Only the changes of the illusion, the fulfillment of eternity that cannot be fulfilled.

Seeing that the type written is comedy, I really can't laugh, maybe my laugh is different.

If it was in the past, I would never have finished watching such a long and boring plot. Maybe I am old now, and I have finished watching it in a boring afternoon. In the details, it stings me slightly.

The film is divided into four segments, spring, summer, autumn and winter, closely following the theme of another year.

And whether one year is another year. For Tom & Gerri, yes, the son found a girlfriend, and the family is full of all kinds of warmth. But for Mary, it was year after year. When will the hard days come to an end, and when will my hard days come to an end?

In the face of getting older and divorced once, Mary's relationship has never been found. Always have a soft spot for Tom&Gerri's son Joe, and Joe has always regarded her as his good aunt. I think this is a bit unethical, how could you bear to let it go. But for your own happiness, don't be afraid to be cruel to others.

Mary is more afraid of getting old than ever, because there is less and less time to find the little love left.

At the end of the film, amid the laughter and laughter, Mary drank a large sip of champagne, and her uneasy eyes were like sitting on pins and needles. At this moment, there is no need for any words, you and I understand Mary's heart. You and I have moments like this. The fun is theirs, I have nothing.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west,
shining all over the world.
You never know
how many corners it has gone to that you never imagined.

Days go by like this.
Day after day, year after year,
you never know.
The hardships and scars drenched in its blandness.

You never know
how much regret I have.
You never know.
I have lost my voice in this life.
you never knew,
How lonely I am.

You never know.
You never know...


Life is always full of too many regrets and powerlessness, so we have become evaders who are good at creating illusions for ourselves. Even if the figure cannot leave the earth, we must let the spirit fly away and enter the utopia in the dream.

    The four seasons are reincarnation, peace and joy. The lovable-looking old man and old lady have the look of [the years, the wind and the rain have beaten me to stand still], and they accompany each other, a typical English rural life. This time, Mike Lee took the warm route of his old age in [Golden Pond]. Although many supporting roles are still realistic highlights, the sharp and cold blade of the past is completely absent. Age changes people, when you become more and more valuable, there are not many days left... Has life deceived you?

    I really like Mike Lee's calm narrative style. He always puts his camera in the lives of ordinary people, quietly testing their sorrows and joys, a little low-key humor, and quiet sadness, just in the movie. Rise up. Tom's family is like the tree in the poster, and the stories of relatives and friends and themselves spread branches and leaves along the director's line of thinking. Cinema Tuschinski Amsterdam

Another Year quotes

  • Tom: I seem to remember you got banned from a number of pubs in Hull for shouting about nothing when you were a young person.

    Ken: [retelling the event] "Ken, we like you. You're a good bloke, you're good on the darts, but if you talk about politics again, you're barred!".

    [both burst into laughter]

  • Mary: But he wasn't a bad person. He loved me.

    Tom: Sounds to me that he was a duplicitous shit.
