In terms of expression, Living Together does not use the narrative style of the protagonist commonly used in traditional biographies to connect flashbacks or insertions. Instead, let the camera freely change in the life of young and old Iris, without adding too much foreshadowing narrative. What the audience saw was the sharp contrast between the enthusiastic young Iris and the gaunt old Iris. What remains constant between them is the love and care of her husband john ashbery. The film didn't have a happy ending in which love triumphed over disease. Perhaps the director just wants the audience to face up to the helplessness and cruelty of life, so as to realize that it is not easy and valuable to be with each other for 40 years in real life and to love each other for a lifetime.
Human affection and love are the themes that can most impress the audience, and they are also timeless and timeless. Many viewers can't help but sigh and even burst into tears after watching the movie. They were deeply moved by the sincere feelings of the old man in the film and expressed sympathy and pity for the misfortune that happened to them.
"Together for Life" is an enduring love movie. There is only affection and love in the world. This film provides a good material for the shooting of emotional films in the future and has become an eternal theme in the film industry.
The film investment is only $5.5 million, all of which are completed by British producers and actors. In order to be nominated for the Oscar, the film has been specially premiered in LA and new york in February 2000114, and the official release will wait until June 2002 18 in the UK. The reason why this film actively participates in the Oscar competition is, of course, because of its two heroines: Judi Dench and kate winslet. It should be said that these two actors are the best candidates to play Aerith, regardless of their acting skills or fame. Judi Dench, in particular, is not only very similar to the protagonist in the film in appearance, but also comparable to Aerith in the eyes of many people who are familiar with her. At the same time, Judi Dench is a loyal reader of Aerith, so it is most appropriate for her to interpret her idol. Judi Dench won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and this time she was nominated for Best Actress for her role.
