I heard it was a comedy and watched it easily.
Similar in nature to "Flying Over the Nursing Home" in the mainland, a group of elderly people who are over fifty years old choose to live the life they yearn for. Guess the ending of the story.
The location is set in India, and it is also a group of old people who have lived in the civilized country of England for most of their lives. The sparks of the collision are of course needless to say.
India's bright colors, noisy traffic, high-decibel voices, clear grade distribution, flies around you, children chasing your alms as soon as you go out, the smell of elephant dung, and curry Food...
I frowned when I saw this.
However, India also has at the same time: a smile full of kindness, a performance that makes you come to eat and enjoy yourself, the sacred and quiet atmosphere of the temple, the gratitude of the people at the bottom...
Obviously, compared with "civilization", India is somewhat "" barbarous. In other words, it is not so advanced, it is a more primitive country.
If you accept it well, you will find your own destination and meaning like most of the old people here. If you can't accept it, just like JANE played by Penelope Wilton, say goodbye to her husband who is about to marry her 40th anniversary and return to the UK.
Among these old people, my favorite is Maggie Smith. Her arrogance and disdain for black people in her bones, especially when the black maid who served her meals every day invited her to go to the house to express her gratitude and deliver precious food, Maggie's performance in that part I almost died of laughter. Wonderful!
This is followed by Bill Nighy's Douglas and Ronald Pickup's Norman.
First of all, Douglas, the voice and tone of his speech always make my heart itch, and the upper body is also inexplicably attractive like a square. Not many expressions, but not poker. Anyway, like it.
As for Norman, the phrase "my name is Norman, I'm lonely." when he finally struck up a conversation with the beauty was quite touching.
At the end, the Indian guy convinces himself that Mama wants to marry his beloved girl is too stylized, and the old man speaking Indian is a bit of chicken soup.
In short, for some of the wonderful performances of the actors and the feeling of India, it is still worth watching. But as a whole not very exciting.
