Indian films are very inclusive, and in recent years, they have successively produced box office successes such as "My God" and "Wrestling! Daddy, The Starting Line, and Toilet Hero are all imaginative and realistic masterpieces that reveal social problems. After paying attention to secular prejudices, education systems, and gender differences, the upcoming "Dad 102 Years Old", which will be released on November 30, has turned the lens on the now increasingly serious problem of social aging.
Aging is widespread all over the world, especially in populous countries such as China and India, whether in rural or urban areas, the number of empty nesters is increasing day by day, because of the lack of adequate care, their lives are very lonely, and often seen as a burden, few people can really understand their living situation and inner world.
In such a situation, "Dad 102 Years Old" gives a very special perspective, not from the perspective of young people to care for the elderly, but through a sudden contradiction between a pair of elderly fathers and sons, so that the elderly can achieve self-liberation, bring encouragement to the elderly in reality, and bring reflection to young people.
The father in the film, Dartley, is 102 years old, but the psychological age is quite young, and this old naughty boy has always been very open-minded and optimistic, wanting to live another 16 years to break the world record for longevity. In order to achieve this goal, he actually "played with his heart" to send his 75-year-old son Babu to a nursing home, so as not to disturb his longevity plan.
If he doesn't want to go to the nursing home, the son must complete a series of crazy tasks listed by his father, writing love letters, saying goodbye to doctors, cutting sheets, and revisiting the same place, these tasks are more fun than one, and the audience laughs along with this crazy task. However, as the plot deepens, we will gradually discover the well-intentionedness of a father. Even though he is 102 years old, he is still as enthusiastic and responsible as a young man, and raises his 75-year-old son like a child. Blood is thicker than water, father and son are connected, all he does is not to let the child rekindle the enthusiasm for life, the real intention is so touching, when the truth is revealed, the audience in the theater began to quietly sob, the real laughter with tears, hit the softest area of everyone's heart.
"Dad 102 Years Old" shows the current living situation of the elderly through such a special father-son love story, without deliberate exaggeration and rendering, nor to show off bitterness and sadness, but through a unique perspective, interesting characters, laughter and tears in the story, let us truly enter the protagonist's world at zero distance. It makes us understand that the elderly are not a burden to their children, they can live happily and autonomously, and at the same time understand that no matter how old they are, as long as they love the life in front of them, they can live a wonderful life.
The 102-year-old father still loves life so much, the 75-year-old son can still feel the beauty of life again, like our young people who are only thirty or forty years old, what reason is there to be discouraged. After watching the movie, after laughing and crying, I feel that the world is particularly bright and full of life. Recommend this Indian movie with strong positive energy to everyone, if you feel that you are powerless to live, come and see this movie to recharge.
