"My talent has left me"
"We are all like this, this is life."
Like watching our height shrink, waistline widens, and prostate enlargement, the degree of disappointment we feel in ourselves as we grow older The number of times I get up at night to go to the bathroom is obviously proportional. Although we can still talk about salty and wet meat jokes and lust after the staff's tall and straight chests, unfortunately, we are only lustful. For a handsome old man who can't help but pee under a big tree at any time, no matter how well he can sing opera, he is just a handsome old man who can sing opera.
Yes, old man.
Talent is like an organ, its weakness and the old system organs in the old man's body change and grow, tormenting the physically and mentally exhausted old man to the point of being vulnerable. His face was tense and high-spirited, but even with a childlike appearance like Lin Zhiying, can you imagine that when he was seventy years old, he could still drive a racing car with a wrinkled face?
To be able to continue to burn enthusiasm for life even when you are old and degenerate is really a worthwhile life.
In the movie, one of the quartet, Qian Qian, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, said to Jane, the other lead singer, "What are you afraid of, coward, you won't have a good
old age." It's a thought-provoking sentence.
And Jane is the old lady who is afraid of her talent leaving.
Maggie Smith, the old showman, played her like a teenage girl, but she was about to lose her talent.
It is not easy to make movies about the elderly, and it is even more difficult to gain empathy for a group movie with an elderly person as the protagonist. What's more, Dustin Hoffman turned "Quartet" into a slow-paced and scenic manor movie. A group of elegantly dressed and talented old ladies retired from the music and opera circles to come to this "comparable to Tang". The exclusive old people's home of "Dun Manor", preparing one may be the last chance to perform in this life. The structure is very similar to the group of old people with stories in "Grand Hotel of Foreign Affairs", but in terms of elegance, these old men and women with music are really too elegant.
The old man's home is as beautiful as the manor. The old men and old ladies strictly abide by the strict dressing rules in Downton Abbey, that is, when they were young. The dressing gowns and evening dresses are not messy at all, and the suits are straighter than the noses of young people, making them old. The beautiful body is wrapped in fancy clothes, but the heart is just as scared as Jane and the fear of continuing to grow old.
As long as I don't get up too much at night, I'm satisfied.
An old man said.
Like Jane worried about being content with the quartet of "Rigoletto" without breaking the damn high notes.
Many poets extol the serenity of snoozing by the fire in old age, but they themselves cannot bear the process of growing old.
Some people snickered. Fortunately, Mozart died young, and Lennon also went so early.
It's really sad when an artist gets old.
It's also something to look forward to, as long as you're not a coward.
The story revolves around the quartet of old people and persuading Jane to let go of her former idol burden and participate in the quartet performance. , we know that old people have completed their last dreams.
In conclusion, Dr Hogan, who manages the home, said: "I am deeply grateful to these elderly people in our care, who have inspired us, and their love of life, as you know, is very contagious, let us Full of confidence in the future, sincerely, thank you very much.”
The plot is plain and old-fashioned, but there are many old dramas, and even the extras are genuine old musicians. Angrily knocked out "This is a ridiculously boring movie", young man, you really don't understand the heart of an old man.
