"Big Hope Hot Springs" is such a movie, not necessarily stunning but touching enough. Its theme is love-the love of the elderly. Its tone is relaxed-romantic and warm tone. There are not many movies about the love of the elderly, but they are definitely not rare. A couple of old couples want to rediscover the "passion-burning years", which in itself is a subject that is easy to touch with a smile. The G point of the film is based on the question of how the old couple "awkwardly" face "marital sex".
Kay, played by Meryl Streep, eager to be touched by her husband, brought in marriage expert Steve Carell to try to solve their couple's emotional problems through psychological counseling. It can be said that the dredging process was difficult at the beginning. As an elderly family-oriented woman, Kay has always been dodging and embarrassed about Steve's questions about "marital sex"; husband Arnold, played by Tommy Lee Jones, also made frequent attempts at the beginning. Negative behavior: first face Steve in a casual manner with half humor and half irony, then change the subject again and again when Steve talks about ML, and finally, Steve is "in an inch" to closely follow the small universe It broke out, and greeted Steve together: "You bastard!" When the film is the most funny, it happens in every match between the three of them.
Just like Steve said of Arnold, why is Arnold so angry? What is Arnold afraid of? The answer is actually obvious. We can imagine how awkward a person would be when someone asked too much about his ML. Besides, he was an old man. One can imagine how anxious grandpa is! But "Big Hope Hot Springs" is a comedy, and its ending can only be beautiful. When they all changed their previous closed views on "couple sex", the relationship between husband and wife took a turn for the better. The film uses some few but refined romantic elements to depict the old couple regaining their passion: dating in a western restaurant; watching a movie together; opening a room. Yes, these are the basic steps that almost all young people will take when they fall in love, and the "Big Hope Hot Spring" gives two elderly people such a fashionable love relationship. I have to sigh: "Really A lovely old couple!" In addition to
the interesting story, this film is also a "eye-catching and pleasing" movie. The picture is rich in color and full-bodied; the soundtrack includes fashionable, modern pop music, retro jazz music, oh, and the song he and Arnold played before ML, the legendary "I want to fall in love as soon as I hear it"— -Al Green's classic Soul love song "Let's Stay Together". So although it is an American movie, the sentimental romantic elegance exuded by "Big Hope Hot Springs" often gives people the feeling of watching French films, which is definitely worth watching for romantics.
Nowadays, in the film industry, the acting sect of the year always likes to gag in some comedies, such as Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro. Throughout Aunt Mei’s acting career, she has indeed not appeared in many comedies, and serious movies like "Child Abuse Suspect" are her favorites. Among the movies since 2000, "Big Hope Hot Springs" is the second film that made me think Aunt Mei is like a "little girl". The first one is "Love Is Very Complicated" a few years ago-a happy woman who was scrambled by two "old urchins". But Aunt Mei in "Love" always has the intellectual taste of a mature woman, not as good as Kai in this film, which makes people feel "kind and cute". The shy expression when facing the problem of "sex", the small mouth when he was angry with her husband, and the tearful look in his heart... Ouch, it's so cute, just like a young girl who has just started to love it, Aunt Mei Which one of his performances was disappointing? Tommy Lee Jones-our "K", unsmiling + black humor, in terms of image, "K" playing this role is quite convincing, but I would like my favorite Dongmu father eastwood to play this role- -There should be more "smiles".
It is a good choice to watch a warm movie like "Big Hope Hot Springs" when you feel tired. It is far more romantic than it looks. Have you seen Aunt Mei in a wedding dress? If not, go watch this movie.
