Seven elderly people with different personalities, at different turning points in their lives, boarded the same plane to Jaipur to try to find a new spiritual home.
The plot of the story is old-fashioned, and the final result is just what it deserves, but such an old-fashioned story is put on 7 old-fashioned British old men and women, and it adds a bit of dark humor and irony. No wonder there are sequels out~
Among the different character stories, the most outstanding are the following two:
If it is said that other people have completed their past pursuits in a new environment, then this old lady Muriel, who has been a housekeeper for others all her life, has completely changed her life creed. She is the key figure in the story's complete ending, and she has fully verified the phrase "inadvertently inserting willows and willows". From vitriolic racism to silently helping Indians realize their dreams, it all confirms the change in the environment and the essential changes that a broadened horizon will bring to people.
Another story with a special story is this Justice Graham, a dignified and charming gentleman in speech and manners. He originally thought he would have a sunset love with one of the old ladies, but unexpectedly, he came to find his boyfriend from decades ago...
Sure enough, British films can't escape the fact that "the base is full of love", but it is so natural and unpretentious that only British films can be made. The two were forced to live a life that was not the real me for most of their lives due to the limitations of the world, and finally met their wish, and then one of them passed away peacefully. The ending of the story was handled very lightly, both sad and beautiful. There are too many helpless things in life, if you can make up for the most important regret in your heart before the end, it will be enough.
What is particularly ingenious in the film is to set up a pair of young people who are fighting for their dreams as the role of arranging the life of the elderly in Jaipur. Their existence is in stark contrast to the life of the elderly - to realize themselves in a familiar environment & Looking back at myself in an unfamiliar environment, they are the old people in the past, the old people are them in the future, you have me, I have you, although they are different, they have the same.
A sentence in the movie is particularly good and full of hope: Everything will be all right in the end, and if it is not, then it is not yet the end. On the surface, it seems to say that the change in the progress of things brought about by time, to Quietly wait till the end. But I think it wants to emphasize more that people's mentality changes over time, and this change makes everything as people want in the end. Whatever the film is trying to deliver, it does it all.
