Undescribable Perfection
Pretty Good
Blistering performances.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
I saw this film by chance & this was a happy coincidence - I mean to see it with open eyes & mind. The story is so simple & deeply touching as truth & life are. A very humane hero- the last role of Harry Dean Stanton - together with an extraordinary company of other characters are giving a very profound performance dealing with so delicate matters as fear of death life, friendship & existence with a smile. So glad I did not miss it, I will see it again & again just like reading Tolstoy again & again.
I will not give more than 2 stars for this very slow annoying movie! I'm still looking for the spiritual part??? Dont lose your time to watch it!
Lucky, a 2017 movie, is about a 90 year old hale and hearty retired Navy officer, who spends the rest of his days busying himself in the vicissitudes of daily life. The movie surely has a very slow pace, and is definitely not for those who don't have a much developed taste in the repertoire of film industry. Just the desert, the blue sky, a bunch of Cactus plants, the old man and couple of his pals have been portrayed in the film. At times, nostalgia sweeps over the old man, and he goes back to the times, places and people he knew and loved.Primarily, the genre of the movie is drama. But, the old man happens to show disgust at times regarding the concepts he doesn't agree with, which drags in a little touch of comedy (Dramedy). Besides, a little philosophical innuendo is also there: the way Lucky discusses the concepts of "realism" and "truth" and mentioned to be growing "afraid" makes a person question the very thoughts of an old man. While many claim Lucky to be a "lonely" person, Lucky defends himself by making the difference between being "alone" and being "lonely" crystal clear. In addition, the concepts of life and impending death, not getting to judge others for their actions, and bearing the burdens of life on our backs, smilingly, have, too, been put forward by a mere example of a 100 year old tortoise, who expects to live a 100 more. In short, it's a slow paced drama film, that happens to inculcate in it the meanings of our life, and questions the very existence of a human soul.
Harry Dean Stanton's last film is a perfect ending to the actor's life. Here is as a cranky 90 year old man. He watches game shows, and does crossword puzzles, while smoking cigarettes and drinking bloody Mary's at a local bar. he also visits a nearby diner on a daily basis, to drink coffee and trade barbs with fellow town residents. His outlook is grim, no God, only an unknown and expanding universe. I am thirty years from 90, but I have a similar view of life as Lucky. Stanton should have been one of the five nominees for the best actor Oscar. I'm sure that he will be part of the tribute of those we've "lost" in the past year. Once again, the Academy blew it.
