This is a movie about how to age.
When you are old, the years make your body extremely vulnerable to injury. You should be a health care old man like Babu. Everything about eating, bathing, blood pressure, and seeing a doctor is stereotyped. Use programming to create a barrier for your health. , I’m still as free and easy as Dartley, go out when I want to go out, listen to songs when I want to listen to songs, dance when I want to dance, and sway the time of life with freedom.
Seventy-five-year-old Babu lived like a seventy-five-year-old man, and a 102-year-old father lived like a twenty-eight-year-old boy.
The movie tells you the answer is very simple. Naturally, it must be like the handsome Datley, who lives as a flowing landscape, not like the rigid Datley. Every day repeats yesterday and lives to be five hundred years old. It's as if only one day alive.
Everyone knows the great principles, and it is the hardest thing to do.
How to do it, two answers are given in the movie:
One is to laugh at loss.
The most emotional part of the movie is that in order to complete the task assigned by his father, Babu walked through the concrete airplane he used to play as a child in one day, and briefly recalled the happy time of childhood, and then came to the child to like it. I missed the family happiness of the past for a while, then went to my wife’s favorite cake shop, and finally took the carriage to remember the happiest time with my wife.
The stereotypical Babu gave the cake to the people, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
This scene makes people sigh. It turns out that the happiness of a person's life is so short, and I still don't know it. Once I get old, I remember it, but there are only a few scenic spots and a few past events.
Getting old means losing. Babu lost his childhood, lost his innocent son (in exchange for the son of the power and ambition), and lost his beloved wife.
When we grow old, we must think about how to face loss.
Babu's choice is to immerse himself in it and cannot extricate himself. Dartley has also suffered. In his narration, he also refused to make crazy phone calls for his grandson when Babu's wife died, and was heartbroken. After the sadness, he said that since the loss cannot be controlled, why don't I smile at the loss.
Wife is gone, you can use a love letter to send your thoughts, you can use the most nasty words to imprint time with love, and make lonely days full of sweetness. You don't have to make yourself so embarrassed, as if you are a defeated opponent of the years.
With the absurd act of sending his son to a nursing home, Dartley evoked the passion of Bab’s heart step by step by assigning tasks to his son, and finally gave Bab the courage to tear down the blanket of psychological dependence and tell him that when you are old , Don’t follow the old fashioned way, some things should be given up.
Facing loss is easy, because it is helpless, but it is the most difficult to take the initiative to give up.
So the second point is to be able to give up actively.
Babu can give up the most beloved blanket, but he can't give up the extra affection.
He couldn't face the fact that his son was already a white-eyed wolf. He couldn't believe that his innocent and lovely son was gone forever. He would rather be deceived to meet his son.
Dartley's ultimate goal is to make him face reality and not be fooled by the hypocrisy of the white-eyed wolf.
Dartley resolutely hid his grandson's flowers when celebrating Babu's birthday, turned off the phone for Babu, and unplugged the phone line secretly. Then he told Babu the next day that his purpose was not to think about unhappy things on his birthday.
But what should I do if I am not happy?
Dartley's method is to cut off the affection like cutting the torn blanket.
In the end, under the guidance of a 102-year-old dad, the 75-year-old son became a brave man in life and learned how to defeat the years with freedom. He took over his father's ideals and wanted to live out the Guinness World Records.
There is no major production of the whole movie, nor the large-scale singing and dancing that are common in Indian movies.
The seemingly simple plot is fascinating. The rivalry between father and son is sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, and sometimes tearful. Although they are both grandparents, they are between seventy-five and one hundred and two. There is a lot of affection between father and son, Dartley said, "I won't let your son bully my son." It sounds majestic with fatherly love, but it tastes a bit funny. Thinking about it, it’s a bit sad, especially when the last It was very moving when Dad told me where his hard work was.
But even if it is taken away by time, it doesn’t matter, because the old man has passed his magic weapon to his son, that is a free and easy life. When he asks Bab to whistle for him on his deathbed, it means telling Years, I am not old, nor is my son.
You can take me away, you can't beat me.
