[How did the little turtle grow up] Can it be said that this is a small and fresh literary film for the elderly? The color and texture of the whole film are more like telling a fairy tale about love at dusk, which is warm and funny.

Mr. Hoppy, played by Dustin Hoffman, used to live a leisurely retirement life, his only pleasure was tending the flowers and plants on the balcony. But he was introverted and inarticulate, but he was hopelessly in love with Mrs. Silver downstairs. To help her fulfill her wish to double the size of her pet turtle in a month, she came up with a wildly adventurous idea.

Mrs. Silver, played by Judi Dench, is lovely, and her everyday life is as bright and colorful as the colors of her favorite clothes. Wrinkled but dazzlingly beautiful, this should be what the beauty teacher said, "When you get old, you must be an elegant and beautiful old lady, and let others envy and hate it". It was just the look in her eyes when she spoke to a little turtle that revealed her little secret of loneliness.

Mr. Hoppy's balcony is not only beautiful, but also has an ingenious mechanism. He spent a lot of thought in it, a person who is busy in his own little world and enjoys it, his heart is rich and peaceful.

Why did Mrs. Silver choose the little turtle as her pet? This is more like a metaphor. The small fish has raised a turtle before. Even if the turtle clearly wants to get close to you, when you touch it, it will shrink its head into its shell and will not move. But if you don't care about it, it will slowly stick out its head and approach you, the direction is clear and firm, and it will not change easily.

    160325.. I didn’t know how many times I watched this film with her that day, and she was moved to cry while watching it. I didn’t even laugh at it. She said that she watched few films, but when the plot reversed at the end, she was so moved that she gradually stopped doing it. The sound was even laughed at by her. . But I can't help it. Now that I think about it, I still feel that I have to recommend this little turtle teaser film :). .

    Very interesting movie, very warm and loving! Three and a half is the ideal score. Looking for a fat man to read the monologue is completely redundant, and the environmental effects can be seen to be a bit fake.
