Marriage is the tomb of love. This is an old saying and a concept that many people believe in. Many people now believe that in the end of marriage, love turns into family affection, and lovers become family members to help each other out. In real life, it seems to be staged according to this script. The longer the marriage, the taste of love seems to become weaker and weaker, and the taste of pots and pans, rice, oil, and salt becomes stronger and stronger. When you are old, Hefa chicken skin replaces the youthful beauty, and even the endless sex life of the year has become a possibility. Things that can't even be forbidden, like the old couple in the American movie "Hope Hot Springs", even sleeping in the same bed with each other has become intolerable.

If both husband and wife are able to deal with the above situation calmly, they may be able to live in peace and pass the day like a glass of water. But if one of the partners is not satisfied with this kind of marital status, and there is still a little pursuit of love in the past, then contradictions will inevitably arise, marriage will inevitably have problems, the red light will light up, and the phrase "plainness is true" becomes a sentence shit. In fact, who would really want to live a life in plain life? The so-called "plainness is true", to a large extent, is actually a helpless sigh of ordinary life.

The problem has arisen, so it must be solved. There are three ways to solve it: one is to endure it and continue to be flat; the other is to part ways and find passion in a new relationship; the third is to improve the situation, find a way to solve the problem, and awaken the previous love that was sleeping in the bottom of my heart. How to choose, each village has its own tricks, and in "Hope Hot Springs", the old couple who has cracked in the mirror chose three, so there is this story of searching for the past passion and the old tree sprouts. .

Marriage issues are diverse. Obviously, a 100-minute movie cannot cover everything. Therefore, "Hope Hot Springs" focuses on the sex life of elderly couples. This angle is undoubtedly easy to please the audience, but it is more difficult to come up with new meanings, because this is something that everyone knows, and it is nothing more than the old cliché of "the wife is old and waning, and the husband has no sex." But the screenwriter knows the difficulty, and gives this ordinary angle something different. Although the marriage of this old couple is very dull and there are rifts, but the feelings of each other are still there, so well, start from the technical level, let the doctor help them to solve the technical problems. So, in a sense, this movie is actually a basic treatment manual to save asexual marriages.

This film is called a comedy, but there are not many hilarious laughs, but people often smile or smile, and the comedy is more restrained. Under the guidance and inspiration of the serious doctor, the old couple, who only used the traditional "missionary style", completed the after-school homework assigned by the doctor one by one, step by step, developing the various comforts in their hearts. I suppressed sexual needs, pursued clumsily and tried hard to liberate my desires, tried, failed, tried again, failed again, and finally succeeded. Not only did the bed that had been separated for many years recombine, but the open mentality also revived love. vitality.

This 2012 movie is directed by David Frankle, director of "The Devil Wearing Prada", and starring in two old Hollywood dramas, Meryl Streep and Tom Lee Jones bone. In all fairness, the whole movie is a small production. If the scene is simple, the characters are simple, and the story is simple, if it is not for this cocky drama, it is not easy for people to sit down for 100 minutes. But these two old dramas are so wonderful and so superb that people can't find a pee point. A gesture of a hand, a gesture of a foot, and a look in the eyes are all addictive. Some movies are escorts, and some movies are escorts. This movie is an excellent example of escorts. It allows us to see how a slightly mediocre script is interpreted into a good film by the bones of two old dramas. . In this sense, this movie is actually an excellent performance textbook.

    This film is a typical example of "How BGM can ruin a good film". The music is down to the point of one and a half stars, but it can also be saved by the scripts of acting and nerve-knife that sometimes go off-line from time to time. return. Mei Gu completely subverts the image, at least it is worth a queen nomination oh dear! But why I'm kind of watching the old TBBT Leonard and Bernadette's kick-the accountant is as terrible as the polytechnic house...

    A 30-year-old can see the feelings of a 50-year-old, what love is said, life is just life, self-righteous, but they are just mundane mortals.

Hope Springs quotes

  • Kay: I hate golf. I do. I think it's boring. And watching it; that's even worse. It's like being married to ESPN or something. And when you eat ranch chips... your breath smells.
