"Dad's 102 Years Old"
The film tells the interesting and heartwarming story between a 102-year-old father, Datley, who is full of energy in India, and his 75-year-old son, Babu, who is very sad.
The two live in a traditional Indian residence rich in style and "retire" with almost opposite lifestyles.
The film uses a very strong contrasting method, such as the attitude of the father and the son, such as the two refrigerators in the home, such as the absurd "father sends his son to the nursing home" The story begins and gradually reveals the deep father's love as it develops, such as Babu's attitude towards his "unfilial son", such as the change in Babu's attitude towards life. These all lay the foundation for a higher foothold.
Personally, I think there are a few main points.
1. Don't let the life you worked hard to stretch become dull.
Babu's life actually ended when his son went to America and his wife died. "You are alive, but you are dead". The monotonous trajectory of life every day, no fun and no passion. In fact, it is very similar to many of us. Although we are still young, there are also such a group of people who label themselves as "Buddhist" or "everyday mourning", and have no pursuit of life, just like Babu, who is not interested in everything except praying for the care of his son That way. If you are such a group of people, you might as well watch this video and give your life the weight it deserves.
2. Father's love is like a mountain
Whether it's Dutley's "I can't let your son beat my son" and everything he did, or Babu's confrontation with his father to defend his son, the details of Babu's purchases in the supermarket actually convey such a theme . The father is not afraid that his son will hate him and wants to let his son Babu "live" again when his life is about to come to an end.
I thought that if I could call my parents after watching the film, it would not be a waste of the director and actor's heart.
3. Learn to refuse, let go of unworthy obsessions, and open your hands to embrace the world
In the film, Babu's only sustenance is to immigrate to the United States early. Even if his mother died, he did not come back to visit him. He wrote letters to his son, "I hope you can understand". This is undoubtedly Babu's selfless love for his son, but for the unfilial son, Babu's old-fashioned concept of selfless devotion makes him unhappy all day long. After the efforts of Babu's father, as Dart said, "I finally saw him smile." And the ending is also, Babu, who had been expecting his son to come back, rejected him at the airport, and also started his future life. You obviously have the opportunity to see the world, why bother getting into that invisible cage?
That's it, and I, I hope I'll always be eighteen~
