"He’s not in love with you.
He likes you. I know he likes you a whole lot.
But he doesn’t love you like the way that he should."
Go, go crazy in Las Vegas
It's a combination that makes your mind widen and you can't even imagine. Two Oscars for Best Actor, two Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, plus an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Oh my God, if it's the peak of these five people, it will bring unpredictable box office guarantees. However, it is precisely because these five people are no longer gorgeous that the producer has the opportunity to put together this table, as the saying goes, no longer crazy, it is old. Wait until you are really old, and if you go crazy, your heart will not be able to stand it.
The award-winning works of the film emperors, enlarged pictures have highlights
The story begins when Billy, played by Michael Douglas, is finally getting married. I don't know what kind of work he does, anyway, he is worth a lot, lives in a mansion, dresses fashionably, his fiancée's father is big on his side, and Billy's backstory is made up by everyone. Suddenly, Billy gave a parting speech at his friend's funeral, feeling that time was ticking, so he proposed to his girlfriend. In order to advance the progress of the plot, it is very ingenious to cut directly into the theme and propose marriage at the funeral.
The first encounter of the four kings at the airport
Billy gathers his friends from childhood to adulthood, Sam (played by Kevin Klein), an elderly man who lives an ordinary and unremarkable life with his wife, life loses fun, feelings lose passion, everything is in order, participate in elderly activities, and ten years of blandness. Archie (played by Morgan Freeman), after retirement, lives with his son and daughter-in-law, helps with the children, and when the son's family goes out to play, leaving the widowed old man to guard the empty house. Paddy (played by Robert De Niro), beloved wife (the only woman in the group of 5 as a child) has just died a year ago, and she is depressed and feels that she has lost the meaning of her entire existence. It is such a four heavenly kings, when you are old, different circumstances, the same is, boring life, boring life, meaningless life.
With its own aura, it is so handsome!
In this way, Sam, who was allowed to meet by his wife, took Archie, who escaped from prison under the supervision of his son, kidnapped Paddy at home, and went to Las Vegas to meet the prosperous Billy. The 4 people waited for the hotel to vacate the room and met the resident singer Diana at the bar. Since then, this group of elderly Oscar discos has been formed.
Old men who can't get tired of looking at them
The impression of Las Vegas is of beautiful women wearing bikinis, hotels with luxurious suites, casinos with money and bars that linger. Yes, the itinerary of a group of people simply and directly connects these elements perfectly. Archie took out the general pension from home, came to the casino to gamble, earned enough money for the next trip, he visited the casino, drunk bars, watched beautiful women, without the supervision of his son, he found the ease of his youth, even if his son saw through the lie, rushed to Las Vegas, Archie also dared to express his chest with his son, no longer as before, always worried that his son would be angry, he obeyed his son's wishes, but against his own will.
The wine that symbolizes friendship has been put on for 50 years, and it has long been no longer that taste
As for our Sam, whether he always wanted to have a chance to have sex in his heart, or really listened to his wife's words, and after he came, he had all kinds of opportunities to create sexual encounters, which made a lot of jokes. Because he did not wear glasses, he mistakenly flirted with the actors dressed as women as beautiful women, and as a result, he became good friends with them and brought his brothers to their performances. At the party that followed, Sam did get to know a beautiful young woman. The beautiful woman's clothes were stripped naked, and Sam realized. The comfortable life has smoothed out his passion, and the impulse he has always wanted is not to fool around with other women behind his wife's back, but to regain the happy time with his wife when he was young.
In the teenage fivesome, Sophia only has a teenage girl
A hidden thread in the story is the emotional entanglement between Billy and Paddy. I remember mentioning earlier that when I was a child, my playmate was 5 people, including a girl- Sophia. Both Billy and Paddy liked Sophia at the time, and Billy voluntarily opted out in order to complete Paddy. A year ago, Solja died of illness, and Billy did not dare to come to the funeral, because he did not dare to face himself, did not dare to face his brothers, felt that everyone had their own home, everyone was no longer as close as before, he was afraid of getting old, afraid of loneliness.

The drug that billifies Billy's words that have been holding in his heart for years is that Paddy and Billy are now looking at Diana at the same time. Diana helped Paddy out of the pain of losing his wife, but that didn't mean Diana liked Paddy. Paddy is also thinking about what love is, after leaving Diana, after returning to the original life, starting a new family and starting a new journey. This time, Paddy also showed off with Billy's fiancée for Billy, and the old cow was not necessarily suitable for tender grass. 50 years ago, Billy made a sacrifice for Paddy, and 50 years later, Paddy helped Billy find true love.
Rediscover the meaning of life for each other and start a new life
Finally, a Hollywood-style happy ending. Everyone finds their true trajectory, and also finds a comfortable intersection between each other, looking forward to the next reunion, this time, Billy is really going to marry Diana, and the four brothers are back together again.
If the movie evaluation: when young and vigorous, cherish the good friends around you; when the twilight years are approaching, those who can get together and talk about the mountains are all good friends made when they were young. Friendship lasts forever, love is great.
