Over half a century of warmth

Elmo 2022-03-27 08:01:01

The 2 actors who are 120 years old together bring us a still warm and moving movie. In addition to love, what is more important is the mutual understanding that goes straight to the bottom of the heart. The subtle, subtle, forbearance, and resistance between harvey and kate, not strong and unrestrained but tenacious and attractive to each other, reminds me of what she said last time when I was hanging out with M in Houhai: I believe that people of any age can fall in love. At that time, I looked at her and answered without hesitation: I believe.


In the film, Hoffman and Emma only need walking, talking, and reading to express the beauty of harmony and flatness. Just as in the interview, Emma said that what attracted her to the director was: the director is one of the few who interprets love warmly and beautifully. , I don't know if the director is completely naive, or he lacks a kind of irony gene that ordinary people are born with.

Everyone has dreams, but it is in childhood when you tell your dreams. If you still have someone in your 40s and 50s who wants to listen to your wishes, and you are willing to tell this person your wishes without reservation, then this person should Just the one you like. Kate said that if she can do what she likes one day, she will go to Europe, Spain, and write in a small cabin in the interior. The cabin faces the plain, there is a stream beside the house, and there is a bathtub in the house. Hoffman asks: No shower? Emma said with certainty: No, it is the original pastoral style. Hoffman thought about it for a few seconds, as if he was going to experience it, and said: I will adapt, will you invite me? Kate turned around and faced harvey face to face, formally invited: harvey shine, invite you to come, both of them smile, the conversation between children happens to 2 people who are over 500 years old. This is the chemistry.

Emma's smile is sincere, friendly, and undefended. Perhaps because of this, the short Dustin will become dependent on the tall Emma. When attending his daughter's wedding, he insisted that Emma accompany him, because Emma can be around. Express your feelings for your daughter and family at the wedding. After the wedding, the two sat by the fountain and chatted. Kate said that he liked watching the children playing in the fountain. In the past two summers, there was a fountain in the holiday inn square. I also liked watching the children laugh and scream happily in the water column of the fountain. harvey shine - the first person in Kate's 40-plus years of life who stayed up all night and kissed goodbye beside the fountain. Before she turned to leave, she read out his full name again, as if to engrave him in her heart deeply in her memory inside. (I always have the illusion that the two actors are laughing in this scene)

Harvey is sitting outside waiting for Kate to finish class. Behind him is a piece of tall grass withered and yellow like reeds. It is late autumn. Looking at the picture makes me look forward to the coming of autumn. I can almost imagine that autumn is warm and not scorching hot from the sun. The temperature of the sweater on her body made her sleepy

even though kate burst into tears when harvey's unromantic confession at the end of the film: I think I'm more comfortable living in | Staying in disappointment, she is afraid of facing the pain of losing love It hurts, but Harvey's quiet and firm eyes make her willing to let go of her worries and try again bravely. So, even if you are afraid of going through another heart-wrenching pain in the future (most likely not as intense as the first time), when this person smiles at you and says firmly: i promise. Take a risk then. 40 years old, what else to lose? It is the last chance for each other. Whether it is to realize a dream or find the other half.
