"The Savages" . It turns out that the Hong Kong translation of "The Savages" is really ugly. . But it is true that the whole film is Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney two people carrying the banner. It is almost just to see their acting skills. The
story is actually very interesting. The elderly father in Arizona suffers from Alzheimer’s, its An elderly girlfriend who had lived together for more than 20 years suddenly passed away. Wendy (Laura Linney) and Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman) live in New York and Buffalo, New York respectively. The younger sister works in drama, and the older brother is a university professor of philosophy (drama and social studies). They seldom contacted their father. This time the two took on the responsibilities of their children, brought their father to Buffalo, and arranged for him to enter the nursing home. The
almost two-hour movie is about this period of brothers and sisters taking care of their elderly father. Days: Entering and leaving homes for the elderly, taking fathers to interviews in nursing homes with better equipment, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone has their own troubles and frustrations in life, plus the big changes that fathers have to face, only brothers and sisters Support each other.
Jon's work is still going well, so that the Polish borrowed girlfriend can stay with her, but he refuses to marry her. Wendy has been entangled with the married man for a long time, and when he is frustrated, his boyfriend is always his spiritual support.
Sometimes this kind of film It’s also good to watch at home. It feels warmer when you’re wrapped in a quilt on the sofa. The
movie is worth watching. I
don’t have a preference for lava lamp, but I am very impressed with the lava lamp in the film. My daughter bought a lava lamp for it. The father in the nursing home, the father asked what he wanted to do. "Nothing, I think it's just something nice to look at." Yes, the dull bedroom, watching the days go by, it’s a bit bright and moving Something is in front of us, which may give people a little hope.
Postscript: Do you remember Paris Je t'aime that awful French woman? She has a cameo. :)
