And see the vast, and the hair is pale

He woke up in the morning alone, big bed, lonely person.
He is in his sixties, wearing the formal clothes of his youth, with a windbreaker over his thin body, and a dark scarf around his wrinkled neck.
He walked through the streets, walked through the rows of trees in the park, walked through the people who were busy or idle... The camera stretched, stretched, and the still proud Douglas, the hero Every twilight. The young man of my generation, who is not worried, silently wanted to ask: "Lass is old, can I still eat?" At the beginning of the movie, I was hit by loneliness, quietly planted grief in my heart, and followed Douglas, who still looked vigorous and vigorous. Step into loneliness, peel off the layers of mist covering its surface, and walk away.
As an old schoolboy, he fights young men in front of the library he donates,
he looks at the bench where he first met Nancy 37 years ago,
he hangs out at a party of young people drinking champagne , accosted the young girl,
he saw the good buddy from thirty-seven years ago, the buddy no longer has thick hair on his head, brought the sandwich, said to him "as usual?"
He and the girl of eighteen or nine years old Dating children, he had sex with them,
he didn't let himself know he had a heart problem, he got up every morning to take a few baby aspirins,
he was in Forbes magazine, he was poor and had to rely on his daughter's private handouts to pay
He spent all his life savings for his freedom on rent , but he bought the loneliness of old age.
He couldn't find a job in his own industry. He was considered a jerk by everyone
. Young people's party, young girls tell him that he's old, he finds himself old, "I was one."
He's not the one to feel sad, he doesn't sigh when the leaves fall in autumn, he's conqueror , even if "he is not in his time"
He is a lonely person, what can save his loneliness? Sitting in the chair you used to date with your wife to wait for her pity, and then humble like a little sheep to admit that you are old and your own world is no longer there; to listen to the doctor's words without autonomy? ?
I'm not him, I'm a young man, how can I understand?
I'm not him, I'm still young, how can I be alone?

    If you choose to be yourself, what if you are lonely? Consistent love and honest management are the standards in the eyes of others. As Ben said to Marino himself, he will never learn to live like Marino, because that is not himself.

Solitary Man quotes

  • Jimmy Merino: When my father gave me this place years ago, I used to dream about these girls. Every night, dreams, all kinds of dreams about 'em. But then I'd see them coming back after graduation. They'd come to homecomings, ballgames. They'd sit at the same tables, eat the same food. And I'd look at them and I noticed, they don't stay like this. None of 'em. They put on years and pounds and wrinkles. And I got one like that at home. So. And we can talk to each other. I know her and I'll always know her.

  • Ben Kalmen: You got your little jokes, you know, the Spanish thing, interests are the same, and the studying. But, um, are you getting it, you know, where it counts?

    Maureen: Oh, Ben. Cheston thinks you care about him.

    Ben Kalmen: This has nothing to do with him. He's never gonna know about this. Never.

    Maureen: Aren't you a little old for all this?

    Ben Kalmen: You're still standing here, aren't you?

    Maureen: Yeah, 'cause I'm contemplating throwing this drink in your face. But I'm not going to, because I don't want Cheston to know what you just tried. So you can just walk away. Please.

    Ben Kalmen: Nothing personal.

    Maureen: Hey. That is it, actually. Since you asked, that's what I get from him. Something personal. Besides getting it done where it counts, which he does. Cheston and I reach each other. He's tender and sweet and smart and funny and a million things that you aren't.

    Ben Kalmen: I was once, honey. It doesn't last.
