I have seen not many movies and TV dramas with old people as the protagonists, but most of them will bring tears to my eyes. There is a charm in old people, and I think that is the only gift that time has given us.
"The Kominsky Theory" takes Sandy and Norman as the protagonists. It revolves around their families and their friendship. It depicts two people with completely different personalities, but they are inseparable from each other. Sandy is an out-of-date performance instructor, and Norman is a gold-medal agent who is retired and retired at home.
There is a saying, "It's not the old man who gets bad, it's the bad guy who gets old." It can probably be used to describe Norman, but he's not bad, it's just that time throws water on each of us, whether it's cold or hot water, wash us. When we get old, what is left of us is the truest side of our bones, and that side is magnified over time.
Norman is stubborn and mean, and he will never say a soft word to his daughter or his friends. Treating strangers is even more rude and has zero tolerance.
I think he must have also been a mean childish when he was young, and the older he gets, the more jerk. However, his cuteness is also revealed at the end of each episode. He scolds his drug addict daughter out of the house, but worries about her safety; Uncontrollable tears. He often talks to his wife in the kitchen. He is his imaginary wife, but I prefer to regard that image as himself. All the decisions his wife persuades him to make are actually his true thoughts.
Interestingly, this isn't a sad-based drama. Norman and Sandy's dialogue, contracted a whole season of laughs. Fighting each other and making fun of each other is a staple of their conversations.
Even so, when they encounter difficulties or are unhappy, the first thing they think of is still each other.
"There are nine out of ten things in life that don't go your way, but you can't talk to anyone else." This is loneliness.
In this drama, the two old people still face troubles every day, such as health and loneliness, but they still have each other, and they can be unscrupulous as a bastard in front of each other, which is so healing. If we were old and had such a friend who could swear at each other every day, why would we be reluctant to leave.
