It's a very different attitude in these new films to age. And its expectations spoor back 75 years to 1937, and a classic of retirement drama Make Way for Tomorrow, directed by Leo McCarey. It's a heart-breaking yet complex melodrama about a couple who have to surrender their home to the bank and live with their children, a poignant study of renunciation and resignation.
Make Way for Tomorrow was admired by the Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, whose 1953 Tokyo Story depicts the gap between generations. Even Michael Haneke's Amour the great critical success of last year, about the final months of a Parisian couple has something of that unsparing elegy. But these other new films, dramas, romances, thrillers, comedies, from King's Speech, and Best Exotic Marigold Hotel through The Expendables, and even perhaps Skyfall, celebrate the strength and maturity. They're not necessarily about the last years of life but they do deal with grown-up topics, history, difficult relationships, and they suggest that there's much still ahead, much still to fight for and enjoy, no resignation for these guys. So when did the cinema industry first notice the trend? Charles Gant is an analyst of cinema attendance.
Really for me, the tipping point is The King's Speech. So even now The King's Speech, obviously had a much more varied age of characters, than for example, a film like Quartet or even Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.汤姆·康特奈和比利·康诺利参演的电影《四重奏》于本周上映，为12A级影片。这部电影对晚年持有不同的态度。75年前，莱奥·麦卡雷于1937年导演了一部以老年为题材的经典影片《明日之歌》。这部电影讲述了一个让人心碎却又情绪复杂的故事：一对老年夫妇的房屋被银行回收，不得不和孩子们生活在一起。电影借此探讨了关于与抛弃和听天由命这样令人心酸的话题。
日本导演小津安二郎特别欣赏《明日之歌》，并在1953年拍摄了电影《东京物语》，讲述了两代人间的鸿沟。就连迈克尔·哈内克在去年取得巨大成功的电影《爱》更是一曲毫无保留的的挽歌，讲述一对老年夫妇在生命的最后几个月的经历。然而其他新片、戏剧、爱情片、恐怖片、喜剧片，从《国王的演讲》《涉外大酒店》《敢死队》甚至是《007之大破天降杀机》，都在赞美力量和成长。他们并没有关注老年生活，但他们都在探讨关于成长、历史、人际关系等话题，而且故事都没有结束，未来仍等着剧中人物去拼搏、享受，他们不会任由老天摆布。那么，电影业是何时注意到这样的趋势的？查尔斯·加纳是研究影院上座率的分析家。
对我而言，《国王的演讲》是一个转折点，影片中有很多来自不同年龄层的角色。即使到了现在，剧中人物仍比《四重奏》和《涉外大酒店》丰富。
