The savages, i just watched this movie, one of my most-wanna-see movie recently. This is a story about children how to face and deal with their aging and dying parents , even if they've let u down or failed u, but they just turned too old to remember u, which happend so soon like all in a minute and totally out of ur control. In this case, should we have to do sth to save? what can we do? The movie's answer is yes and u have a lot to do and to think about.

In this movie, Laura linney and Philp seymour hoffman are staring of the sister and brother, who lives a lonely life far departly. They met again when they heard their father's health was not quite well, and they decide to spend their dad's last days together . The first thing the movie attracts me is the cast, and i just wanna say ,they r such brilliant to show the weakness of lonely, the tiny but warm love in family, and their shining career dreams in tough life. Two of the world's best actor and actress, worthy to see the movie just because of that.

Two scenes empressed me a lot. The first is On the way brother and sister driving car to the nursing home, father turn down the earing and looking out of window to get rid of disturbing by his children's fight, and what he saw from the window is a burial park. The second one is the last scene, Laura is running with her bf's old dog, which is almost done with Euthanasia, the morning is full of sunshine, warm and hopeful.

All in one, this is a movie full of tiny and real sad warm touching emotions, and leave u to think more about ur life and ur response if ur in the same situation. What should u do? I think u already have the answer, so just do it, as soon as u can!

    A story about perseverance, Ning whose middle-aged life is not full of pain and entanglement. Facing it head-on, it won't be harder than you think, and you will be disappointed when you lose it - just like this?

The Savages quotes

  • Jon Savage: Dad's not the one that has a problem with the Valley View. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation. Dad's situation is fine. He's never gonna adjust to it if we keep yanking him outta there. And, actually, this upward mobility fixation of yours, it's counterproductive and, frankly, pretty selfish. Because it's not about Dad, it's about you and your guilt. That's what these places prey upon.

    Wendy Savage: I happen to think it's nicer here.

    Jon Savage: Of course you do, because you are the consumer they want to target. You are the guilty demographic. The landscaping, the neighborhoods of care; they're not for the residents, they're for the relatives. People like you and me who don't want to admit to what's really going on here.

    Wendy Savage: Which is what, Jon?

    Jon Savage: People are dying, Wendy! Right inside that beautiful building right now, it's a fucking horror show! And all this wellness propaganda and the landscaping, it's just there to obscure the miserable fact that people die! And death is gaseous and gruesome and it's filled with shit and piss and rotten stink!

  • Jon Savage: [about his girlfriend] She's moving back to Poland.

    Wendy Savage: What, you and Kasia broke up?

    Jon Savage: No,her visa expired.

    Wendy Savage: So that's it? Her visa expires, and it's over.

    Jon Savage: It's either that or we get married and no one's ready for that.
