At this age, their simplest wish may be to be accompanied by someone. As for whether it is your favorite person or the relationship between the two parties, it doesn't matter anymore, just because of the natural law of "trees are afraid of withering, people are afraid of loneliness". However, such a simple wish is sometimes not easy to realize. It’s okay if the children have time and energy to accompany them, but many people tend to be like the old Warren played by Jack Nicholson in this film. There is no one to accompany them, so they are very lonely.
The old wife is gone, and her daughter lives in a different place. In addition to work, she is busy with the wedding. Warren, who can't bear the sadness and loneliness, has no choice but to travel alone by car (if that counts as a trip). He drove the RV alone to the old place where he lived when he was a child, and went to the university
he used to go to...On the way, he occasionally met a clinician who understood his heart well, and Warren’s thoughts were seen through. , The old man who had no psychological defense in front of strangers said to the woman who had only known each other for an hour: "Although we only met for about an hour, I feel that you know me more than my wife Helen. We have been married for 42 years. It's been 42 years..."
The daughter she cares about can't accompany her. At this time, the extremely fragile Warren was easily knocked to the bone by a few words from a stranger. Warren, who was in extreme loneliness, couldn't help but hug her when her husband went out to buy beer. The woman's expression was embarrassing, but Warren needed this warmth, like a medical emergency. Perhaps, extreme loneliness can really make people confused. While hugging, Warren suddenly forced a kiss. The strange woman was furious, and Warren was driven out of the other's RV.
The old man dragged his old legs awkwardly to his RV. At this time, the soundtrack of the movie is a melodious waltz, which is the same as the waltz of Shostakovich in "Eye-opener". Not much waltz that makes people feel lonely.
Warren didn't want his daughter to marry the bald, long-haired man, but he didn't persuade his daughter. In the end, Warren, who figured it out, only said what should be said and only did what should be done at the wedding of his daughter, in order to make everyone happy, even though it was difficult for him to be happy.
Finally, after the wedding, Warren returned to the big house where he lived alone. After going upstairs, he received a reply from Africa. The writer was a nun who took care of the African orphan supported by Warren. The letter said that the child had received all his letters. In order to thank Warren for his funding, the child who had never met before and did not know how to write drew a picture for the old man. The painting is very simple, under the blue sky and white clouds, a pair of big hands are holding a pair of small hands. Warren burst into tears, and soon he laughed again. At this time, the world seemed to be less lonely.
