The movie "Sister Peach" should really be seen in theaters. Not to talk about the viewing effect, but because such a good film is qualified to make me pay the ticket price to show respect.
Ye Dexian's acting skills are really consummate. Carrying a vegetable basket, taking trembling steps, accompanied by a trembling smile, he took out his presbyopic glasses, put on a coat, and carefully selected seafood one by one... There is no trace of performance, the most ordinary homely old man Mrs.
At first it was just a master and a servant. Ye Dexian brought dishes on a plate, and Andy Lau sat alone to eat, taking care of himself. After eating, Ye Dexian did not serve the table, but only served a bowl of rice and ordered dishes in the kitchen. After dinner, Andy was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, while Ye Dexian served the cut fruit. There is no conversation. Ye Dexian asked Andy Lau when he was leaving and when he was coming back, and Andy Lau responded without raising his eyes. Only when Andy Lau said, "I haven't eaten beef tongue for a long time," and Ye Dexian responded, "Don't talk about it if you haven't eaten it, and you want to build a bridge again?" Only when she revealed a bit of homely familiarity.
It was after Ye Dexian was admitted to the hospital with a stroke that Andy Lau realized that "it turns out that she has been in our house for 60 years." In
such an expensive nursing home, the best rooms are just small partitions separated by wooden boards. The public restroom stinks so much that you need to stick your nose with toilet paper. Personal belongings should be labelled for unified management. Valuables can be handed over for safekeeping, but no responsibility for loss. Ye Dexian said, "Very good, thank you." The too fast pace of speech revealed the nervousness in her heart. Her smile was a little stiff and disappeared in a flash.
The old man who was too old to take care of himself, his face shrunk into a small walnut, sat there dumbly waiting for someone to feed him; the old man who got the wrong dentures replaced the dentures and put them on and continued to eat; the old man with Parkinson's disease Dropping dishes while eating... Ye Dexian saw that she lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks, and I was horrified.
It turns out that being old to a certain extent is such a horror. It turned out that my previous imagination of the nursing home was too idealistic.
Of course, old age is not always like this. Andy Lau's mother, Mrs. Liu played by Wang Fuli, was the same year as Sister Tao, but she seemed to be a decade later, rich and elegant. Mrs. Liu and her son went to see Sister Tao at the nursing home, made soup in person, and gave money and gifts. She could not help but say that she was a kind owner, but her attitude was obviously condescending. Sister Tao kept smiling humbly and saying thank you, but when it comes to the taste of the soup, she was blunt and said "fishy", never noticing Mrs. Liu's obvious dissatisfaction.
Andy Lau took Ye Dexian to see the Roland that he met at the premiere, about the same age, Roland was wrapped in fur, still slender under the cheongsam, with proper hairstyle and makeup, and greeted Andy Lau with a smile, elegant, noble, generous and decent , is another scene.
In this way, perhaps the most terrifying thing is not getting old, but getting old and struggling financially. (I decided not to be lazy anymore, to work hard, save a lot, so as not to fall into old age...)
However, even if it is like Sister Tao, there are still moments of warmth. Andy Lau visited on time, took her out for dinner, took a walk, and watched the premiere. The two talked and laughed. This was the happiest time for Sister Tao. When that day came, I started to look forward to it early in the morning. Whether the days in the nursing home are not so easy, rely on this warmth to support.
Fortunately, Sister Tao didn't endure for a long time.
It may be a blessing for the elderly to be able to die quickly and easily.
At Sister Tao's funeral, Uncle Jian came with flowers, looked a little timid, glanced at everyone, and carefully presented flowers. When Andy Lau revealed that Uncle Jian asked for the money to find a hair shampoo girl, I thought Sister Tao would be deceived and angry, but Sister Tao said, "Let him go, how many more times." He still lent him the money.
This tolerance and open-mindedness is great wisdom and worth learning.
I remember that You Sansan in the back garden also wrote a film review, saying that "it's destined to be old and nowhere to go", and I was very concerned. I think it will be the same when I get older. He is the same towards me. As a DINK family, it is doomed to grow old and desolate. Sister Tao and Andy Lau went to see her. When I got there, no one would come. It’s hard for me to imagine now that when that time comes, there will be no one to look forward to.
But that's all. If you don't want to pay, you will get nothing.
Another: The lineup of "Sister Peach" is very strong. Needless to say, Ye Dexian and Andy Lau, Wang Fuli and Qin Pei are also old actors, and even the cameos are old acquaintances: Huang Qiusheng, Du Wenze, Tsui Hark, Sammo Hung... who play Huang Qiusheng's girlfriend It was actually Gong Xuehua. I didn't recognize it at first, I just thought that this blessed milf, with such heavy makeup and exaggerated false eyelashes, can be seen through reading glasses, but it can still be seen from the facial features. is a beauty. As a result, when the cast saw Gong Xuehua, he immediately remembered that it must be her. When Gong Xuehua participated in the beauty pageant at the age of 50, she was still beautiful, her figure was well maintained, and she was able to wear a tube top dress. I am really old and fat now. After all, he is in his sixties. .
Gong Xuehua was indeed a beauty when she was young, but unfortunately she didn't catch up with the good times, so she was not willing to fight for the position when she was fifty. Now that I am over sixty, I am still not reconciled. In fact, it's okay to be beautiful at the beginning, this age is still so vulgar...
