Forget who said it, when you can't accept new things, you're old. People's life is always growing: 20-year-old life is 20-year-old, 30-year-old is 30-year-old wonderful, just as Annie's husband said in the movie: "Yorkshire summer, like a Yorkshire woman, every stage. The growth is more beautiful than the previous stage." Her husband died of blood cancer, Annie's grief was hidden in her heart but she continued her love into her life. My good friend Chris suggested to make a naked calendar to raise money, at least for the hospital's Change to a sofa in the family lounge.
There are many characters in the movie, but Annie's love for her husband should be a hidden thread that runs through and guides the events.
People who have love in their hearts are especially beautiful. Taking pictures is normal. However, taking nude artistic photos has a great psychological barrier for several women. Some people are not confident in their body shape, some are worried about the gender of the photographer, and there are various other reasons, but in the end They all stood in front of the camera bravely and naturally. When the extremely life-like photos were developed, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect how beautiful and beautiful they could be at this age.
With loved ones around, life is as beautiful as summer flowers. Unexpectedly, their calendars sold so well that every day there were a lot of reporters around the door to interview, the original peaceful life was replaced by noise, and even the words that Chris' husband accidentally said were included in the newspaper. From unknown to nationally known, and even invited to Hollywood, the changes in life are bit by bit. With Annie's reminder, Chris understood that family love was irreplaceable, and she took the initiative to apologize for the careless neglect of her husband and son.
Those who know how to love will never forget their original intentions and go astray. When Chris and a group of people are invited by the director to shoot a nude laundry detergent commercial, Annie walks out angrily. She told Chris earnestly on the street, "If I could buy time with my dead husband, I would take every penny raised on the calendar." Some things money can't buy.
Sometimes it is often you who give up your life, rather than life throwing you away. Annie and Chris have completely different personalities: the former is reserved and docile, the latter is straightforward and full of ideas. Caring for each other and reminding each other. But in any case, the film has created two distinct personalities, but equally loving life. From this point of view, I personally prefer this kind of film, with a few touches of color in the lightness, and still a straight smile in the sadness. The director is very good at expressing some connotations in words. People's seemingly simple conversations and speeches are all enlightened life philosophies. Probably because Calendar Girl is based on a true story, all of which feel very real, like what happened around them. There's no need to think too much, or wait for the plot to develop with bated breath.
Even if he is old, he still retains his innocence; even if it is difficult, the corners of his mouth are still raised. Life is beautiful and splendid regardless of age.
