    freedom and rules

    The male protagonist is still looking for a young body around the age of 60, because he is such a person. Being himself has brought pain to his life, and frankly, because he is older, and society has taken away those glamorous capital.

    Escape is also an option.

    The most honest businessman--Ben was once brilliant, a criminal record ruined his business, and his family collapsed because of his debauchery. It was not stated whether Ben actually had a heart attack. To Ben, it doesn't seem to be important anymore, whether it's a straw or a mountain, Ben chose...

    A few lines are really messy, making it difficult for the audience to figure out what the director wants to express! The friendship with an old friend, the relationship with the ex-wife, the yearning love between the two when teaching the otaku, and the incestuous relationship with the rich woman's daughter---loneliness, since you have chosen, you enjoy it!

Solitary Man quotes

  • Jimmy Merino: When my father gave me this place years ago, I used to dream about these girls. Every night, dreams, all kinds of dreams about 'em. But then I'd see them coming back after graduation. They'd come to homecomings, ballgames. They'd sit at the same tables, eat the same food. And I'd look at them and I noticed, they don't stay like this. None of 'em. They put on years and pounds and wrinkles. And I got one like that at home. So. And we can talk to each other. I know her and I'll always know her.

  • Ben Kalmen: You got your little jokes, you know, the Spanish thing, interests are the same, and the studying. But, um, are you getting it, you know, where it counts?

    Maureen: Oh, Ben. Cheston thinks you care about him.

    Ben Kalmen: This has nothing to do with him. He's never gonna know about this. Never.

    Maureen: Aren't you a little old for all this?

    Ben Kalmen: You're still standing here, aren't you?

    Maureen: Yeah, 'cause I'm contemplating throwing this drink in your face. But I'm not going to, because I don't want Cheston to know what you just tried. So you can just walk away. Please.

    Ben Kalmen: Nothing personal.

    Maureen: Hey. That is it, actually. Since you asked, that's what I get from him. Something personal. Besides getting it done where it counts, which he does. Cheston and I reach each other. He's tender and sweet and smart and funny and a million things that you aren't.

    Ben Kalmen: I was once, honey. It doesn't last.
