First of all, I have to say a little bit, I also think this film is better than the recently popular psychic medium. As a high-concept movie, "Old Age" uses the shell of a general thriller, desert island survival, biomedical company conspiracy, etc., but under the framework of the superficial genre film, this film condenses the physical scale. The beach of time made me really feel a kind of heterogeneous fear. This fear has nothing to do with the violence, blood, and madness that can be replicated in commercial movies, but entirely stems from our ignorance of the world. When an indisputable and unquestionable scale conquers the scale of our daily life (in the film, the passage of time, specifically), how can or should we face our existence? With such a philosophical contemplative inquiry, the film tears open a chasm in our daily life experience. Although we cannot get a glimpse of the whole picture of life through this gap, and where this current of life will eventually go, even when we lean forward to observe carefully, there will be a lot of dust, dregs, and garbage from the gap. Falling down blinds our eyes and stings our nerves, but just this glimpse is enough for us to step back in horror and reflect on what kind of confessional writing time has left us between gifts and curses. So dawn goes down to day, Nothing gold can stay.
