What is it like to watch "Golden Pond"?
This is an American literary film that won the Academy Award in 1981. The film describes the story of an old couple and their daughter. Its delicate and real emotions are exciting. The mandarin duck, the scene of the golden sparkling lake, is very beautiful, and it ends with the back hug in the golden sunset, echoing back and forth, which is intriguing.
1. Holding the hand of the son and growing old together with the son
The film describes the simple and persistent love of an old couple. After their retirement, they have a rich life in their later years, such as reading, walking, picking strawberries, fishing, swimming, and playing flags. The protagonist Norman is a stubborn and childish "old child", and his wife Ethel has always been caring and tolerant as a child. Norman, who is over seventy years old, has an eccentric temper and fears death, but his wife Ethel is full of enthusiasm for life. She understands him, enlightens him, tolerates him, and helps him regain his confidence in life again and again. I was moved by the sincere love between the two of them when my wife said to her twilight husband, "You are my knight in shining armor." The most touching thing is that when Norman fell into the water and was injured, his wife jumped into the water without hesitation to rescue his wife. It can be seen that this is the appearance of love that accompanies you as you grow old and live with each other! The background music is warm and light, which fits well with the theme and is worthy of aftertaste.
2. Love is always there
The estrangement between Norman and his daughter in the film has always existed since childhood, and it has a great influence on his daughter Chessie, so that more than ten years later, the daughter is still very afraid and uneasy when facing her father. In the end, under the patient mediation of their mother Ethel, the two finally released their quarrel. After all, Norman's first reaction after falling into the water was to call his daughter Chessie's name. The two just lacked communication and understanding. My daughter has always kept her father's harshness and criticism to her in her childhood. She is reluctant to go home often, and she is indifferent to Norman. I think this will be a little naive and immature. Each of us remembers childhood. Is there something painful? But life goes on and on, isn't it more tiring to carry on with these pains and unhappiness? Only by erasing these bad memories and adding some happy pictures will you feel the greatness of father's love. After watching the film, I can't help but think that as adult children, we should give more understanding and tolerance to our parents. Sometimes the expression of father's love may be different, but father's love is like a mountain, change the angle, try to communicate and understand him, and open our hearts , there may be different results, because love has always been there, never betrayed.
3. About the crisis of old age
Through this film, I learned about the old man's fear and fear of death, which reminds me of my 86-year-old grandfather. He seldom went to the hospital, and was especially afraid of being sick and hospitalized. I said it for a while, but I was very stubborn. At first, I didn't understand my grandfather's behavior very well. Why didn't I go to the hospital when I was sick? Later, I realized that he was afraid that he would not be able to come back when he went to the hospital, so he refused to go to the hospital in particular. The proportion of aging in the modern society is getting higher and higher, and the crisis of the elderly cannot be ignored. It is not only the concern of health and life, but also the psychological demands of the elderly that deserve attention. The quality of psychological quality directly affects the elderly. People's health, "accompanying is the longest confession of love", when the sun sets, it is the golden pond on that side.
