the movie is the ice-breaking cooperation between Fonda and his daughter. It is an old tender movie. Its name is just like "Long Bridge's Last Dream", which is familiar to me, but after watching "Language", I only understand Mandarin The dubbing of the version is still fresh, and I was not too moved by it. I
said to myself, I can't listen to the song tonight, so I'll just watch the movie.
At the beginning of the movie, it followed one of the usual lines of family dramas. Golden pond, pure and soothing piano pieces, an old couple (help me, I really didn't know she was Hepburn!), they returned to their former residence (?), life is still going on, isn't it. At this time, I am still I wondered why Jane Fonda didn't show up. But I was randomly attracted by the old man's temperament, which was decadent yet humorous, old-fashioned yet manly. The old lady is a healthy and lively person. The ducks floated in the water and the flowers bloomed with excitement. At the same time, I did not forget to share these with my husband. Why did the old man do this? Later, when the old lady comforted her daughter who had friction with her father again, her mother said: "Your father's occasional roar Just to prove that he's still a lion, old. "
In the first hour of the movie, the old man is "bad" so I can't stand it. He doesn't care about everything, and at the same time shows the hegemony of his proud man. Always turning his son-in-law and his first meeting , still ruthless, but the prospective son-in-law also spoke harshly. Unicom's son was also cursing him for being a damn old man. For this, I really sighed at the difference between Chinese and Western cultures, at that time it was 1981.
My early feeling was that the father and daughter would be at each other's throats at the beginning of the film. Of course, director Mark Leidel wouldn't just spill dog blood on his diamond-encrusted work. That should be the real gap between father and daughter that people believe in real life (the term generation gap is used here, which is not appropriate). When this knot was gradually revealed in front of me by the director, another burden was left behind - it also made a great contribution to the subsequent reconciliation. Charshi and Bill are putting Billy in foster care for the old couple for a month. Billy, who was in his puberty, naturally didn't like these two "old things" at first. The stubborn old man opened the boy's heart through the seemingly intentional or unintentional fishing experience, after all, a child! When Charxi, who came back at the end of the month, saw the three people who were happy and happy, the grievances and anger in his heart burst with tears. However, under the persuasion of his mother, he still made concessions to his father, in the same tone of his father. However, before the old man knew it, he always regarded Billy as his daughter Charshi. The details here made me emotional!
Towards the end, the hug between father and daughter at the time of farewell (it was the old man's initiative) instantly made my eyes moist. No matter the old-fashioned way of the plot here, the family drama is always repeated in the world, but once it is staged, we must not be absent and enjoy it! ! It's probably because the director's step-by-step burden is too good (laughs)!
But the director did not end there, after the daughter left. A sudden illness of my father brought the cold topic of death to the fore in front of me. One sentence shouted: pay attention to reality! To the old man: Hey, your time is running out, watch your time! The mutual affection between fathers is to support each other at this moment. Spit bubbles filled the entire movie. Fortunately, there is no danger. The old man's playful tone recalled the breath of death. Old and young, this is what I want to say! But the hidden danger of life will eventually exist between the two old people. The two lonely old people, what will they do in the future? How to solve this, the director pragmatically threw the burden to us. This burden is not a foreshadowing, but a heavy reality, the infinitely enlarged figure of the old man under the sunset that he has to face. . . . . .
In autumn, there is only a pair of water ducks on the water, but they are very loving.
What will death do to the elderly?
They roar for no reason; they call strangers by name unintentionally; they are sincere friends with their children, but angry with their own children; they love nature and are curious about everything; Little things make a big fuss; they will sit in the hearts of the juniors as steady as Mount Tai at critical moments. But they're fragile, and I like the old couple's opening dialogue.
Wife: I am only middle-aged.
Husband: Then my life is 150 years (implying that he is over old)!
Wife: Well, you are over 70 and I am over 60. Even if I am late middle-aged!
Only later did I learn that Jane Fonda bought the script for Henry Fonda. The actor who played the old wife has won four times (the last time is by virtue of the film) Katharine Hepburn! Henry and Katherine both won Oscars for "Golden Pond" that year, and Henry Fonda died the following year with satisfaction.
I would like to quote the online comments again: we have to admire Hollywood, in terms of violence and sex, fists and pillows, we are limited by the system and can’t play against others, big productions that burn money, our wallets have no drums, and only literary films. In the field, everyone seems to be a little fair. Whether it's a horse or a mule, it's time to pull it out. To be honest, the real winner is Hollywood. "Golden Pond", a 1981 old film. Telling the life of the elderly, the plot is simple, but it is warm. A work that can extract the philosophy of life from the trivialities of life, and explain the ordinary things in a eloquent manner, makes people feel astonished. Such a work must be a masterpiece.
I watched this movie with selfishness, and my heart was pure. When I first watched Tim Burton's "Big Fish", at the end, the old man had everything as he wished, although he left, he had a good start. I was so moved that I couldn't cry, I just laughed happily, just like the people in the play at the end.
A movie with only 6 people (there are also two guys in the store), I am not good at using the language of the movie, or the same sentence: I would like to try my best to "put my thoughts on paper" as soon as possible, and not let it be random Disperse, like a human inspiration. . . . . .
