"Quartet": Old age, unfinished singing

A group of retired senior singing artists live in a nursing home dedicated to them. Although there is not much fun away from the bustling city, the scenery is beautiful and quiet, everyone can get along well, and they are actively preparing for the annual fundraising concert, which can be regarded as a busy time for everyone. Recently, an old woman who was newly admitted to the hospital looked like a singer back then, but she was the ex-wife of an old man in the hospital. I don't know how much old love and hatred the two have accumulated, and the old man avoids the old woman for fear of being too late. There were even people who brought everyone together to sing a short segment, which set off a climax of the concert and contributed to fundraising. After some persuasion and enlightenment, the old man forgave the ruthlessness of the old woman, and the old woman agreed to perform on stage again. In the end, the four of them made a trip, and there was a chance to renew the brilliant passion quartet.

Based on the nearly 80-year-old South African screenwriter Ronald Harwood's stage play of the same name, the film was directed by the long-lost Dustin Hoffman, who made his debut at the age of 75. And brought together many old British drama bones, the famous Maggie Smith, Billy Connolly, who is like Dustin Hoffman, and Michael Dumbledore, who played Dumbledore in "Harry Potter". Gambon, Tom Courtenay, who won the title of British jazz, and Pauline Collins, the veteran British actress, vividly interpret the amnesia of old age. It can be said that this is an out-and-out senior team.

With the support of a strong popular lineup and a famous script, after Dustin Hoffman wasted no time in adding various meaty jokes, it is better than the "Late Quartet" starring Christopher Walken and Philip Seymour Hoffman. witty and profound. Different from the Indian style of "Foreign Hotel", it is somewhat like "Flying over the Nursing Home". It's just that there are not many ups and downs, and some memories, accompanied by songs, a group of superstars of the year, in the harmonious and warm picture, retrieve the feeling of infinite scenery. Perhaps, this is a peaceful old age! Be content with the status quo, recall the past, hold on to small dreams, and slowly welcome the last ray of light at dusk.
