Flying over the nursing home-Lao Ge
Lazy afternoon, I made a cup of tea in the study and opened the movie with a lazy weekend. I wanted to just watch and kill time, but I was moved by the movie and cried.
The movie Flying Over the Nursing Home 20 12, directed by JASON ZHANG, tells the story of a group of old people in Guanshan nursing home who are looking for pure happiness and meaning in their lives in order to realize their ultimate value.
The film begins with the story that Ge Laotou was "kicked out" by his unrelated son because his second wife died and he was forced to enter a nursing home. After entering Guanshan nursing home, he lived in a room with his former colleague Lao Zhou, who was warm and cheerful and organized the old people here to participate in various cultural and sports activities on weekdays. In order to realize the ultimate value of their lives, this group of old partners resolutely decided to rehearse the program and go to Tianjin to participate in the competition. However, aging and illness made the dean (Yan) unable to make up her mind to give the green light, and unexpected accidents prompted her to ban Lao Zhou's performance.
The rest of the old people in the nursing home are either Lao Zhou who has no relatives and no reason, or Laojin who screams like crazy in the middle of the night, and Laojin who stubbornly opposes his family everywhere ... They are poor, sick or lonely, but they can help each other and face the loneliness that cannot be sent away in their later years.
Except for a few guest stars such as Liao Fan and Chen Kun, the whole movie is full of old actors and artists. Their average age is 80 years old, but they try their best to live happily through the loneliness and insecurity they describe and express.
They have dreams, hopes, wishes, helpless worries and infinite expectations, so they have the courage and fearlessness to walk the line, as if they don't care, even if they experience death, they have no regrets!
The film aroused the hearts of countless people with simple emotions. In the face of the first generation of only children gradually entering the age of 30, their parents' pension problems have also surfaced. In the play, Lao Ge said, "How did I get mixed up like this?" It is not only a self-reflection in the old age, but also a direct torture to the general public: how to solve the increasingly serious aging problem in China. This is a movie that makes people cry and think. With his consistent warm style, the director reveals the human nature problem that the audience can no longer avoid, which is more cruel than death.
Nevertheless, this film is more of an inspirational comedy plot. In the face of loneliness and illness in old age, they have not given up their desire for dreams and distant places, but like us, they still yearn for happiness and freedom and still have the pursuit of dreams. In the movie, the old man Zhou knew that he was suffering from terminal cancer, but he still dreamed of watching the sea and the sunrise at the seaside. There is something "crazy" and "youth inspirational film" in the romance of the film. Although it makes people cry, it is more infinite joy.
In addition to the admirable pursuit of dreams by the elderly, the film also reveals a communication problem in many families. "Every time I make up my mind to go home and have a good meal, either he puts down his chopsticks with a bang or I leave. Everyone thinks I'm kind. Why can't I get along with my parents? " We always give our best temper to outsiders and our worst self to our closest relatives. "We can only go home during the Spring Festival every year. In fact, it is only five or six days, but the time we really spend with our parents is two or three hours every day. Five or six days is more than ten hours, and twenty years is more than two hundred hours. It's terrible to think about it. "
A plot that impressed me deeply was that the old lady in the play recognized Lao Zhou as his wife, and she had to take care of the red envelopes for him during the Double Ninth Festival. Everyone says she has amnesia, but does she really have amnesia? She remembers having a picnic with her wife by the river, remembering his favorite dishes, and remembering the sufferings and sins they suffered together in the hospital, but naturally she felt happy. "People have lived to a state where they should forget everything, but they should not forget everything. This is fucking lucky! "
At the end of the film is Lao Zhou's dream, sleeping forever at the seaside where dawn is coming. He lit his last life, burned his enthusiasm and dreams, and declared to the world with a tragic and firm attitude: even in his twilight years, we can still take a trip! It is because of him that the nursing home swept away the silent style, engaged in "underground activities" behind the dean's back, and bravely pursued dreams with a group of old urchins who returned to nature. He is the soul of this film.
One day, we will grow old.
One day, we will be too old to take care of ourselves.
One day, our bodies will rot.
One day, we will become embryos of loess.
Before that, let's work together to make life burn beautifully and make this long and short life regret!
