After Elder Redford starred in "Soul of the Night" with Jane Fonda last year, he surprised the world for their dedication and immortality. Also at the 74th Venice Film Festival last year, the two were awarded lifetime achievements.

Surprisingly, this year he took the lead in "The Old Man and the Gun". The protagonist in David Lowery's "The Old Man and the Gun" is deceptive. It tells the story of a man so cute and gentleman that the teller and bank manager naturally gave him their money when he carried out one of the most notorious robberies in American history. This is a love letter to movie legends, and it provides the perfect last movie for those who have already surpassed the mere actor status and become idols.

Robert Redford, who became a legend, pointed out that "The Old Man & Gun" was his last movie. He wanted his smile and twinkling eyes to give his last energy before he could do nothing. Redford treats the film as a natural extension of some of his most popular roles.

The protagonist of the movie, Forrest Tucker , has been sentenced to life imprisonment 18 times. He has escaped from prison many times since he was 15 years old. He was arrested and brought to justice at the end of his criminal career. At that time, his name as a gentleman and robber made the locals panic. During the robbery, he usually walked into the bank and opened his jacket casually, exposing the two guns inside to point at the teller, asking the bank to hand over the money. He will comfort the crying tellers and encourage them to work. Forrest Tucker ’s weapon for bank robbery is not his two guns in his jacket, but the blue eyes and the calm, gentleman charm. The highest level of bank robbery is How about this.

On the way to escape, he met Jewel. Jewel’s car broke down on the road. Forrest lent Jewel to repair the car as a cover and fooled the police to chase. Forrest fell in love with Jewel and even told Jewel his true identity. But Jewel didn't believe it. The two had dinner together and sat chatting. Even if you just watch them talking and laughing, you can watch them for hours, and they make things look effortless.

This is a story about legend. When you think about this movie in the future. It will be a dialogue, or a charming image of Redford, or Spike’s laughter, or Affleck’s attitude. This will be one of those movies that keep sneaking into your memory. Just like Forrest, refuse to leave. Just like Radford, it's unforgettable.
