Enjoyed the beginning of the film. It is almost 20 minutes long, depicting courtyards, old age, classical instruments, beautiful houses, green lawns, etc. It is an ideal place, slow but with a heavy sense of power.
About a quarter of the time into the movie, I realized that the protagonists were the four old men of the quartet. They had distinct personalities, fears of not wanting to face a bad self, and regrets that the past could not end. The words he said were all with the kind of disregard and a little bit of willfulness of an old child. I thought it was quite funny, especially the scene where Xiang Qianqian went to apologize to everyone after she broke the flower.
The artist is old and still an artist. Being able to retain long-term hobbies and continue to show this kind of beauty and decency in life and living with similar people, although there are not many years in old age, it is very rare to be in a hurry in life. It is true when you are getting old To face yourself, being able to do this is already an amazing thing.
How should you spend your old age in peace? There are some very worthy references in this film, such as bravely facing the problems left by the past, reconciling with friends, honestly facing yourself, no longer afraid of the outside world's evaluation of yourself, and finding new goals in life. ...
How should I arrange myself when I am old? I don't want to die alone, nor do I want to be noisy with a family, but the nursing homes in China should not improve their standards, so I will consider traveling when I am old! No matter what stage of life, socializing, exercising, basking in the sun, and reading books are all enjoyable.
The quartet is not a dead sound, but a new face of life.
I really like the filter in the movie, the picture is very beautiful and comfortable. However, because I don't know much about opera, and it is a musical movie in itself, I regret that I have lost another auditory aesthetic of watching.
