Film review:
A strange beginning is doomed to a strange ending. A magical story about an extraordinary life.
An old people's home frequented by death is as dead as a fetus, but it has become Benjamin Barton's spiritual home, interpreting the calmness and poetry of life and death.
A surge of youthful lust, a cosmopolitan crew life, wrote a natural and calm absurd story, leaving irreparable regret in life.
A young and lively girl, connected with the hearts of legendary old children, made a vow to care for her life and performed a love epic where you will go.
Love that touches the soul always makes the viewer emotional, but love that is doomed to be unable to continue writing is the most beautiful swan song in the world. "Rejuvenation", a time-space staggered story, a dying person's life reminiscence before his death, a quiet reading and a lengthy narrative, let me smell the desolation of life, the impermanence of life and death, and the helplessness of love.
Whether it's a clock with the hands turned backwards, an upcoming storm, a sudden war, a 68-year-old lover who crossed the English Channel, a captain who claimed to be a tattoo artist, and a hummingbird who flaps its wings 80 times a second to survive ... it's like a bright pearl connecting life into an unparalleled necklace. It constitutes countless intersections that are deeply hidden in our minds and hearts. At this countless crossroads, including each of us, there is only one person who is doomed to be unable to put down calmly. It is not only Benjamin's dense diary for a lifetime, but also Daisy's last life summary and emotional memories when she lies in her hospital bed.
A sailor and a dancer, two completely different and diametrically opposite life trajectories, met perfectly in a nursing home ravaged by death and met briefly after Daisy was unable to dance in a car accident. At the intersection of life and a glimpse, two souls, like sparks on phosphorus paper, lit the most brilliant flame in a bleak life.
Fire is so short and weak that people can't bear to breathe and touch it. It is tightly wrapped by two happy hearts in the beautiful and quiet Florida harbor, but it still can't escape the fate of waiting quietly behind it. Well-informed Benjamin finally chose to leave all his possessions and leave alone before his daughter remembered him, because he knew that his daughter not only needed a playmate, but also Daisy could not take care of two "children".
In the last mile of his life, Benjamin, who was over 70 years old and suffered from Alzheimer's disease, forgot his past life and his eternal love with Daisy, and was sent back to the nursing home by the police. He leaned over the piano and cast a deja vu glance behind him. Benjamin who lost himself and Benjamin who lost his necklace suffered from amnesia day and night, and were finally adopted by Daisy who lost her husband until she became a dumb baby.
Benjamin ended his unique life in his infancy, in the arms of his lover Daisy. At the last moment of his life, he stared at the grandmother-like old woman with childish eyes for a long time, and finally closed his eyes gently. Daisy said she knew, and Benjamin recognized who she was.
Let go of your body and leave your heart here.
Good night, Benjamin; Good night, Daisy. ...
In the dark, a calm and long ending song sounded, which made me wake up from a trance, as if I had been burned by a match. Long after the end of the movie, my life will soon return to normal, just like the clock in the town railway station that has been turned back for 85 years, but my heart has been clearly burned by the eternal love of Benjamin and Daisy. The whole dull ignition point is like a white spot left by sparks in the dark, which is really illusory and makes me lose my mind.
