Although I have already heard of this name, if it wasn't for Swindon's rain and snow plus four degrees of zero weather, I was so mentally retarded that I only wore a shirt and a windbreaker, and I had no choice but to hide in the theater. Not much. At the beginning, I just went to a group of old dramas with bone-bone acting skills. I had no hope of stamping the plot of "for the elderly only", but in the end, to be honest, TBEMH is a meaning from all kinds of meanings. Surprising movies on all of them. The exotic atmosphere of India, the conflicts between the characters, and the trend of the plot are partly reasonable, and partly unexpected. Considering that the 100% attendance rate in the theater is mostly retired elderly people, while taking care of it Their physical condition and open-mindedness shouldn't be too out of the ordinary. On the one hand, they have given them a little freshness. If this is indeed the screenwriter's intention, then I can only worship this kind of thoughtfulness.

The acting skills of the protagonists are to the extent that people directly kneel down. Although the film is more than two hours long, due to the large number of characters on the scene, even if the script is still tight, the director feels that he is trying his best to create the moment of inspiration, and there is not much time left for everyone to show off his skills. Even so, those short moments were all used to the maximum, and every gesture with a smile and a smile was at the textbook level. For this point, this film is worth watching.

The introduction of same-sex themes once again proved that British morality was rushed into the Thames. Grandpa Wilko just started talking about the love of young people. At that time, I thought I learned a new way of describing heterosexuality, and then repeated There was a man. When I started telling myself that you thought too much, when I am gay came out, I started pinching my thighs again, wishing to start roaring in front of the grandparents of the whole theater, and the grandparents laughed so naturally, and finally met again. At that time, I saw something shining in the eyes of many people—it made me feel ashamed of thinking that I was more closed than the old people in a Conservative constituency...faced the wall.

Generally speaking, there are many points of laughter and tears, and the impeccable dialogue and performance convey these points to the audience without difficulty. The only flaw is that many of the sections may be a bit old, but I like this film, I like the hustle and bustle of India, and the grandparents who are sometimes cute, sometimes deep and sometimes funny, so I can ignore all the flaws.

And more importantly, this film puts me in a perspective that I tried to think but never thought enough, that is: when I retire, when I get old, what my life might look like , And at that time, how should I use the remaining time to paint my life with a few days.

In fact, you don't need to live to know the fate of life to discover that life is a process of accumulation of errors. Some can pass with a smile, some are regrettable; some are just wishful thinking, and some are knots that two or even many parties have been unable to untie. You may find that you have been deceived all the time; you may feel that you have endured things you shouldn't bear for too long; there may be some truths that you only understand until now, or you have the courage to realize them until you understand them.

But sooner or later, the thought of "I might die tomorrow" will awaken myself from the deepest self-deception. Death may really be the most insurmountable fear, and sometimes this fear is not a bad thing. It drove us to overcome other fears and do many things that we were afraid to do before. Go to a different country, experience a life you have never had before, try to feel young again, finally find your lover when you were young, and start pursuing what you really want again.

And everything is because there is only one time in life. We want to take away happiness, joy, love, and cherished memories. No one wants to regret it. It may be too early to think about this problem now, and sooner or later the busy life will force us to leave this problem behind. What's really gratifying about this film is that even if you only think of this problem when you're old, it won't be too late.

It is never too late.

  • Jean: The whole thing is actually tremendously exciting. Not just getting on the plane, but getting on the plane and turning left.

    Norman Cousins: Turning left?

    Jean: First class. And home in time for our fortieth wedding anniversary. We haven't quite decided how to mark the occasion.

    Madge Hardcastle: Perhaps a minute's silence.

    Douglas Ainslie: I... I missed the plane.

    Evelyn: What about Jean?

    Douglas Ainslie: She didn't. I had... I had quite an interesting night actually. I... I met the same... um... taxi driver, but this time I let him take me to his brother's hotel, which turned out to be less of a hotel and more of a... more of a brothel really. And... and they gave... they gave me this pipe, said it was apple tobacco but that's not what they called it when I was a student, so... so I made my excuses and left. I needed time to think. This city at night is extraordinary. I think the apple tobacco helped... probably.
