      Love is forever

      "The Cocoon" is an old sci-fi film of the 80s with a strong romantic color. The sci-fi films of that era liked to shoot space aliens. The magnificent vision and the epic pattern make the movies filmed at that time have extraordinary charm. Although it seems that many of them are beautiful dreams, the feelings have to be moved. And that era has always been a dream for me. In the film, several elderly people in the seaside nursing home are either terminally ill or have long lost their...

      this world

      Going to a place of immortality is immortality, right? So for us, does the person who went to that far place mean immortality or passing away? Do people pass away when they go? Does passing away mean annihilation or immortality? Maybe eternal life is eternal life, and eternal life is eternal life. Maybe these are not important, the important thing is that love still exists and everything exists.

      "I want to go there, but if I want to make a choice between living with you for a mere six...

      Although it is old, it feels good.

      In 1985, the comedy science fiction movie "The Cocoon | Cocoon "

      The movie is old enough. . Older than I am, but it doesn't look ugly. It feels like an old version of ET. .

      The story is rather full, and the characters are well portrayed. Only half of the time I saw it, I realized it was a comedy. . But it feels good and I really want to keep watching. .

      Aliens are really reasonable. Maybe it’s a reflection of our...

      There are wood and wood in American prints. . Look at the actors who played these old men are also dead now, rejuvenation is really just a legend. PS: I have always believed that dolphins are the most intelligent creatures on...

      Thanks for watching while drinking. This kind of way of pulling the green onions in the dry land and trying to force a piece of magnificent music into it even though nothing happened, I find it heart-wrenching. And this script. It seems that as long as the body is immortal, all problems can be solved. They paid no attention to their own problems. Live till old and selfish till...

      6/10. When a few old guys get together, they will always talk about the green years of the past. Their physical strength rejuvenates and reshapes the style of the past. The nature of loving adventure, cherishing friendship, and showing style has not changed. The story focuses on the most ordinary daily life of the characters. The tired rhythm and restrained emotions will make you feel very boring when you watch it, but it will be more memorable after watching it. Describing the aliens as a...

      Even though it's a bit more open-minded, it's still very touching and touching. A group of elderly people have lived an immortal life with aliens, and it is really beautiful to think about. There are actually Jessica Tandy and Maureen Stapleton in the supporting roles! It is puzzling that the award-winning male supporting role...

Playing in the swimming pool next door is the interest of these old friends. At the same time, Jack Bonner (played by Steve Guttenberg) , who runs a boat rental,...

    Evaluation action

    The shortcoming of "Cocoon" lies in the ending. In the familiar "alien movie" field, most of the characters did not make a different design, and did not have a completely amazing breakthrough, but the special visual The effect is indeed wonderful. ("Chicago Tribune" review) The director and screenwriter set the whole plot as a sentimental fable, which is the greatest damage to the film's effect. (Comment on "Time Out") The director's...
