What should I do when a parent who cared for you, it can no longer fend for themselves?
This question falls in the film “Savages” during the ad. “Nursing Home”, called us “elders houses.” This is the most important form of movie main dilemma Tamara Jenkins. The initial issue and a moral obligation to become a parent, over time, only the background to show the transformation of characters, great play by Laura Linney and won Oscar, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Mostly, they might spend almost two hours per session. Conductive thread dying father encouraged me to reflect more than the director might have expected. Tamara Jenkis will endeavor to provide background on the changing emotional and professional decisions of their heroes.
Wendy (Linney) and John (Hoffman) Savage’owie are siblings, both after Forty-year, both in crisis, the average age of unregulated private life. She married in connection with old and a man who does not even planning to divorce, he professor of literature, which can not decide on a wedding with his long-term partner Kasia from Krakow. After parting with the banal reason - to end its visa, which means returning to Poland. Despite that John does not decide on a proposal of marriage, which would change the situation. Their life is in a critical period, he ends his most important book, she seeks the scholarship, to realize their dreams of directing in New York theater.
One day, Wendy receives information about a significant deterioration in the health status of the father, who is staying at Sun City, a unique place in Arizona. Sielankowe town to pensioners, in which the elderly spend their autumn dwojego luxurious life. Older men ride in the streets of melexami to go straight to the golf courses, and elderly ladies at that time, spend time in beauty salons, where only less than fifty people are masseuse, beautician and fryzjerki. During this time, their father dies partner, a very positive role in the American cinema veteran Philip Bosco. When children zjawiają on the spot, it appears that the father is in a severe state of dementia, requires constant nursing care, has significant difficulty in establishing contact, in addition has to leave the house where they lived with fiancee at Sun City. In this situation, siblings decide to put the father in “Nursing Home”, nursing homes.
The greatest value of the film, in addition to an important phase reminder to viewers, which is not unknown almost every one of us, is a great scene in the bar, when children ask, father, or if coma wishes to artificially keeping him alive or disconnect the equipment, or an attempt to determine how Burial - traditional or cremation. By the way we see how they evolve sibling relationship to each other, people can not and will not able to set up their own families, who are deprived of their traditional lifestyle, family outsiderów. Perhaps it combine their ties of blood, but in fact are quite foreign to one another, do not know anything about his present life, not come into contact with each other, not helping each other, do not promote in any case. This issue nowadays, when the standard is for us a model family, there is a growing number of so-called. “singles”, fewer and fewer weekends and holidays we spend with his family, gaining on news. The film takes so key issues, which are an everyday occurrence in all of us.
During seansu immediately reminded me of the movie “Dad” Gary David Goldberg, 1989, made on the basis of bestseller novel by William Wharton. However the director has focused mainly on the demonstration of a dying father’s relationship with his son, meanwhile Savage’owie, on the occasion of care for the father, closer to one another as brothers and sisters, from which each after reaching his mature years has gone its own way. Thanks to the breakthrough in the situation of their family life mature enough to decide personal and professional, which zaważą to continue their lives. Form father in the middle of the movie descends to the second plan, his forthcoming death paradoxically motivates the characters to life changes.
Great creations actor, nominated for the Oscar, Golden Globe, an excellent scenario, a major life-above all the inevitable, sometimes humiliating old age parents are indisputable arguments to come “Savage’s”, survive their V, to evaluate their decisions, and the film call also to their parents.
