The three old men's actor careers lasted for half a century. From the 1960s to the present, like Michael Caine, there are masterpieces in almost every stage of life, and the works almost never leave the vision of fans. Whether it is "Alfie" and "Italian Job" in youth, or "Hannah Sisters" in middle age, or "Second-hand Lion" in old age, after 2000, Nolan's Queen, Steward Alfred, etc. His British gentleman's style is deep-rooted, charming and elegant. It can be said that the years will erode his body and appearance, and will make him stagger, but because of his spirit and inner, he is like an aged wine, refreshing. , makes you feel more comfortable.
Not to mention Morgan Freeman, it can be said that fans of the post-60s, 70s and 80s grew up watching his films, from "Driving for Miss Daisy", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Seven Deadly Sins", " Million Dollar Baby, Nolan's Batman Trilogy, Now You See Me series, etc. When other actors need to face the status quo after the age of 50, there is no good role, the body is getting fat, etc., Mr. Morgan Freeman is like a hang-up. After the age of 50, he frequently presents excellent works, and his physical condition is good. He has to let people admire. It really corresponds to what Yu Dafu said in "Chi Osmanthus Flowers", I hope we can all make Chi Osmanthus, so that although it blooms late, it lasts for a long time.
Not to mention, when Morgan Freeman had not yet elected Obama as the first president of the United States with black blood, the old man was already in the movie and starred as the president of the United States. Due to the influence of the "Fake God" series, many people even think that Mr. Morgan Freeman is "god"!
Although Ellen Arkin does not seem to be very famous, he is also the protagonist who once acted with Audrey Hepburn; after 2000, he won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his excellent performance in "Little Miss Sunshine" Award; since then, in works such as "Confused Detective", "Sunshine Cleaning" and "Escape from Tehran", Alan Akind has given wonderful performances, and he has reached a small peak in his acting career.
So, how can you miss this "Three Old Gunners" that these three performers of the old rivers and lakes? ! Basically, it's been waiting since the trailer. After watching this film, although there are some plots, it really can't stand the sales! For example, three elderly people in their 80s took advantage of the time difference between calling the police and the police to rob a bank. Do they think they are so agile? ! The little girl did not identify Willie and others. But in the film, there is no place for the old to depend on. After getting old, the old guys huddle together to warm up, which is both warm and a little embarrassing.
Joe (played by Michael Caine), Willie (played by Morgan Freeman), and Albert (Alan Arkin), three elderly people who have worked hard in the factory for more than 30 years, but in their 70s and 80s, they were caught in the Under the wave of globalization, in order to save costs, the old factories moved to Vietnam; under the operation of acquisitions and capital accounting, their pensions were actually used as money to repay debts by the old owners, and they became nothing. All of a sudden, the life that was barely maintained under the pension has become a luxury, and everyone's life has become in jeopardy.
Joe's daughter is divorced, but Joe has a dear, elf-loving granddaughter who is close to him. Under the guarantee of Joe's pension, they have a house; but once the pension is gone, the house will be repossessed; his hopes for a good education for his little granddaughter have come to nothing.
Willie can only visit her daughter and granddaughter once a year because of the lack of pension funds; her kidney is still broken, and she has no extra money for a kidney transplant.
Albert, single; playing the saxophone at night in order to make up for his poor pension; teaching the saxophone to the little fat man and enduring the piercing sound of the fat man; roommates with Willie, sleeping on the recliner .
Just when survival has become a problem, and he is nowhere to be seen, after experiencing a bank robbery, Joe decides to rob a bank or go to jail, where he can eat and drink for free, and solve the pension problem for free.
So the three friends decided to be eye-catching, and agreed that they didn't rob too much, but they robbed them according to their pension amount. If they robbed too much, they would donate to charitable organizations.
Although "robbing a bank" is illegal, when your living expenses and life-saving money are hacked by banks, companies, or institutions that are either legal or illegal but have no obvious legal loopholes, then you have nothing, but Bank and company bosses are on the loose, go to resorts, blow the sea breeze, hug beautiful women, and drink Lafite, what do you do?
In real life, because there is no direct evidence, many times, ordinary people can only suffer from dumb losses. However, in the medium of film, we have a solution, that is to rob his bank, rob the rich and help the poor. Although I rob the bank, I have a right to steal. Don't kill or destroy, just run Lao Tzu's life-saving money went.
So three old people bought a Mexican named Jesus with marijuana, and started a special bank robbery training that made people laugh!
Try to grab the supermarket, fail! All the stealing behaviors were seen by the surveillance cameras; they were also chased by the female security guards, almost crashing the car; finally, they were trained by the security team leader. The security team leader claimed that in his security career, he had never encountered this behavior. Willie also made a cameo appearance in ET, sitting in the basket in front of the old man's walker, enjoying it very much, and even sprinkled flour on the face of the female security guard.
Going to the bank to step on the spot and simulating the whole process of robbing the bank was unsuccessful! After all, when Jesus was timing, he found that they timed out too much.
But time waits for no one, and Joe's house is about to be repossessed! So at the garden party, the three disguised themselves as members of the Mouse Band and started robbing the bank! The whole process was safe, but when Willie was talking to a little girl, the little girl almost took off her mask, but half of her face was exposed, and the little girl also saw that Joe and Albert gave Willie a photo of his granddaughter watch.
So, at the beginning, the detective skills that Joe needed to master by watching TV, the sheriff who answered media interviews (played by Matt Dillon, oh my god, he is still quite handsome, this is the role, a bit silly, a bit second, but The face value is still online!), and soon locked the target on the three people Joe. After all, he is also a sheriff, and he still has some investigative skills. Therefore, when inquiring, there are all kinds of verbal tricks, but the old guys are not vegetarians, and all kinds of alibi are stable.
In the end, even the little girl was called to identify Joe and the others on the spot (I don't know if this kind of face-to-face testimony between witnesses and suspects is not in line with American law?) The little girl chose not to identify Willie. In fact, she had already Saw his watch and half of his face. (This setting is really not very logical! Is it because Willie didn't take the little girl's doll at that time; he also squatted down to communicate with her carefully; when he saw that he was squatting on the ground, he didn't get up; let her be good Learning not to rob the bank, let the little girl feel that Mr. Willie is actually a good person. Is robbing the bank because he was forced?)
Finally, after the little girl came out, she saw Willie's granddaughter waiting outside the door and smiled at her ! This implied that the little girl must have recognized Willie, but she chose not to.
However, the law in the United States implements "suspected crimes never exist". Without evidence and witnesses, the sheriff has no choice but to take these three old men.
The sheriff was not reconciled. He was still in the cafe where the elderly often go, and he encountered Joe and Jesus at that time! Joe just learned that Jesus was one of the bank robbers who inspired him to rob a bank. Facing the sheriff's cross-examination, Joe also gave Jesus a cover, then took the puppy that Jesus gave him for his granddaughter, and evacuated safely with Jesus!
The sheriff was even more miserable. When he was teasing the dog, he was bitten on the finger by the puppy!
As a result, the old man had no one to depend on, and after he was forced to rob the bank, everyone had money for the old man.
Willie had a kidney transplant; Joe's house must have been saved, and he gave it back to the waiter in the cafe he frequented, as a wad of money as a tip for so many years; the three also used a pie box and gave it to The other old guys each had a small bundle of dollars.
When it comes to Willie's kidney transplant, it's warm and funny. After becoming rich, Willie finally performed the necessary kidney transplant, and it was Albert who provided him with the kidney. Joe also wanted to provide Willie with a source of kidney before, but Willie directly expressed that your kidney may not be good, but Joe still insisted that if the kidney is not good, he also wants to provide you with a source of kidney, it is so warm! In the end, it is estimated that the pros and cons are weighed, or the body is strong. Recently, Albert, who has been frequently get laid, has provided Willie with a kidney source! Then Albert joked, I don't want to die on the operating table!
At the end of the film, under Joe's touching speech (the background at that time, it was all white flowers, I thought something really happened to Albert on the operating table), it turned out to be the wedding scene, Albert and Annie got married! On the wedding scene, all the family and friends of these old friends, the little fat man who didn't want to play the saxophone, finally became a dancer, a dream come true!
The three old pals toasted, perhaps celebrating that they had finally saved their peaceful, warm lives with family and friends.
Watching this film, I still feel a warm and aching feeling. After working hard for a lifetime, obeying the law, and planning ahead, it is very likely that even the pension that guarantees basic living will be swallowed up. Although this movie, in a humorous, warm and funny way, shows that after the pension is gone, everyone can still rob a bank, rob the rich and help the poor, and be Robin Hood. However, in real life, this is almost impossible to achieve.
Just imagine, after working all your life, you are getting old and have no ability to work, but your pension is gone! At this time, do you really have to rely on your children to support the elderly? They also have their own living budget, will they treat the elderly as a burden at this time? The old people have worked hard all their lives and have seen the boss's face for half their life, but because of the pension issue, they also have to look at the faces of their children. Think about it, it's pretty scary and hurtful.
So, hopefully, when we get old, our pensions won't be touched. When we are old, we can get together with a group of old guys to keep warm and have something to live with.
