a simple story

No plot twists, no action stunts, no high-speed cars and bullets, it's a simple story.

that's enough. Everything is clear, just as Earl's defense has not finished speaking in court, Earl himself admitted all the crimes. He knew where he was going, and he knew he deserved it.

Earl's old age was sad. In his early years, he took his career more seriously and abandoned his family. He even missed his daughter's wedding for his own game. Then he was defeated by the Internet again. Without the Internet, his stubbornness would probably have kept him alive in a halo of flowers.

"A speck of dust from the times that falls on an individual is a mountain."

He is no longer handy, his business is no longer thriving, and he knows nothing about the information age. There is no way out, and the back road of home, Earl, has long been cut off.

The only regret after watching this film is that the ending plot of this film did not push the sadness of old age to a higher level. If his daughter and granddaughter do not accept him, or if he is criticized in court, or if a big drug lord decides to beat him up after a drug sale, the last shot shows the bank putting up the Forclosure sign again, That movie could definitely be better in terms of plot.

Final thoughts:

1) Saving money, pension plans, etc. are really important.

2) Be kind to your loved ones.

3) Do not touch poison.

4) Can people under 90 be able to move? ? ?

    Hardcore old driver. Originally a person who likes to show off, at the beginning of the orchid fair, his character and background were vividly displayed: outside he is a flamboyant, showy, and capable old man, and he is humorous and full of charm and affinity to outsiders. A great friend and work partner; but he is domineering, fidgeting, and even avoiding some inherent problems with his family. To a certain extent, he is a bit like my grandpa (at least in terms of the impression he gives to his family and outsiders), so the choices he made later are very self-consistent for him. Needless to say, the motivation is very strong, the action is effective, the editing is clean and neat, and the lines are also very well-designed, which effectively promotes the plot and makes people feel very reassuring. , and has a unique sense of joy, I am very happy to see it, full of the temperament and style of Lao Dongmu. It is said that because he cooperated with his family in this film, he also appeared in the premiere with his illegitimate daughter who has not been recognized by his family for many years and reached a reconciliation, making the film more like a reflection and summary of his personal experience.

    The old man adapted such a story. His thin old image is the play itself, and his attitude is very free and easy. He has been educating the young people around him and telling you various truths. For example, time is the most important thing to spend with the family. It's all clouds, no matter how much money you make, you can't buy back the lost time. But for young people, they might think, what is the point of not having money to stay with their families? Young people never want to listen to the advice of others. Many truths may not be known until they have lived. What others tell you is just as if they have watched this movie.
