2010-August 29 "The Lonely Man"

After watching this movie, there will be a faint pain in my heart, what do you want to pursue in life? One is the moon and the other is the sun. It is destined to not be able to have both at the same time. One step forward is where the lights are dim, and one step back is when the sea is calm. There is no absolute good or absolute wrong. Which life you choose is entirely up to you, go left. , go to the right, what if money, desire, fame and family make a choice? Make up your own mind. Everyone has moments of loneliness and hard to tell, even now, I still feel the loneliness in my heart, how many nights, I don't know who to talk to, look at the moonlight, only tears are answering. It's hard to tell exactly what kind of mentality I have when I fool around. I only know that sometimes I just want someone to lie beside me to prove that I am not alone. Maybe people who have lived a rough life understand in their hearts that seeing prosperity is like a smoke. After being as beautiful, it is even more terrifying. The magic power of a woman's hot body can't stay for too long. It is more to fill the emptiness and loneliness of the soul and prove some of their worth. The loneliness after a moment brings thinking to the brain Even more Goldbach, how to be happy to maintain a longer heartbeat? Is this kind of mentality necessary? Or do you want to be drunk at the moment? Lonely people, lonely inside.

How about this movie. . I always feel bad, it could have been an amazing film. . . It's a pity, just like the old Douglas, there is more than enough power. Your own life path is your own choice, self-righteousness will only lead to self-defeating. This piece is all about Jesse Eisenberg. . . Although he played very little

No.13 The film itself may not have high artistic value, but Douglas played really well in the state of old age and losing power.

[last lines]
Nancy Kalmen: When was the first time that a doctor sent you for a heart scan? Hospital called you. Called your daughter.
Ben Kalmen: Uh, Dr. Steinberg ordered up that test about six and a half years ago.
Nancy Kalmen: And how long after that did you start cheating?
Ben Kalmen: That day.
Nancy Kalmen: And you never went back to have the test done, did you?
Ben Kalmen: No. Cant use that as an excuse though. It was a factor. But, uh, you know, things were building up.
Nancy Kalmen: Building up?
Ben Kalmen: Yeah. I was becoming invisible.
Nancy Kalmen: [confused] Invisible?
Ben Kalmen: Look, thirty years ago I would walk into a room, that room would change just because I was there. It was, you know, I was a graduate, self-made man, great shape. I had the TV commercials, all that stuff. I remember. I was right next to the camera when you shot them. You know what it was like back then, I was a lion. That's how people looked at me. But then, you know, things started to change. And over the, uh, past ten or twelve years, I'd walk into a room and only old people noticed me, they knew who I am. And to everybody else Im invisible.
Nancy Kalmen: You were never invisible to me.
Ben Kalmen: Well, that doesnt count because you were my wife.
Nancy Kalmen: Oh? Well. You know what, Benny? If you're lucky, that's what happens. You get old.
Ben Kalmen: No, I accept it's biological. I just don't accept that it happened to me. So, when, uh, Steinberg said he thought he saw something on the EKG, I got nervous. And when he called up the heart scan, uh, to see if there was any blockage. I had every intention of walking out of his office and going right there to check on it. But instead? Instead I went into a bar and grill on Lexington Avenue had a couple of pops to calm down and, uh, I picked up the first young girl who said yes and took her back to a suite at the Carlyle.
Nancy Kalmen: And what did that do for you?
Ben Kalmen: The truth...? It did plenty. See, I figured you'd see it on my face, you'd know straight off. But you didnt. You didn't say anything, you know. So, I kept right on going. And then, uh, you know, awhile after that Im up in my shop at white plains looking at the books. And I say to myself, why should I be New York's honest car dealer? Then again, nobody said anything. Nothing for years. But you know, I, I still don't understand why you... you didn't go back and have the test just to make sure. I'm gonna go to a doctor and give him that kind of power? The, the when, the where and the how? There's no, theres no way. You know what its like when we get our age. The best thing a doctor can say is, uh, well, "Oh, the survival rate is high"... or, uh, "it''s a good cancer", or... uh, hey, you know, no problem. "We got it early." I dont wanna hear any of that. And I wasn't gonna go get some of those, uh... those, those beta blockers and all that crap that slow you down and level you out. I was gonna live my life the way I wanted to until the fucking thing in my heart exploded.
Nancy Kalmen: But you cant cheat death, Benny. Nobody can, no matter how many 19-year-olds you talk into your bed.
Ben Kalmen: I know that. I know that now.
Nancy Kalmen: Well... my car's parked over there. And I'd be happy to drive you back to New York City... if you're ready. Take a few minutes and you decide what you really want.

Susan Porter: You're gonna be okay.
Ben Kalmen: You came to see me?
Susan Porter: Yeah.
Ben Kalmen: You're gold, Suse. You're... pure gold.
