"Ladies in Lavender" The Old Man Who Stopped Time

I like this movie very much, especially for my own quiet viewing. Although it's not a very famous work, I really like the atmosphere created by this movie, and I also like this type of movie very much. A quiet movie that tells a story is as beautiful as a painting.

Oscar winner Maggie Smith starring Judi Dench. British director Charles Dance.

Time is in front of everyone, Ursula and Janet have never had a complete love, and they have grown old in time.

The most memorable scene for me is when Andrea leaves, Ursula misses Andrea, huddles up on Andrea's bed, showing how much the old man needs love.

    3 and a half stars. It's too named. . . But the story is tender and sad, like a violin piece. The acting of the two sisters is really delicate

    When an old man falls in love with you, when she decides to burn with the last heat this time. That is the yearning for youth, the nostalgia for life. It will be quieter, deeper, fiercer, and more hopeless than any other love. So you have to cherish it extra. There is no need for pity, only respect and awe, this love for life.
