two old actors

There are a lot of movies about Americans traveling to Europe, but they are the most compatible with the British atmosphere. After all, they have historical origins!
The story of this film is very simple. An old American man with a bad career and a failed marriage goes to the UK to attend his daughter's wedding. He meets a single older British woman who is not good-looking and sociable. The two get together in a short time. It's really not very attractive, and it feels quite old-fashioned. With "Love in the Sunset Afterglow" in front of the jewels, it seems that it is difficult to surpass. But it doesn't matter if you call it the older version of Love At Sunset, it's still worth watching because it's played by Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Acting up and down plots can't test the true skills of the actors, only this kind of silent play that sneaks into the night and moistens things with the wind can show the excellence of the old drama. The two of them work together perfectly, giving the film a refreshing beauty.

  • Kate Walker: I had a lovely time, Harvey, and I like you - I really do. But you know, I don't really do fountains at noon either. I mean, I live in - Well, I live in Wilton Greens, and you live wherever you...

    Harvey Shine: I live in White Plains.

    Kate Walker: Exactly. And Monday morning, life kicks in, and we're not teenagers. Got a life and our jobs and our family and everything, and I had a lovely time. I won't forget it. Thank you. But...

    Harvey Shine: What?

    Kate Walker: Well, it's not, you know, real life.

    Harvey Shine: It is.

    Kate Walker: No, it isn't, Harvey.

    Harvey Shine: It is.

    Kate Walker: No, it's not, Harvey.

    Harvey Shine: No, it is real life. It's real life for me.

    Kate Walker: No, no. I know. I know. But it's not just about you, is it? It's about me, as well. You don't know anything about me. Look at me. I mean, it's pathetic. I actually expected you not to show. In fact, I think I actually almost wanted you not to show because it's just sort of easier that way. You know, you just dive in there. You just whoosh anywhere. It's the deep end and I'm not a bloody swimming pool, Harvey, and I'm not - I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it because it'll hurt. Sometime or other there'll be, you know, it's not working, or I need my space, or whatever it is and it will end, and it will hurt, and I won't do it. I won't do it, and I won't...
