tearjerker director

Chapter 906 Nowhere to Be Old and Enjoy Your Old Age
The screening of "Sister Tao" is over.

As Li Yi expected, the domestic audience's response to this movie may not be as good as "The Thief of Time", but the response of foreign audiences is much higher than that of "The Thief of Time".

Don't think that Western audiences are rough people with a lot of family affection, especially in Italy, where a son always talks about the noodles made by his mother, a grandpa often becomes the godfather of the next door kid, and an old Sicilian movie projectionist. country.Mutual help and love in life, and asking for warmth among relatives may actually be part of daily life, but they are temporarily ignored in the busyness, but when all these surge on the screen, no heart can remain indifferent, and no heart can remain indifferent. The eyes can also help the body evaporate water.

In fact, a movie like "The Thief of Time" would have had a good response here, but because "The Thief of Time" was too rich in the culture of that era unique to Hong Kong Island, many elements in it made some people feel a little It's cloudy and foggy, so the reaction is more general.

But "Sister Tao" is different. Although it also tells the story of Hong Kong Island, it focuses more on the elderly and servants.

For many foreigners, their aging is actually more serious than Hong Kong Island and China.

So, on the contrary, it can have a deeper resonance.

After the screening of "Sister Tao", the screenings were almost full.

Even foreign reporters burst into tears on the spot!
Because the topic of old-age care is universal in the whole world, it can even be said that the situation in foreign countries is more prominent.

Perhaps economically, those old people in foreign countries are better than those on Hong Kong Island, but emotionally they are missing too much.

Therefore, it is a matter of course that the show magazine score of "Sister Tao" is much higher than that of "The Thief of Time".

Of course, the background of "Sister Tao" is Hong Kong Island, and the age is closer to "The Thief of Time", so many Hong Kong Island film critics and media people have a deeper feeling for this movie.

After all, "The Thief of Time" is about a relatively general concept, lamenting the years and recalling the past.

Like old photos, it makes people sigh, but "Sister Tao" is closer to reality and the present.

If we talk about the love in "The Thief of Time", the experience of the Luo family in it may make some people who have similar experiences feel deeply moved and resonate emotionally.

But the same "The Thief of Time" is actually a past event that belongs to Hong Kong Island to a certain extent.

But "Sister Tao" is different. Although the protagonist of the story is the servant sister Tao, in fact, what is extended is the topic of "no country for old people".

And everyone will grow old, everyone will have that day, then naturally they will have more feelings for this movie.

The editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly", Zhou Qingquan immediately wrote an emotional film review and sent it back to China.

""Sister Tao" - No Country for Old People and Enjoy Your Old Age in Peace!"

"Every old man wants to enjoy his old age peacefully and spend his last days happily.

With the general trend of aging becoming more and more serious, the topic of old-age care has gradually become a topic of concern to people.

Because each of us will grow old one day, So Yi's "Sister Tao" tells the story of a servant's old age rather than a story about old age.

For old people, it is enviable to have children to accompany them in their later years.However, many elderly people cannot enjoy this kind of treatment due to various reasons, so they can only go to nursing homes.

In "Sister Tao", the director of the nursing home said that now there are nursing homes all over Hong Kong Island, as many as convenience stores.

This has to be said to be a great tragedy for society.

We all understand that for the elderly, if there is no other way, no one is willing to leave their children and live in a nursing home. It is cruel to watch one after another old people leave every day, as if they are counting down their own lives. things.

I think the reason why the movie "Sister Tao" looks very plain, without deliberate sensationalism, without deliberately creating a tear-jerking atmosphere, but still makes the viewers cry, is because this film makes people feel The flow of love also makes people see the loneliness and desolation of the elderly in the nursing home.

There is no love for no reason in the world. Sister Tao is a domestic servant who has worked in the Liang family for 60 years.She has always regarded the old and young of the Liang family as her own relatives, and took care of them with all her heart.

It can be said that Sister Tao devoted her entire life to the Liang family. She was never married and had no children. She had been working as a servant in the Liang family since she was thirteen years old. A servant's job!

In fact, she has already become a part of the Liang family. From top to bottom, the Liang family is so kind to Sister Tao. Every one of them has left Sister Tao's imprint in the process of growing up.

But because Sister Tao is unmarried and has no children, she can only live in a nursing home in her old age.

Simply, her old age, at least with Roger's care, is like the sun appearing in winter, warm.

She and Roger have a master-servant relationship, but the relationship between the two is like that of mother and child. Although it seems that there is not much communication between them when Sister Tao is well, after many years, they have become accustomed to each other. Maybe it's not because they don't want to communicate more, but because they have tacitly surpassed the relationship between mother and child. Sister Tao can understand Roger's words, expressions, and actions.

Before Sister Tao got sick, Luo Jie lived the life of a young master. He opened his mouth and stretched out his clothes when he was eating, and he didn't even know how to use a simple washing machine.

After Sister Tao became ill, Roger's life suddenly became a mess, which made him suddenly pay attention. It has been etched into all his memories.

He began to clumsily learn to take care of Sister Tao, making soup for her, even though it was not so delicious, taking her to watch the movie premiere, and putting fish meat in a bowl for her.

Whenever he was free, he went to see Sister Tao and chatted with her.Sister Tao was seriously ill. Sister Tao was sitting in a wheelchair, and he pushed her to bask in the sun.

Sister Tao has no children in her life. Luo Jie chose this method to let Sister Tao make up for this shortcoming in her later years, because Sister Tao gave all her love to the Liang family.

So in the end he gave Sister Tao a retirement pension, and Roger's sister voluntarily paid for Sister Tao's expenses after a hundred years.

Sister Tao used to take care of Roger's grandma who had a stroke, Roger's mother, and took care of four generations.

Sister Tao used her selfless love to give to the Liang family, and what she gave back was also full of love.

When Luo Jie's mother was hospitalized, Sister Tao took care of her in every possible way. She wished she could move the kitchen at home to the hospital.

Sister Tao lives in a nursing home. Roger's mother visits Sister Tao and cooks bird's nest for her.

She knew that Sister Tao gave her socks when her feet were cold in winter, and gave her her own scarf.

She vacated a house in her family for Elder Sister Tao to live in.

Sister Tao is very kind to every member of Luo Jie's family, and what the family members give back to Sister Tao is gratitude and respect.

The first anniversary of the birth of the fifth-generation child of the Liang family invited Sister Tao to participate.When taking a group photo, let Sister Tao sit in the middle.

Everyone is very close to Sister Tao, because Sister Tao treats them as her own family and takes good care of them with all her heart.In fact, if she could, Sister Tao was still willing to continue, but unfortunately, she couldn't do it anymore.

The people in the nursing home are the epitome of the whole society.

Aunt Jin, Sister Tao’s first friend in the nursing home, like many traditional mothers with old ideas, stubbornly favors sons over daughters, and transfers the house to her son prematurely.The sons and daughters sent her to the nursing home, and agreed that the sons and daughters would share the pension, but the son's share was delayed.

Every time Aunt Jin called her son, she always left a message, and she was always invisible.

The daughter has always loved Aunt Jin, even though she has always complained that she is partial to her son, accusing her mother of treating her like grass and her son like a treasure.

During the Chinese New Year, Aunt Jin had been waiting for her son to pick her up for the New Year, but it never came.

The daughter came to invite her to go to celebrate the New Year with her, but she refused to go, she always wanted to go to her son.

She was only willing to go to her daughter's house for the New Year under the persuasion of Sister Tao.Aunt Jin accidentally fell in the toilet, was sent to the hospital and never woke up again.

The daughter tidied up Aunt Jin's belongings and carefully held the pillow she had used during her lifetime. Thinking of Aunt Jin, tears fell down her cheeks.

When she finished signing and left the nursing home, she couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly in front of everyone.

She will never complain that her mother is partial to her son, because she will never see her mother again, and all her feelings for her mother will be turned into endless thoughts.

In the face of life and death, she chose to forgive her mother's eccentricity. The sad thing is that the baby son that Aunt Jin has been thinking about all the time, from her appearance to her death, there is no one.Instead, it was her daughter who often came to see her and see her off for the last time.

Aunt Jin's tragedy is largely due to her education method and old ideas. She spoils her son too much and doesn't pay much attention to her daughter.

But such a situation is not uncommon in today's society.

In fact, Aunt Jin doesn't ask for much, or every elderly person doesn't ask for much. What the elderly need is not even meticulous company at all times, but even a little care.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, a group of people, under the banner of condolences to the nursing home, are actually doing superficial efforts.

The female singer sang to the old man, and faced the old man with a smile on her face. When the singing was over, she stood by the side with a face full of anger and reluctance.

They distribute mooncakes to the elderly, and take them back after the filming is finished.

The old man sat on the bench, and wave after wave of people came to visit them in name, but in fact they were just using the pretense to achieve their business goals.

The old man was tired and wanted to go back and rest.The director of the nursing home asked them to bear it a little longer.

The old people are not enjoying it, they are obviously suffering.

It's just that these people should ask themselves, if one day when you grow old, will you be like them?
The old people don't need expensive gifts, what they need is someone who can chat with them and really care about them. They have come to the last period of their lives, but they just want to get a little comfort when they are lonely, but It's just that, but still can't ask for it.

After watching the movie "Sister Tao", in addition to being moved by the love between Roger and Sister Tao, which is like a mother and child, I also have a deep fear of nursing homes.

In nursing homes, I see more loneliness and desolation of the elderly.

In nursing homes, for many young people, countless reasons can be given, such as where they can find many friends, they will not be so lonely, they will have someone to take care of them, etc., etc.

In the New Year, the elderly without the company of their relatives can only spend time alone, as if abandoned by the world.

Aunt Jin fell in the toilet and was carried away by an ambulance.The old people in the nursing home looked at all this with their heads stretched out.

They are used to parting here, and they know that when people get older, they will be taken away by the god of death at any time.

But isn't this the cruelest thing to do to the old people living in the nursing home?
Their helpless and helpless figures make people feel distressed. I hope that all the elderly can rely on and rely on when they grow old.

I hope that there will be more caring people who care for the elderly and bring happiness to their old age. "
