      To savor the warmth

      This film is not eye-catching enough, and I have never read a novel, but through the film, I believe that novels are better than movies. The following is a little personal thought, I want to talk about it with everyone. The film revolves around three elements that run through the film, the house, the dog, and the suspect reported in the media. These three elements are all restraining each other, and affect the old couple together, as well as every character that appears in the movie, yes,...

      This is the rest of my life I want

      After telling the story to Beibei tonight, I clicked on the TV and saw the movie accidentally, so I clicked on to watch it. The story is simple and trivial. An elderly American couple. The husband is a retired black soldier and the wife is an ordinary girl born in Brooklyn. The black guy painted a body oil painting for this girl when he was young. Because of this experience, the white girl withstood the pressure from the secular perspective of the society and the family to break up, married...

      "Quotes"

      "Artists really don't paint to satisfy "The market." Artists actually paint to satisfy themselves."


      "Why are you laughing at me? You're reminding me of that girl with the glasses that I painted so long ago.

      Yeah ? Well, here she ie. And I'll thell you one thing. You're not gonna get my clothes off so easily this time, mister."


      "Nowhere is going to have a view like our place. But maybe Ruth and I have seen all the views we need to. Maybe views are for...

      Interesting movie

      You will find the movie more and more interesting after passing through the beginning of the old man's movie. The black-and-white elderly couple plan to sell their 40-year-old house to buy another one. At the beginning of the movie, the dog, who is regarded as his son, is sick and hospitalized. The high operation fee makes the two characters show their personalities. The role of the real estate agent interspersed in the movie, with a funny professional smile, makes the film fast-paced. The...

    Evaluation action

    The film "5 Flights Up" mildly expressed that money cannot replace memory, and no amount of real estate does not mean that it is a real "home". Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton's performances were nothing less than the fascinating performances the audience expected.
    However, in most cases, "5 Flights Up" is about marriage. This is a marriage that everyone is looking forward to, although many people may not like it when the couple fled to...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Alex Carver: [narrating] When Ruth and I first moved to Brooklyn, it was like an outpost. To our friends in Manhattan, we might as well have moved to Nebraska. It was out of fashion, but a good place for a struggling artist like me. And we liked it, which was good, because it was all we could afford.

    • Sarah: Mom is only trying to say that this marriage is gonna be difficult, Ruth.

      Young Ruth: And what marriage isn't?

      Sarah: There's still so much prejudice, and...

      Young Ruth: Really, Sarah? Thank you for telling me.

      Ruth's Mother: Think of your children.

      Young Ruth: Think of YOUR children!

    • Lily Portman: Well, then I'm gonna say it. You're a crazy old man, who doesn't know what's good for you.

      Ruth Carver: Hey, no, you do not speak to him like that!

      Lily Portman: And you're no better! Fuck you both!

      [walks away with her fist in the air]

      Ruth Carver: I guess we won't be going to her place for Thanksgiving this year.
