Originally thought it was a funny comedy about the failure of three old men to rob a bank, but the plot was unexpectedly handled very delicately. When revealing the alibi of the three people, I really admired the idea of ​​the director and screenwriter, and I found some interesting things later. The hidden little details are generally considered a very qualified comedy movie.

Although there is a feeling that the story is too beautiful after seeing it, combined with the humorous style of the first half with a wry smile, the happy ending really makes the whole story a lot warmer. From the point of view of the movie, maybe when faced with the dilemma of not even getting a pension, if you seek help from your children, you will get asylum, but there may be some elderly people who prefer to live with dignity when they can afford their own living expenses. Spend your old age. The film also shows the sincere friendship between several elderly people well. There is no excessive exaggeration or sensationalism. It seems plain but is most touching. It would be enough to have an old friend in your life who is still doing crazy things like robbing a bank with you despite your age.

For young people, the whole movie may be more of a lighthearted and funny comedy, but like the title says, the real world of the elderly can also be glimpsed through the lens. The key feeling of the whole film is the sentence "Taking care of the elderly is a social responsibility", combined with the story background of the film, it seems to be both a satire of reality and the beauty of "caring for the elderly" in the future. expect. When I watched it, I was thinking, what if I suddenly lost my pension someday in the next few decades? If one day the old man in my family becomes like these three old men going to rob money? I can't let these things happen to my family. I have to strive for progress every day.

Last but not least, this cast can be considered a rare sight in one's lifetime.

    Cookie-cutter you are paralyzed. What novelty is needed for such a story? The three old dramas are played once and the other is less, and almost all of the action dramas are played in person. Why are you still hypocritical? There is a friend who is willing to donate a kidney for you, there is a kind little girl, um, these are Clichés, but they are just beautiful.

    The three grandpas, who add up to nearly 300, are "struggling" to amuse you. I have to admit that they did it. But I have to admit that if it weren't for the three stars and acting to support the field, the story and details of this film are actually so loose and weak. It's all about watching the three Oscar gods playing tricks, this movie is justified.
