The elderly in the nursing home all have their stories. Once they were outside, but now they huddled in a small room and looked out the window alone. The movie uses a new old man, Emilo, as a vision to take us a peek at this nursing home, where the story begins. Old people are so old that their teeth are falling out, some are physically disabled, some are still walking fast, and here they have nothing but solidarity and time spent in their daily activities. For them, there is only wasted time, but what about the family? Maybe I miss you very much, but there is only limited time for visiting, only greetings, and even no appreciation. Children also have their own lives. In fact, the elderly understand that life is pressing, and entering a nursing home is also a compromise. The children thought that was the best choice for the old man, but the old man found his inner uneasiness in that place and accepted everything there again.
The film is dedicated to the old people of the past, present, and future, and yes, we will all grow old one day. Maybe one day we will have children and will be sent to the nursing home by our children. One day, we forget things. One day we got sick. Self-esteem is important, and so is caring. At least this movie reminds us to hold on to the person in front of us, one day our parents are getting old. We are all children and there will definitely be resonance. The play is good at describing the psychology of the elderly, their loneliness, imagination, and the relationship between them. Joy and sorrow, everyone has their own unique story, where they all have a past. Old age also has to have self-confidence, self-esteem and self-care ability, where life is to learn to unite and help each other. Only in this way can there be a touch of humanity, a normal social life, and not be unhappy all day long.
Although the nursing home has regular activities, the elderly also have depression and loneliness in their hearts. What is the meaning of life in this world? The meaning of this moment for the elderly is to find and affirm themselves. There are many stories in the nursing home, the poignant stories and romantic journeys that they once loved, but now they can only reminisce about the past. Since the reality is cruel, it would be nice to go back to the past and relax once in a while. Illness is unavoidable, you can only walk around and try to live today without thinking about tomorrow.
The protagonist Emilo gradually discovers that he is forgetful and suffers from dementia. Originally, his roommate was a bad person in the institution, stealing, err, abducting, but behind his well-meaning lies there was a happy effect. But in some things, he also found that this person has a good side. Everyone has their own worries, and they have lost their sense of existence because of their own environment. In this movie, we see what responsibility is, the responsibility of children, the responsibility of communication, and the responsibility of dealing with people. Some things are just human nature, nothing more than reasonable. As a child, you should not cherish the days when your parents are still alive, chat with them more, and listen to their inner world.
The old people in the film, like Ah Q, protect and take care of each other, forming a group. Make fun of each other, love each other. The cartoon shows a warm, pleasing side that makes the audience feel the presence of love. These old people are not only classmates, but also gradually become family members. There are also some advantages to showing this heavy theme in cartoons, that is, there is less real cruelty in the look and feel, cartoons can have more imagination and extension, and the way of expression can be more flexible and interesting.
The film's meaning is concise and makes people reflect on family. It is sad to have a child who wants to support but his parents are not there. Parents will leave one day, and they must face the hardships of life together in addition to cherishing them. It is very important to have more empathy and patience. The elderly need care and support to support them in living out their own lives. "Happy Wrinkles" is an animation for adults, it is fate, it is also sad and sigh, and this Spanish animation is also quite engaging and thought-provoking, and life is just like that.
