Wise old man Irv

Maybe we can't evaluate a film with too harsh eyes. After all, there are only a few people who can make the whole film wonderful. Just like our life, our friends, our work, and everything we have experienced are not 100% perfect. Although the first half is full of complaints and bad characters and environments, since the appearance of Irv, the wise old man, everything has been sunny and beautiful. After the car accident, all the members of the tour group did not have any dissatisfaction or complaints against the tour guide and driver. On the contrary, it also shows the tolerance of the lovely old man under the moon. The part of the gods is an extremely American way of expression. Irv, who pretends to be the gods, answers the confusion of the tour group members, just a word, everyone is happy, warm. If there are such opportunities in life, of course it is wonderful. Although a movie is a movie, fiction actually gives us a perspective to change our attitude. It is not impossible to exist only on the screen. Change, you can bring the wisdom to life.
Btw, the scenery of Greece is still good.

    Greece is so beautiful, this kind of love scene movie makes me feel good~~ The female lead starred in my grand Greek wedding, which is so old, this one is okay, almost fifty years old and well maintained~~~

My Life in Ruins quotes

  • Irv: [as the group gathers outside of the church] You know, my wife and I have taken tours for 20 years. This one gotta be the worst.

    Georgia: Here we go again. Yeah, yeah, I know, yeah, I stink, I wrecked Greece.

    Irv: [sadly as he walks past her] It's the worst because my wife is not here. And it's just not the same.

    Georgia: Well, you know what? If I were her, I wouldn't be here with you either. I'm sure she's spending her vacation somewhere...

    [stops as his face turns down, mortified as she realizes what he meant]

    Georgia: I'm so sorry.

  • Poupi Kakas: What was his name?

    Georgia: Who?

    Poupi Kakas: it's over, some women cut their hair. Some women run away to Greece. So...

    Georgia: I did not move to Greece because of some man. Why? Who'd you shave for?
