      Everyone who lives elsewhere is happy

      10 points!! Cry-of-laughter movie!!

      The movie should be translated as: "The Best Marigold Foreign Hotel: Living Elsewhere". The critics said that the people who resonate are the older audiences, I am so scared, I am like an old man, I have a certain degree of obsession with old things, and my mind is always full of things that I should not think about now thing. Let's talk about the movie. I feel that the box office is good in foreign countries, but it is not well known in China, so...

      If all is not good enough, it is not the end.

      Leaving aside purely British humorous films such as "Two Smoking Guns", British comedies in recent years seem to be accustomed to using pictures with brighter color contrasts to mobilize the audience's vision, which is similar to "Love Actually". very similar. Secondly, you can almost find all the old British actors who are active on the big screen in this movie, and the director's outstanding point is that the scenes allocated to each actor are not so sufficient, but they can Let everyone...

      There are no standard answers in life

      If we divide life into 10 parts, we are the group of people who are still struggling with the last part. Birth, old age, sickness and death are a matter of seconds for us. We feel lonely, but we are unwilling to be lonely; we feel lost, but have nowhere to hide.
                                                                                                                                   ——By me

      two old urchins who are unwilling to be lonely...

      In the end, everyone will be happy.

      I don't want to comment on the film, I just want to say "life is like a play, play is like life". Wishing Maggie Smith and several other veteran actors a long and healthy life.

      real failure, is never tried.
      The indicator of success is how to deal with disappointment.
      We must all do the same.

      We come here to try,
      we all try in different ways, and
      we feel like we're too old to change, is there...

      A group of old people are looking for themselves in India, do you have to wait until you are old? -- some spoilers

      This is a movie that describes the elderly. People with different identities, different occupational situations, and different physical health enter old age. The same is that there is anxiety, helplessness, helplessness and hope for change. Originally, what I expected was continuous laughter and a lot of embarrassing things, but after reading it, I was a little worried and sighed~~
      Under the arrangement of the screenwriter, these very distinctive people saw a fairyland-like clean, dreamy,...

      There are indeed many flaws in this film, but it also has many likable advantages: First, the external Indian flavor and the internal British style collide to create a wonderful interest; The performances are superb and dazzling, especially my beloved Judi Dench and Maggie Smith; third, the warmth and healing, although the subject matter is not new, but the advantage is that it is not pretentious and not deliberately...

      Just a bowl of hearty English hen soup for the soul with everything reasonable. The end is not necessarily a tragedy, it probably only shows a new beginning. "If it doesn't get better, it's probably because the real ending hasn't come yet." The cast is strong, and the performance of the British old man and old lady is wonderful. The most hilarious is the reunion between Britain and India's good friends, and it's hard not to think of its political metaphor. This year is really the most dazzling...

    Movie plot

    Seven old British people who had reached their twilight years were attracted by a fancy Indian hotel advertisement and formed a "silver-haired group" to go to Jaipur, India, for a holiday. Among the seven, the empathetic Evelyn ( Judith Olivia Dench ) tried to live independently after the loss of her husband; Justice Graham (Tom Wilkinson) , who suffered from heart disease, returned to the place where he had lived since childhood to...

    The film is a warm and healing film. The film does not have a harsh sense of form that is criticized. The director also reasonably controls the time and the context of the characters. The movie screens are exquisite and eye-catching, the lines are refined and interesting and intriguing, and the actors also have their own full character and bitter stories. The superb acting skills of the actors can easily and naturally let the audience...

      Madge Hardcastle: Where?

      Sonny: Here. In here.

      Madge Hardcastle: My dear man, rooms have doors. What you're showing me here is an alcove.

    • Douglas Ainslie: I invested our, well, my retirement money in our daughter's Internet company. She assured me that as soon as the startup actually, um, started up and the conversion from virtual to actual became sufficiently viable, then she'd be able to pay it all back.

      Evelyn: I'm not sure I understand what most of those words mean.

      Douglas Ainslie: Well, it turns out neither did she.

    • Evelyn: [about their new environment] Initially you're overwhelmed. But gradually you realize it's like a wave. Resist, and you'll be knocked over. Dive into it, and you'll swim out the other side.
