Even if he was a Hollywood star when he was young, he still can't even get cameos in sitcoms when he grows old, so he can only open his own performance studio. He is an "expensive" performance instructor, and the students he teaches get endorsement advertisements for shampoo. , but will still be laughed at by that student for not knowing what "Bitcoin" is.
The fear is the same when facing old age.
Do you fantasize about an old life?
Living as someone's father, taking the grandchildren at home, taking the pocket money the children give each month, and counting when they go home?
Or go on with your life, go on a date with your crush, go to the urologist to see a doctor, encounter a financial crisis due to tax evasion, try to make a breakthrough in your career, and accompany your old friend?
Most Chinese people will lose themselves when they grow old, and their children have their own jobs and cannot accompany them all the time, so they fall into loneliness, but who said that life after old age must revolve around children?
Sandy and Norman have some worries about getting old physically, and also have the fear of being behind the times in their minds, but if there is one person to accompany them to grow old, it seems that getting old can also become a romantic thing.
Sandy was a famous Hollywood actor when he was young, and Norman was his manager. At this age, the two of them are each other's only friends. They are accustomed to vicious conversations, understand each other's weaknesses, and are the first people to rely on when encountering difficulties.
Everyone is afraid of getting old, but no one will refuse to get old, because it means that you have lived long enough in your life, even if you are embarrassed that you will not pay for going to the supermarket, you still know a new payment method.
The body will first send out the signal of aging. You can't hear it, you can't see it clearly, you can't walk, and you can't urinate.
Sandy, who went to the urologist to see a doctor, would make up a reason for his arrival, then anxiously wait for the doctor's call, be dominated by the possibility of cancer for a few days, and fear death when he grows old.
Erin died of cancer.
Sandy, who received the doctor's call, also knew the news of his cancer. He put on his fashionable clothes, sat on a park bench, looked at the playful children in the distance, with a smile on his face, but was caught by him. The child's mother is a pedophile.
Looking at the policeman looking at him, he took the initiative to say, "I'm not a pervert, I'm an actor."
At this moment, Sandy must feel lonely.
The way you treat love when you are young will affect your companionship in old age. The difficulty of Twilight Love is that the children have their own families. The combination of two old people means that several families must be connected.
Sandy has been married three times in his life, and he may not be able to count the romances himself. When he was in his seventies, he was alone. If he is a Hollywood actor, it seems not difficult to understand. When Brad Pitt and Leonardo When judged by the media as a Hollywood prodigal, most bystanders will match the romance with it, without cursing at all.
Her daughter said that in her mother's eyes, her father is a scumbag, and only women who have been hurt by her will scold him from the bottom of her heart.
As for love, he has been unrestrained all his life, but he can't find what love is when he grows old, but he begins to worry about himself. When he is old enough to be in a wheelchair, is it only the Filipino maid who pushes him to bask in the sun?
So, in the face of female student Lisa's offer, the old lover couldn't refuse, but when he noticed other students' comments, he took himself out first. How could such a smart and selfish man let a woman always give up on him? ?
The first date with Lisa was to visit the seriously ill Irene, and the second date was at Irene's funeral. The aging hormones finally played a role, but in order to accompany Norman to hang out for a week .
Pull up your pants and go, young or old, Sandy is the same as always. It's not that it's too difficult to find love after getting old, but that even when he gets old, he loves himself more than others.
Contrary to him, Norman only loved his wife all his life, but she left him one step ahead.
When Sandy introduced the two of them to each other, he didn't expect them to hold hands for decades. Erin died, and Norman followed the arrangements written by his wife, and the funeral took place as expected.
There are coffins made of driftwood, black female singers singing "The Jam Girl", comedy performers as hosts, etc. Because she was a frequent visitor to the Golden Globes before her death, most of her requirements were not difficult to meet.
Norman is a successful man in Hollywood, he has a bad temper, but his wife always gives him the right advice, some time after the funeral, he still talks to his wife, and the servant sees him talking to himself in the air by himself When speaking, he would always shake his head helplessly.
Life seemed to be without him until he saw his wife's skirt in the laundry, and at that moment, the gold medal agent in his 80s burst into tears.
If it is said that the elderly are dull, then once the gate of mourning memory is opened, the memories of the past few decades will come flooding in, and those memories that he has experienced in the past, which he finally put down, are not comfortable to think about again. matter.
It is a very romantic thing to love only one person in your life, but when one person leaves first, the remaining one must be sad enough.
Norman, in pajamas, walked down the street and said to the unfamiliar driver: "My wife died in front of me."
Both husband and wife have the right to speak in Hollywood, but their daughter has always been a headache for them.
Forty-five years old, a failed marriage, addicted to drugs, Norman is more overwhelmed by the arrival of Phoebe than the absence of his wife, the daughter who disappoints him, but this is his daughter.
With no money to support herself, Phoebe thinks of Norman, who never greeted her mother when she was sick, and stole her Birkin bag in exchange for drugs when she came back.
When Phoebe, who ran away from home, took drugs and fainted again, he finally went to the drug rehab center again.
The departure of his wife and the return of his daughter were all blows to Norman. After returning to the company, facing the hypocrisy of the employees and the fact that he had to rely on the secretary's explanation to continue the meeting, he suddenly did not know why he continued. alive.
If Norman was disappointed in Phoebe, then Sandy was guilty of Mindy. As a husband and father, he was a failure. Selfishness in love did not make him feel guilty for the women in his life, but I feel this way about my daughter.
On the one hand, the mother's accusation against her father's scumbag, and on the other hand, the departure of two successive stepmothers, Mindy became Sandy's backing after she was used to seeing the girlfriends beside her father.
The care of his daughter finally made Hollywood prodigal son bow his head. He didn't know how to compensate his daughter, but he still said his sorry words. The daughter's contribution to him is far greater than what he did to her.
There is bound to be a debt between parents and children. Some people pay more, and some people enjoy more.
Compared with Sandy's luck, Norman obviously paid more when it came to children.
Phoebe was sent to a drug rehab again. Along the way, Norman suddenly wanted to die. He couldn't find a reason to continue living because he felt lonely.
When a person realizes that there is no one to accompany him in this world, he will lose his desire to survive. The two old friends who have always bickered, but this time they are angry: "You are not alone, you can't see me I'm right in front of you, this is the Kominsky theory."
