"Very heavy movies and very real life."
This is my biggest feeling after watching the movie "Leaping Over the Old People's Home".
The so-called heavy film, one is reflected in the film actors, the average age of the actors in this film is more than 80 years old, and they are all award-winning old artists, and the other is reflected in its simple way to reflect the gradual distance between parents and children in some parents and children in today's society.
Once released in 2012, it won two major awards at home and abroad.
The film mainly depicts the lives of three pairs of elderly people: Lao Ge, who was kicked out of the house, Lao Zhou, who was cut off from his daughter, and Lao Qian, who was thrown into a nursing home by his son.
This is a trip to the nursing home, depicting from the perspective of the elderly the problem of parental pensions that is more cruel than death that the audience can no longer avoid.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >01, Lao Ge</h1>
Old Ge's wife died early, and he wanted to find another wife, but his son did not allow it, so he gave up.
After the son got married, the space in the family was relatively small, and the son took the initiative to introduce the object to Lao Ge and let Lao Ge move out earlier.
Later, his son had an accident and was in urgent need of money, so he asked Lao Ge to borrow money.
At this time, Lao Ge was no longer alone, and he said that he needed to ask for the consent of the family, and the money was not lent to his son.
He was remembered by his son, who thought that Lao Ge was too ruthless and did not even care about his own son, so he broke off contact with him, and even his grandson did not let Lao Ge see it.
Then, Lao Ge's second wife died of cancer, and the same thing happened to his stepson.
The stepson remembered the house and gave Lao Ge 200,000 yuan to let Lao Ge leave.
Leaving Lao Ge went to find his grandson and found that it was his grandson's big day, he gave 200,000 yuan to his grandson as a down payment to buy a house.
His own son did not want to see him, and his stepson also wanted to drive him away, there was no way, and the desperate Old Ge had to run to his friend Lao Zhou in the nursing home.
In the middle of the night, Lao Ge woke up from his dream and found himself incontinent, so he quietly took the sheet to the bathroom and cried while washing.
When Lao Zhou found him, Lao Ge was preparing to hang himself and end his life.
Old, not to be seen by the stepson, the son has always resented himself, Lao Ge's heart is extremely uncomfortable, they all say that raising children to prevent old age, but Lao Ge raised two sons, but he can only go to the old people's home by himself.
How pathetic!
When the son came to the nursing home to return the 200,000, he said: "How much debt have you owed us in the past 20 years?" ”
Thrown over by a bottle of old gao who lived with a spirit that was not normal: "Only you owe us a debt, where is our debt to you!" ”
Lao Gao had three sons in his life, and as a result, they all stared at his little family property, divided the family property, stared at his house, and threw him in the nursing home.
It is said that raising children to prevent aging is reflected in the old Ge and the old gao, not only did not provide for the elderly, but also was chewed on the old.
Who between father and son owes whom?
When the grandson listened to grandpa's things, he returned home and said to his father: This family is too small, Daddy, you should move out!
The same father treated grandpa the same way.
The father was furious when he heard this. You see, when the son did this to him, he felt very cold, and the son who had been raised for so many years wanted to throw himself out.
So why didn't you expect that face he had treated his father at that time?
Parents have done their best to love you, not to make you chill, to raise a dog to recognize the owner, to raise a person? The plot is ironic.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, Lao Zhou</h1>
Lao Zhou is the pistachio of the old people's home, and then, behind him, there is also an untold story.
Lao Zhou's daughter severed ties with him and went to Japan.
Old Zhou went to the nursing home and found himself suffering from cancer, which was in the advanced stage. In order to see his daughter for the last time, he actively organized rehearsals for the elderly and participated in a program in Tianjin, "Super Change".
In order to win the championship, he went to Japan to compete, so that he could follow him to Japan.
Unfortunately, the show is the first, but Lao Zhou also stopped at the sea forever, the opposite side of the sea is Japan, and he can only look at the sea, which is the biggest obstacle between him and his daughter.
Bi Shumin said: Parents are here, there is still a place to come, parents go, and there is only a way back in life.
I don't know if Lao Zhou's daughter will remember the old father who is far away in China and worries about him every day.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >03, old money</h1>
Old Qian lived better than the other old people, at least he had a more filial son.
When the old people ran away, the son of the old money drove to chase after him, talking about the reason for sending his father to the nursing home at that time.
The father is old, loves to drink, and has a bad temper when he drinks, and sending his father to the nursing home is also hoping to control the father when he can't see it.
Later, the dean said this:
If you don't count such an account, our parents are now about seventy years old, assuming they can live another 20 years.
In my case, I can only go home every year for a few days during the Spring Festival, which is actually five or six days, and the time to really spend with my parents every day is only a few hours.
Five or six days is more than ten hours, and twenty years is more than two hundred hours.
I always feel that twenty years is still a long time, but after this calculation, there are only ten days left.
If you think about it, why don't we?
Every year, only 5 days of home during the holidays, 5 days to visit relatives, see friends, really can sit down with their parents and chat time is probably not 3 hours, right?
In this way, it feels terrible to think about, we don't have a lot of time with our parents.

The movie "Leaping Old People's Home" has a simple story and a bland plot, but it is still unfinished.
By describing the story behind these three old people, it is revealed that the nursing home is not the wish of the old people themselves, and before they say goodbye to the world, they only hope to stay with their children for a while, rather than staying in this nursing home and waiting for death.
All this is what the movie wants to tell us.
Talk to your parents more, go back to see your parents often, don't let the time with your parents become infinitely small, and wait until you finally understand it, and then regret it.
Seeing this, why not pick up the phone and talk to your parents on the phone!
