply with social norms just to act "normal". It's 21st century, and has our society evolved to understand one another? Not much.
      The society perpetuates this notion that one cannot be happy unless you are coupled up, unless you follow certain path, unless you choose to agree with the...

      I haven’t written a diary for a long time, I don’t recall anything that happened a minute ago. I made up a list every day to make up a class. I made a list of things to do. I’ve been able to go to bed early and wake up late. The weather is fine. The meal turned out to be back two days ahead of schedule. It was a bit of an accident. I couldn’t escape from the situation. I didn’t insist on it. So I always thought that I understood reason. to escape heart I too know what he wants
