How cool an old man can be

My friend Zhang went to the room and told me more than once that when I am old, if I am not cool, I will commit suicide. I don't know what he thinks, but I want to make myself cooler. But I can understand his mood. Which man doesn't want to be cool? If the older you are, the more you look like Chen Kun, like a slack lady, it's better to die. I imagined that 40 years later, when I entered the old age, my hair and teeth were broken, and his facial wrinkles were vertical and horizontal. His coolness can only be expressed through words and actions, but what it should look like, my imagination is not. Powerless. It wasn't until I watched Old Cowboy Eastwood's "Classic Cars" that I suddenly realized that being an old man can be so cool. If Zhang Shangfang took this old man as a role model in his old age, that would be okay.

Eastwood in "Classic Cars" is indeed old enough. He was born in 1930, and by 2008, he was 78 years old. When he was young, he was definitely a cool guy. In "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", his nickname is the Blond Boy, and there is no doubt that he is the most handsome man in the film. His eyebrows were pressed against his eyes, his eyes were deep and calm, and he always had a cigarette in his mouth. When he was thinking about things, he took a couple of mouthfuls. Such a tough image may be seen often, but it is really rare to let a man stay like this for the rest of his life. Eastwood did it. He was hard for a lifetime, and he also made a lifetime of hard movies (except for "The Bridge of Madison County", of course). This person is really a role model among men.

Eastwood was tall, 1.93 meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, and he was extremely majestic. When he was 78 years old, he was not exhausted at all. In "Classic Cars", he looks like an old man who is not easy to mess with from the outside. Not to mention his temper is quite big. When seeing things that are not pleasing to the eye, his throat will make a low roar, just like a big cat. With a strong appearance, coupled with a fierce temper, it is hard for such an old man not to be cool. "Classic Cars" is like a movie tailored by Eastwood for himself. He played the cool old man, just like himself, basically playing in his true colors. He himself once said that my temper is really similar to that bad old man, but I have rarely cursed people so mercilessly.

The old man in "Classic Cars" has a dead wife and is alone, accompanied by an old dog. He would rather be alone than be with people he doesn't like. He hates sons, grandsons, granddaughters, and Hmong neighbors. The only thing he liked and regarded as a treasure was a classic car as old as him. He has his own outlook on life, of course, this has nothing to do with his early experience. He worked as a worker, served as a soldier in South Korea, and killed some Koreans, including Korean teenagers. Now there is a word called angry youth, and when put on him, it means angry old. This angry old man is even more angry than the angry young man. He likes to speak dirty words, as if there is no dirty word in a sentence, it will be uncomfortable. If he can't understand something or someone, he will spit at the other person.

It is not easy for an old man to be so cool as he is, not to mention that he will be more authentic from time to time. He has a gun, an old rifle, and a small pistol. It makes me envious. Although I am young, I don't have a gun. When I grow up so old, I haven't even touched a real gun. I've seen it a few times like a horse. The old man would hold his gun and make two gestures from time to time. He is definitely not trying to embolden himself. You can't figure out when he will shoot. He is like an impulsive young man.

The coolest thing about this old man is that he is not afraid of death. When I got sick, I went to the hospital and found that my favorite doctor had retired, and he simply refused treatment. Finally, the old man went to his death generously. This can make many old people who are greedy and fearful of death embarrassed! In the park opposite my home, those old people who keep exercising every day and do their best to postpone the time of death, what energy do you have in your life?
