"Foreign Hotel" The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is equivalent to watching other people's travel at home, just as their own cloud travel.
When I talk about a spiritual journey, I will think of India. Because I watched "Crossing Darjeeling" first, I can't forget the picture of the three brothers riding motorcycles, throwing their suitcases and chasing the train. Why is India suitable for a spiritual journey? Complicated and varied religions, colorful costumes, spices, curries, songs and dances, and the Ganges River, India gives people a feeling of enthusiasm, crowded markets, women wearing bright robes, shouting, street performances, full of vitality. The most important thing is this vitality, the world is so big, where is there no scenery? But in a country like India, full of contradictions, huge gaps between rich and poor, diverse and strict customs, you can still see people riding bicycles, walking, doing business, chatting, and endless stream, as if there is no sadness, There is no yesterday, no tomorrow, only now.
Take away the country and the environment, take away the language and the education system, Indians are no different from other places. Moreover, their lives are quite stylish, as if they will dance at any time, as if everyone will come to a street performance.
The film is a light comedy, and the actors are all veteran actors. There is a feeling of crossing between "Harry Potter" and "Downton Abbey". Judi Dench plays steadily and steadily, and Bill Nighy, in You can see him anywhere.
The story is about several elderly people with different personalities who set off from England for a holiday in Jaipur, India. They learned from the introduction brochure and the publicity film of the Marigold Hotel that this hotel is different, the architecture is full of exotic and British flavors, the hotel is golden, and the sun is golden. Several elderly people have their own concerns, hoping to go there to experience a different life, find the regrets they missed, and restart their lives. Everything is unknown and new.
The ashes-level diamond king fifth Norman hopes to successfully date a beautiful woman and talk about a passionate love affair. He seems slick, but he is actually a rookie in chatting. Finally, when he is desperate, he simply admits his unease, entanglement and loneliness. Fortunately, the object of this date is also relatively unspeakable and has similar troubles, and the two finally connected to the signal. In the end, Norman sighed and finally felt the scenery of the top of the mountain.
Maggie is an expert flirt, she left her son and grandson, hoping to have more free love. Join the high-level singles club, and Norman first dislike each other, and then share the same illness, start alliance cooperation, talk to each other, and become close friends on the trip to India. The lovely thing about Maggie is that she knows what she's doing and has a clear purpose. Although he was still single in the end, it was not clear whether he would continue to stay in India, but he still embraced life.
Justice Graham is the most concerned one, with a calm personality and leadership style. When an accident occurred in the plane transfer, he led the crowd to get on the crowded bus and ride on the bouncing car. Suggest to Joan that you should get out more, life is here, out on the street. I ate and chatted with Evelyn, and also revealed to Evelyn that she was gay, and shared a romantic and heartbroken past in India when she was young. I came back to India on this trip, with a feeling of making up for my regrets, I hope to be able to Capturing the faint hope, even if there is no result, as long as you are in the land of India, you can feel a little peace of mind.
Evelyn is more like a recorder. She writes a blog on the website every day, writing down the scenery and stories along the way. Her husband left her, and the house she had been with for many years was sold to pay off her debts. Evelyn decided to take a leisurely walk, travel alone, and found her first job in India as an emotional consultant. Evelyn was an observant and a listener, so Graham preferred to dine with her and confide in her only. When Douglas and Joan were fighting, Evelyn was able to leave wisely.
Douglas and Joan have been married for decades and are loyal to each other. Because my daughter embezzled their pensions for starting a business, she came to India to seek a more cost-effective, while maintaining a quality life. His wife, Joan, is conservative and doesn’t like to go out. Evelyn felt relaxed and happy here. The wife, however, fell in love with Graham, she did not hesitate to break the marriage promise, walked out of the room, and bravely expressed her heart.
Wheelchair grandma Muriel is cunning and vicious. She doesn't like anything, and she does n't hide her racial discrimination. She came to India to perform medical surgery on her buttocks, and a life of living with people of color began. Muriel was unhappy, and his favorite biscuits had to be ordered online by an Indian housekeeper. The wheelchair grandma was sharp and hard to serve, but the Indian waitress was very attentive to her, and changed the food to English and invited her to be a guest at her home.
Although the wheelchair grandma has a vicious tongue, the threshold for her inner defense line is not high. She was moved by the care and simplicity of the waitress, and slowly opened her heart to the hotel and everyone, and said goodbye to the wonderful and regretful life in the past. Muriel took out his housekeeping skills and rescued everyone from the fire and water, and the hotel did not need to be closed.
At the end of the story, Graham lay on a rattan chair in the yard of the Grand Hotel and rode a crane to the west. He met someone he hadn't seen for many years and fulfilled his lifelong long-cherished wish. Norman finds a girlfriend, and Maggie continues to be determined and confused. Douglas and Joan parted ways on the way to the airport. Joan finally bravely walked back and got on the plane back home alone, while Douglas got a new chance. He returned to the hotel and waited for Evelyn to get off work. She goes for a ride. Muriel seems to be back in business, but not in England, but in India.
There is no perfect waiting, everything is a new beginning.
