      (Turning out long-standing memories for the audio and video exam.)

      Golden Dusk [Oldness is Dusk, Love is Golden]
              Along with the soothing piano music, and the scenery of Belgrade's lakes and mountains, everyone's heart swayed with calm ripples. Life is like this slow music and grass, showing the meaning of indifference.
             From the beginning to the end, the golden pond is filled with the smell of a light fluttering. Little jokes every now and then, little friction...

      Just love, when your face is wrinkled...

      It's a story that's all about aging.
      Norman was a grumpy seventy-something, Ethel a sixty-something.
      The picture slowly cuts in from the pond, dusk, and the skin diving in the water. The slow rhythm vaguely makes people feel the peaceful life of the late years. In such a twilight, the two of them moved to the Golden Pond. Norman's speech was very stiff, but Ethel was like an optimistic and cheerful 18-year-old girl listening to the distant waterfowl.
      This is how the story of the...

      Nice "old" movie

      Wonderful old movie! Under the intoxicating light of the lake and the trees, it shows the silhouette of an elderly couple's life. In front of Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn's acting skills, Jane Fonda can only be regarded as an inconspicuous embellishment. The only thing that bothers me is why she is so dark? Was it tanned or was it originally? The difference in skin color between her and her father is too big, hehe. What should also be praised about this film is the wonderful dialogue,...

      grow old with son

      In the soothing and gentle piano music, the lake surface in the setting sun is rippling with the ripples of broken gold.
      There are two water birds cruising on the water in the center of the lake, leaning against each other, sinking and floating in the waves of the lake.
      The sky was burning with fire-like clouds, and the trees stood quietly on the water bank, admiring their shape-shifting reflections in the water.
      Their quiet place is, year after year, watching what has happened,...

      mirror of life

      Life is a unified unit for everyone, and the time everyone has is as long as a lifetime. During this time, there are bound to be obstacles. There are family obstacles, friendship obstacles, and life obstacles. Running away from a problem is not the solution, because "life goes on, and you have to recognize it." There are many ways to live, and no matter which one you choose, the length of your life will not be extended. Therefore, when facing the mirror of life, you should choose the best...

      The control of tempo in this film is very good, and it can actually finish the reconciliation between father and daughter and the brave and childish little thrill of old husband and wife in the last 10 minutes. The screenwriter and director are very good. Go to the roadside in the early morning to pick wild strawberries, and dance beautifully in the woods under the sunset... Holding your hand and your son grow old...

      Although good, this type of film itself is dull. The thrills that follow are refreshing. The actors are too powerful. In addition to the best actress and actress, her daughter, Jane Fonda, is also a two-time...

      I have watched it twice. It is rare for me to see such a warm film. The interval between the two times is very long, but the second time I watched it, I was still very impressed. That rippling lake, I walked tremblingly to pick up The old man of strawberry~ It is also because of this film that I moved my dream house by the sea to the...

    Movie plot

    The old lady Esser and his husband Norman left the noisy city life and went to the old house where they lived before, a wooden house by the pond, and they restarted their lives. Esser, who is nearly seventy years old, is full of enthusiasm for life, while Norman, who is 79 years old, is just the opposite, depressed and has a weird temper. The beautiful scenery on the side of On Golden Pond and his wife's meticulous care did not make...

    Movie Highlights

    Before the filming started, Katharine Houghton Hepburn injured his arm in a tennis match and planned to quit the film, but Henry tried his best to convince her. There is a scene in which Katharine Houghton Hepburn drags a canoe with the pain on his arm, but this section is omitted in the film.
    All the stunts of Katharine Houghton Hepburn in "On Golden Pond" were performed by herself.
    When filming the scene where Norman and Billy clung to...

    Evaluation action

    "On Golden Pond" is a classic American literary film with a delicate and authentic touch. The whole movie is enveloped in a gentle atmosphere from beginning to end. The beginning of the film is the same as "Notebook of Love", and the warm-toned pictures are like Christmas cards. And those foul language, humor, cold scenes and false alarms make the film full of flexibility. The narrative of the film is also indifferent and leisurely,...

    Movie quotes

    • Bill Ray: Well, how does it feel to turn eighty?

      Norman: Twice as bad as it did turning forty.

    • Billy Ray: [after his father and Chelsea left] I might not stick around here. I might just haul my ass up to Wyoming, Puerto Rico, one of those places. Listen, I know I'm just being dumped here. Just like my middle name. You turkeys don't want me.

      Norman: [quietly, yet emphatically] Bullshit. I'm sixty-seven years older than you. How do you know what I want?

    • Norman: [on phone] Operator, I wondered what you called me for... oh, I called you.
