Out of the Blue

Milan 2021-11-17 08:01:26

This is a heart warming story about the life changes of a retired old man, but still it impressed me so much that I have already started thinking about my own old age and even my life nowadays.
I give special credit to this magical rhythm empowered by Jack Nicholson's vivid portrait of old Schmidt, because it helped me get through a quite tough period of my college life. I have written what I have made through encouraged by the film a year ago and that article is now attached right under this review on the webpage.
Old Schmidt was like the rest of us in the way that we all have to face up to millions of anguish- mood periods from time to time. He tried to get out of them in his own special way just like we do in our own ways . And sometimes the path we took might not be broad enough to get us out of the blue just as Schmidt's unsuccessful journey to his daughter's wedding. In times like these, we should always survive our faith and hope for life. Because just as old Schmidt finally found that drawing from the little child he has sponsored for years, we could somehow found our own keys to open the door which will lead us out in the sun again.
It's a song for life. It's about love, about spirit, and About Schmidt.

    Watching this movie will make people think of their own father inexplicably.. so what's the matter, crying! The old man is really pitiful, and he has to give up a lot of things. If there is no family and friendship, it is really pitiful.. although this film Not so heavy type, there are a lot of funny jokes in the film.... (with movie reviews!)

    Sometimes, life sucks. Sitting in my small cubicle in the big office day after day, I sometimes think of my childhood ambitions and pretentiousness, and now I don’t know where to go. I really think Nicholson is special Suitable to play this kind of stubborn and awkward old monster, but also angrily-reconcile with your inner anger and sadness! Interesting in the ordinary, 3.5 stars. 2011.11.14
