The premise of all success or happiness is that you must first blindly believe that it will be successful or happy. As Sonny has always done, everything will be fine, if not, it's not the end. Douglas's daughter-in-law, Jean, doesn't believe this, so she has no luck with the final reunion. But she can't be easily evaluated. The movie did not show her life to the audience. We don't know if there is any specific reason for her pessimistic value judgment and value choice. It can be seen in many places that this film is indeed a bit unconventional, but I still want to give it five stars. This is originally a low-budget movie that tells a good thing. If you don't like to watch it and think the story is not good, don't show it. What if it proves that you are also someone who suffers from this law without luck.
A grand fairy tale for the elderly. They are our parents and even grandparents. Their contribution to the society has been minimal, and it is only a burden for the younger generation. They have experienced ups and downs and hardships, and they are inevitably lonely after working hard all their lives. They have little goals in their later years. They just want to relive their old dreams and old times, prove that they still got it, or fulfill a lifetime wish. They are Mrs M, Davy Jones, Lenny Cole, Professor McGonagall, Mrs Crawley, and a Princess Margaret and Prince Michael (haha forgive me for not seeing their other films). They're probably all those old granny characters from other British movies and TV shows you've seen. This play is not so much an adaptation of a novel as it is a collective return to the acting career of these old British actors and a thank you to the audience: after creating so many classic characters, in their most basic identities, "old age" People", performed such a warm and profound life comedy.
Bright lines and dark lines First of all, as I said, this is a rather unconventional film, and many plot designs are more predictable, but the overall style of the film is still my favorite type, which is more relaxed and warm. In particular, the encounters of each protagonist before and after his trip to India echo each other, which is really eye-catching. And their experiences and existing personalities have changed more or less with the more than fifty days spent in this hotel. Graham is a person with a past in India. Although he has been a high-sounding justice in the High Court all his life, he has an unspoken secret about India's past. He had been humiliated by an affair with a local Indian man, and this trip to India was actually because he wanted to find a young gay man for confession and reunion. Muriel's master-servant line: Muriel, who turned out to be the housekeeper of the big family, came to India for convalescence, where she met an Indian "untouchable" who served her. The contact with her made Muriel slowly let go of her prejudice against Indians and think of her younger self, which also aroused her kindness (instead of mouth gun) and her motivation to open a new chapter in her life. Evelyn was just widowed and had a rough start with a phone operator, and then ran into a bunch of phone operators in India, 2333. But what is more subtle and core is the change in her view of marriage. In the film, she expresses her longing for her husband many times, but she also understands that her marriage is very patriarchal-because she has no job and has been a housewife all her life. Therefore, on this trip, while exploring the local cultural customs of India, she also calmed down and searched for her own marriage and marriage concept. After going through a push-pull (push-pull) ideological struggle, she was relieved and gained new love. Douglas and Jean, the film doesn't focus much on their past, only that they are a couple just entering old age, the only daughter has not yet established a career, and they are under financial pressure. Because Jean is picky about houses, he came to India with fantasies of exotic places. In fact, their relationship is full of crisis, and the poor and humble couples feel sad. But the root cause is that her personality doesn't match. Douglas is a really good man, and Jean, I would rather believe that she has the character she is today because of some things. Treasure knife duo: these two cute and playful old guys Norman and Madge are the masters in the UK, and they are still conscientiously flirting with girls + Yohan at such a large age, and finally let them meet in India Alas, it's a pity that they didn't make up a pair.
Insights on life? In terms of layout, it is not impossible to simply talk about the adventures of these old people in India, then it will become the Indian version of Argo 23333, but since the director wants to add a pair of young Indians as a foil, it is not just about Sonny's famous saying Everything will be all right in the end is used to highlight the theme, but also the attitude of young people and Indians is used to contrast the old and British people. Enjoying the best and accepting the worst is a sign of what has been eaten and seen, and it is also the source of spiritual happiness in this material world. I have no life, I have not even given birth to anyone. I don't have any pattern or thinking. Writing a movie review is like someone's introduction. I just watched this movie because I was old enough, bored enough, and wanted to have fun. Life is a privilege rather than a right, which is the most important inspiration I have received. And the universality of this statement is that it doesn't matter if you are young or old: young people maintain awe of life, and old people maintain confidence in life. I often think that it would be best to end at the peak, but after all, there are so many people who live to old age and die naturally, isn't it good? Aren't they happy too? Life and death are also great, how can one know death without knowing life? I often think that life is a long and lonely walk, but when a few old people from different walks of life who have never known each other get together, you will find it very interesting, and often get together with people until old age, which is also a happy thing . I can't call myself an old man yet, and I have to maintain awe of life, which is an obligation. I read the bucket list a few years ago. At that time, I didn't know much about life, death, or death. I just thought it was a good thing that people become more and more open as they get older. Later, I fought against villains and myself in the mud of this world, and I slowly felt that it would be great if it all ended. Everything in the world will end at the same time. There should be no time difference. No one dies earlier or later than people. , everyone is over, thoughts are over, let me get rid of that. Alas, it's a pity that I can't do it, it's a pity that I still have to live. And to survive, you must have the attitude and state of living, shouting that you are an elderly person every day, how can you do chronic suicide by smoking and drinking? Can't you die beautifully and live beautifully? Can't eat well but can't eat well? This is an obligation, and this is also a quality.
I still think of myself as an old man 2333. Here are Judi Dench’s lines in Sky Crisis. I can’t tell what the connection is, so let’s copy it as an end:
We are not now that strength Which in old days move the earth and heaven That which we are, we are one equal temper of heroic heart made weak by time and fate but strong will to strive, to seak, to find and not to yield.
