rose blooming at sunset

Thanks to the two veteran grandmothers for their excellent acting skills.

This movie truly conveys the tranquility, nature and joy of old age.

It also depicts the feelings of youthful, trembling, melancholy and dreamy first love.

The two seemingly contradictory moods are combined very naturally in the film.

Some people have to wait so long before they encounter a real heartbeat.

Such a fate arrangement is regrettable and depressing.

However, on closer inspection, Ursula's affection for the young Andre was mainly due to the surprise of his appearance, his admiration for his talent, and his love for his character.

The two spent a short time together and did not communicate much.

Therefore, it is not "true love" that has a deep soul fit and has undergone a lot of running-in.

The almost perfect Andre, and the throbbing he brought to Ursula, is more than just...

a symbol.

A rekindling of the flame of youth.

This film is probably to tell people that the "older people" are not as virtuous, sullen, peaceful and peaceful as they seem.

The images of the old men who have been interspersed many times also highlight this on the side.

The mood of old age is still fresh clothes and angry horses, drawing a knife to help, still ignorant, waiting for love.

——At the same time, I feel the remnants of time all the time, and it is gradually sloping westward.

When did the eagerness of life leave? Despite the waning years.

Although the song is not intended to describe the feelings of old age, it is so apt:

"The rose will wither in midsummer, and

our road is still long,

but there is a rose that does not wither in Bicardi,

that rose blooms in my heart. "

Ladies in Lavender quotes

  • [Dorcas stuffs a chicken while Janet listens to the radio in the next room and Andrea practices upstairs. Janet turns off the radio and comes into the kitchen]

    Janet Widdington: Doesn't sound good. I can't listen anymore.

    Dorcas: Don't know how you can stand it. Sounds like a strangled cat.

    Janet Widdington: I meant the news!

    Dorcas: Oh, right.

    Janet Widdington: Do we have any parsnips?

    Dorcas: Bit early for parsnips. Plenty of spuds, though.

  • [Ursula sits by Andrea's bed, watching him sleep. Dorcas bursts in]

    Dorcas: Tea.

    Ursula Widdington: Shhh!

    Dorcas: [she glances at Andrea, then says just as loudly,] Do you want tea?

    Ursula Widdington: [whispering] Shh! You'll wake him up! I think I'll wait until Janet gets up from her nap.

    Dorcas: Well, she's up.

    Ursula Widdington: [still whispering] Is she? She hasn't been long. All right, I'll be down directly.

    [she turns back to Andrea]

    Dorcas: He isn't gonna run off.

    [Ursula shoots her a look. Dorcas slams the door as she leaves, waking Andrea]
