Golden Dusk [Oldness is Dusk, Love is Golden]
Along with the soothing piano music, and the scenery of Belgrade's lakes and mountains, everyone's heart swayed with calm ripples. Life is like this slow music and grass, showing the meaning of indifference.
From the beginning to the end, the golden pond is filled with the smell of a light fluttering. Little jokes every now and then, little friction without the smell of gunpowder. The grumpy old professor Norman, the ever-cheerful Essel. The completely different tempers collided with each other until the twilight years of love.
Actor Henry Fonda, who played Norman, died a year after filming at Golden Pond. He was seriously ill when he performed Golden Pond. So when I see Fonda's accurate understanding of Norman's twilight years and accurate performance in the film, I often feel a sense of sympathy in my heart.
If the whole film is briefly described, it is more of a story between Norman and his daughter Chelsea or his daughter's husband's son Billy. The love between Norman and Essel is so natural, like the piano music played from time to time in the movie, like every grass and every tree on the Belgrade Lake, withering and growing.
The twilight of life is an inevitable experience. They are struggling or calm, but they composed the most beautiful concerto.
I am addicted to Hollywood commercial blockbusters. If I don't have the opportunity, I may never watch such movies in my life. Thanks to God, I finally saw such a movie by coincidence or not.
The old protagonist, the natural beauty. Catherine, the most successful actress in film history. Hepburn and Henry Fonda, the perfect partner, won the Oscar for best actor and actress that year. The natural scenery is not the background for the background, the scenery is inadvertently displayed in every detail, full of insects and birds, green trees and flowers in the film space. What a wonderful fusion.
This golden pond, this golden sunset. The love between Essel and Norman is as grassy as the air in the woods, plain and firm. They hug each other, or laugh at each other, and everyone who watches the movie seems to feel the passage of time from their mutual understanding. Fleeting away is a matter of course, so people can't ignore it, so they have to accept it calmly.
Life at dusk is like a piano piece, light, indescribably relaxed and wistful, like an old man's stubborn temper and occasionally blank eyes.
This is love that brings joy from the heart. When they wrap around each other's waists and appear by the beautiful golden pond at the end of the film in their 70s and nearly 70s, the twilight of life is also shrouded in gold.
I also secretly wished that neither of them would leave, but as Essel said, "the death , it feels odd, cold I guess, but not that bad, a kind of comforting".
