Let's hold hands and grow old together

A very warm film.
The story is simple: two lovely old people returned to the "Golden Pond" where they lived when they were young after retirement. The old man's health is getting worse and worse. He often calls the people around him by the wrong name and gets lost in the forest that was once so familiar. Here, he secretly feels frustrated that his general is getting old, but still shows a stubborn look that I can do everything.
The old lady played by Catherine Hepburn is the best kind of old lady. The word lively and cute is not inappropriate for her in her 70s. She will tease the poor with the old man with a quick mouth, and sing alone in the forest. When my daughter keeps complaining about her father, she will tell her sternly: Dad actually loves you very much.
Everyone will get old. When we were young, we always resisted admitting this. At that time, we were always full of strength. Looking at the beautiful self in the mirror, we often felt that the world was very beautiful. At this time, no one wants to admit it. The youthful face in Zhong will climb up wrinkles, the hair will become less and less, and the eyes will gradually lose their luster. How should we live when we are old? "Golden Pond" gave me a good answer.
If you can hold hands and age beautifully like the old couple in the film, aging seems less frightening.
PS: The acting skills of the two old dramas are very good!

On Golden Pond quotes

  • Billy Ray: A canoe! Just like the Indians used.

    Norman: Actually, the Indians used a different grade of aluminum.

  • Bill Ray: You're having a good time, aren't you?

    Norman: Huh?

    Bill Ray: Chelsea told me all about how you like to have a good old time with people's heads. She does too, sometimes. Sometimes I can get into it and sometimes not. I think you should know, I'm pretty good at recognizing crap when I hear it. You know, it's not imperative that you and I become friends. I thought it would be nice. I'm sure you're a very fascinating person, and I thought it would be fascinating getting to know you. That's obviously not an easy task... No. You just go ahead and be... as poopy as you want, to quote Chelsea, and I'll be as receptive and as pleasant as I can be. But I want you to bear one thing in mind while you're jerking me around, making me feel like an asshole. I know precisely what you're up to. I'll take just so much of it. Ok?... Now what is the bottom line on this illicit sex question?

    Norman: Very good. That was a good speech. Bottom line, huh? You're a bottom line man? All right, here's the bottom line... Okay.

    Bill Ray: Hm?

    Norman: You seem like a nice man. A bit verbose, but nice...

    Bill Ray: Thank you.

    Norman: ...and you're right about me. I am fascinating.

    Bill Ray: I'm sure you are.

    Norman: Let's get back to talking about sex... anything you want to know, just ask me.

    Bill Ray: No, I just... uh, I just wanted to clear up that little question. Chelsea and I can sleep together, right?

    Norman: Sure, please do.

    Norman: Just don't let Ethel catch you.
