As far as my own feelings are concerned, this is a movie that makes me feel calm after watching the day, and will cry afterwards.
Uncle Ben asked Joey "Do you know what love is?", the boy's first reaction replied, "I am not gay", I guess this is the director's question.
When they were wronged, they would look for their separated spouse in spite of the heavy rain. George asked Ben, "Did you blame me for this?" Ben said, "Never." At that time, their lives had already gone into embarrassment because of George's unemployment.
George calmly told the handsome young people at the noisy party, "My 39-year lover and I are looking for cheap rent accommodation."
The two uncles got help unexpectedly and happily went to the bar to drink, one scheming to cheat and the other happily cheering, and talking about the scandals of their youth, the two laughed, and the words spoke lightly. Personal feelings also had problems, and the last two reluctantly said goodbye at the subway entrance.
In the next shot, I thought it would be two people moving to a new home, and life returned to the warmth of the past, and the story turned particularly good. Uncle’s life became clearer and clearer, and my mood fell from the clouds to the ground. This is impermanence. This is reality. The two have been in love for decades, and they can’t escape the time when someone wants to say goodbye first, but fortunately, there are long-lasting memories and his unfinished creations, and the living people have real spiritual support.
In the end, 16-year-old Joey understood what love is, and the director answered his own question.
I like Uncle Ben's posthumous works, the pure white boy in his eyes and the infinite scenery on the roof are all the beauty that the old man retains to life. Thank you for the precise interpretation of the two old drama bones. They do not leave a trace of complaints about life and others. I feel the restraint and deep love between the two. This relationship has both immediate gratitude and distance that they like, even if one People like romantic rendering, one likes the original emotions, two people seek common ground while reserving differences, so they walked peacefully and happily together.
How many 40 years can life be? Love is like the little things in the world, but so.
