you'll surface from the other end

I've been obsessed with movies with Indian elements lately, and maybe the reason for the love is the answer from the judge in the movie: light, color, and smiles. His last sentence is better, where life is treated as a privilege, not a power. And we've gotten used to it for a long time.

While enjoying the vitality of India, vivid character stories are interspersed, everyone is fighting against aging, poverty, unemployment, widowhood, singleness, failure and tradition, but as the lines say, These changes are like ocean waves. If you fight against them, you will be bruised and bruised, but if you dive into them, you will surface on the other side. At the end of the story, they all surfaced, breathing in the fresh air.

Some favorite lines:

Remembering the past does not make the past come back, when the past gradually disappears, the present slowly forms.

What do you like about this place?
Light, color and smiles. There are also people who regard life as a privilege, not a power.

I don't want to go through a plane hostage crisis and be the first to get off the plane.

You can't see the beauty around you, even when they're staring into your face.

Come back to Delhi with me and life will be easier.
Not easier, but narrower.

I no longer despise myself, because I love you deeply, my life is full of value.

We wake up every morning and live hard, and that's enough.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel quotes

  • Douglas Ainslie: I invested our, well, my retirement money in our daughter's Internet company. She assured me that as soon as the startup actually, um, started up and the conversion from virtual to actual became sufficiently viable, then she'd be able to pay it all back.

    Evelyn: I'm not sure I understand what most of those words mean.

    Douglas Ainslie: Well, it turns out neither did she.

  • Evelyn: [about their new environment] Initially you're overwhelmed. But gradually you realize it's like a wave. Resist, and you'll be knocked over. Dive into it, and you'll swim out the other side.
