Have you ever seen a son send Lao Tzu to a nursing home, and have you ever seen Lao Tzu send his son to a nursing home?
The 75-year-old Bab is facing such a problem, and his 102-year-old father thinks he is in trouble and actually wants to send him to a nursing home.
It's a shock, this is the Indian comedy "Daddy 102"
The point of view of this drama is actually to tell a story of three generations with different ideas and concepts, as well as the old man's contempt and trade-offs for some things or people.
The storyline of the movie is funny and funny, and even makes people cry, which is a movie that makes people think deeply.
First, I want to send my 75-year-old son to a nursing home
The opening of the film is poignant and absurd. The 75-year-old Babu is an ordinary old man who is cautious and cautious, and his life is dry and shrinking for him.
For those of him who are depressed in their hearts and cannot let go of life, they are afraid of living and dying.
But isn't it?
The 75-year-old Babo looks loveless every day, bathing for only 15 minutes; catching a cold and having to check on him once a week; sleeping with only fixed sheets and insisting on taking various medications.
However, in strong contrast with The Babu, is his father, an "old guy" with a physical age of 102 and a psychological age of 26.
Incredibly, the 102-year-old dad lives like a child, shopping, dancing, and flirting with his sister. To say that he is the son of a babu is not against any sense of discord.
Suddenly one day, Dad brought home a Chinese old man standing card, he is the longest-lived person in the world, living 118 years old, Dad threatened to surpass him, anyway, there is only a 16-year gap.
Dad said that his life was perfect, and Babu was the only stumbling block to breaking the world record because he was so boring.
Then he said that living with his son, even if he was not sick, he would be smothered out of the disease, so he must be sent to a nursing home.
Babb was dumbfounded, what does this have to do with me, he really can't believe that Dad would do such a thing. But when he saw that Dad was actually calling the nursing home, Babu was scared and begged Dad to give him a chance.
Second, if you don't want to go to a nursing home, you have to change yourself
Dad is also a reasonable person, saying that he can give Babu a chance, but he needs to complete several tasks.
The first task is to write a love letter to his dead wife, and Bab is stunned, this is writing a love letter to the deceased, and has never heard of it?
But the thought of not completing the task, will be sent to a nursing home, can only be hard to complete, he pondered bitterly, the paper is torn one after another, fortunately finally in the deadline to write the love.
But as soon as my father opened it, he wrote all about his complaints, and one of the sentences was: My father even sent me to a nursing home, which is crazy. Listening to Dad read the letter aloud, Babu was a little too weak to look at him.
However, to his surprise, dad was not only not angry, but also excitedly said: the first task passed.
Then came the second task, which was to cut a duck on a sleeping blanket, a seemingly difficult task that made Babu dumbfounded again.
It turned out that the sleeping blanket requested by his father, who accompanied him for 60 years, can be said to be a life partner, how can it be said that the cut is cut?
Dad didn't think so, though, and he thought that the first sign of people becoming boring was to look for memories in objects.
So, in order to be a funny old man, you have to cut love and cut the sleeping blanket!
Babo didn't agree, but Dad promised him that he could trade it for another mission, which was to travel around Mumbai in a day.
So, Bab went to the airplane park that he used to come to when he was a child, remembering that his father always told him stories there, and then went to the church to recall the days when he was with his son Xiao Mo.
It turned out that Babu had a son named Xiao Mo, who is now abroad.
Babu and his wife worked hard to provide him with study, but Xiao Mo broke off contact after going abroad, occasionally calling only to ask for money, and even when his mother died, he did not return to China to take a look.
When Babu thought of this, his heart was very unhappy!
In the evening, Babu got on the carriage and remembered the good times he spent with his wife, during which he thought a lot and was full of hope for life.
When he got home, Babu decisively cut three ducklets on the sleeping blanket and then handed the sleeping blanket to Dad, who was very happy!
In fact, Dad could feel that after Babo's tour of Mumbai, he was living a vibrant life. Planting flowers and plants every day and listening to music is a world away from the depression before.
That's what he wants it to be!
Third, break off relations with unfilial piety
When Babu heard about his father's next task, he was still dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe that his father's request this time was to let Babu break off his relationship with the unfilial son Xiao Mo.
Because over the years, he has been indifferent to his family, and even his mother is not willing to see him for the last time, even if he returns to China for the sake of inheritance.
In order to persuade Babu, dad read him all the letters that Xiao Mo sent to his home, and he hid them all these years, just because each one was to ask for money.
Sometimes, even if Babu wants to go abroad to see him, Xiao Mo has to use various reasons to prevaricate: "I am very busy at work, please understand, I want to take care of the children, please understand." “
Xiao Mo's every letter asks for money, and there will be a sentence at the end of each letter, "I hope you can understand."
In fact, why does Babu have no opinion on Xiaobu in his heart?
Recall that before his wife died, he unfortunately suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and even forgot him and his father, but he did not forget his beloved son Xiao Mo.
For 28 days before his death, his family called Xiao Mo every day, hoping that he could return to China to see his mother, but no one answered, for 28 days, until his wife died.
But after all, he was born himself, and Babu still believed that his son still had feelings for his family.
However, in order to make Babu wake up, his father called Xiao Mo directly, and at first he transferred the language mailbox, but when he said that his life was short and he needed to distribute the inheritance with his grandson, Xiao Bu immediately answered the phone and said that he could go home next month.
It seems that for Xiao Mo, the death of his mother is not as important as the distribution of the inheritance, and Babu sees such a situation and secretly wipes his tears from the side.
But Xiao Mo is his own son after all, he really can't bear to embarrass him, he knows that his son wants to go home, he also specially went to the supermarket to purchase, buy the best ingredients and bottles of imported water, and clean Xiao Mo's room spotlessly.
But when he found out that his father was bent on driving away Xiao Mo, he immediately went to the notary office to do the property transfer, gave xiao Mo all the property under his name, and asked his father not to be nosy, otherwise he would see him in court.
At this time, Dad said that he could not wait for that time.
Fourth, the father's good intentions, only for your own good
It turned out that the so-called tasks of sending his son to a nursing home were only specially arranged by his father. Not long ago, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and his life was short, so he wanted to change his son before his death and let him face life optimistically.
Babu read his father's inspection report, and at this time he knew that his father's intentions were good.
Because the father knows that Xiao Mo will become unconscionable when he grows up, and he is afraid that after his death, his son Bab will be forced to become a poor beggar after he loves Xiao Mo and gives him the family property, the father does not want such a thing to happen.
Babu understood his father's heart, but he still wanted to try Xiao Mo, and in the deepest part of his heart he still hoped that what his father thought was wrong.
On the day of Xiao Mo's return to China, Babu personally went to the airport to pick him up, and also carried a photo album with him, wanting to recall the past time with his son, turning the photos page by page, but Xiao Mo felt humiliated and let him leave here quickly.
But Babo was unmoved, and he turned over the photo of his wife's ashes and said that she had not waited for her precious son until she died.
Go on, your grandfather thinks you shouldn't have an inheritance. But as a father, I'll give it to you, and he pulls out a piggy bank with 42 rupees in it. This is Xiao Mo's childhood savings, but also belongs to the happy memories of father and son, Babu said that the money inside is all of Xiao Mo's property, after saying that he threw the piggy bank to the ground and shattered it.
Then Babu yelled at his son Xiao Mo, "Roll!"
The father who peeked at the door, seeing this scene, he whistled happily, and also understood that his son finally woke up and no longer regarded Xiao Mo as the only destination. At the same time, it is also free from the dull lifestyle and can enjoy a happy old age.
At the end of the film, in the last days of dad's life, the father and son watch the stars together, enjoy the flow of people on the street, it rains, they even throw away their umbrellas and dance happily in the rain together.
His father died shortly after, and in a recording left for his son, he said his dream was to travel to the world's highest post office.
And at this moment, he was sitting there and saying to the 118-year-old long-lived old man, my son will definitely surpass you, after all, he is 43 years away.
It's a story full of joy and warmth.
Dad once said to Bab, "As long as you live, don't die," not only to be healthy, but also not to be dead inside, this is the story between two fathers and sons, even if Bab is 75 years old, Dad is still in the last years of his life, carefully arranged the plan to transform him.
Xiao Mo grew up to become a bastard, and Babu, under the guidance of his father, chose to only remember Xiaobu's childhood, as long as his heart is open-minded, life will be less troublesome and more happy!
The reason why "Dad is 102 Years Old" is moving is that on the one hand, it shoots the real status quo and mentality of the elderly, on the other hand, it also shows that they have not given up their ideals of life and the joy of being human.
From Babu, we see the humility behind the old man's begging and his own inadequacies to his parents; from Babu's father, we see the parents' eternal concern for their children and the open-mindedness and decency of an old man with high emotional intelligence.
Arguably, this film is the best version of how older people should face the rest of their lives.
I like the scene at the end of the film where father and son dance together in the rain, the fresh Indian street, there are young people passing by, there are shops full of flowers, the slight drizzle is slanting, And Bab and his father have a smile on their faces, which means that they have the courage to face the world and make me think of being grateful for my parents' concerns.
Stubborn nostalgic people get old fast
There is also a topic, that is, brave to face life, in fact, people are afraid of old, and afraid of old is nothing more than fear of becoming ugly, the more so the faster the old, and the father in the film is 102 years old is still very young, he loves life, has been accepting new things.
When it comes to new things, many reasons for not wanting to learn are that they don't want to change the status quo, they can be said to be lazy, or they are afraid to accept new things, but they imprison themselves.
Before I met a friend of a colleague, she said that she never used WeChat, she only used QQ, I asked her why?
She said she didn't like it, didn't want to use QQ and then change to WeChat, and finally changed to other software, anyway, she didn't like to change it back and forth.
Curious about her answer, she asked her what kind of work she did, and she said that she belonged to a single or nostalgic person, had no plan for life, and if she did one thing, it would be better to do it for five years and ten years.
For her answer, maybe some bosses will like it at first, but she also has a problem is nostalgia, stubbornness, and it is simply an old man's mentality before he is old.
And isn't Bab the nostalgic person? Always looking for memories of the past in some things, I think there are many such people in our lives, whether it is a fake old man who claims to be old, or a person who has no hope for life after marriage and lives a depressed life.
They all think that they are old, "I am all this age and what else to learn, I am this age, I can't help my children or anything, I am at this age it is time to enjoy the blessings," so I was really convinced by myself. Then he lived the life of an elderly person at a young age.
Children are not filial, and do not lose faith in life
Some people in the face of filial piety to their children, life will be tasteless, every day depressed, do not even know how to live in the future, do not know the meaning of life, so slowly the body is getting worse and worse, but the day of death is getting closer and closer.
Before there was a hometown mother, she was following everyone all day, her children were not good to themselves, not filial piety at all, I heard that they also ran to jump into the river, fortunately they were saved, or the consequences were unimaginable.
Later, someone asked her why she was still looking for death, and it was good to be alive. She said that the child was not good for her, so she felt that there was no point in living, remembering that when she was a child, she lived hard with a few children and was not bitter now. When I finished, I cried sadly.
Oh, yes! What if you work hard to pull your children up, but they grow up but they are not good for you?
And Babu is also facing such a problem, he can't think straight, can't think straight, so every day is depressed, lifeless, fortunately his 102-year-old father changed him, so that he can face life well.
Therefore, when the children are not filial, do not lose confidence in life, everyone is independent, you, your parents, your children are, so as Babu's father said, you can choose to remember the happy time, if you are happy when you are a child, then remember the childhood, life is only 102 years, of course, not everyone can live to 102 years old.
But no matter how long we can live, we must cherish the time we live, don't we!
