The "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is a wonderful movie, whitty, funny, sad, I laughed, I cried.
I saw myself in 30 years and HOPE I´ll be fun then. If alone. Or not? What is the movie about?
Trying. And succeeding, no matter how bad times go.
A group of retirees - strangers - go to an Indian Hotel that just opened up with hard difficulties.
The movie is...
Of being kind and not even knowing you are.
Of panicking, of making up.
Of braving up.
Trust.
Caring for one each other.
Even if you are actually "strangers".
I wanted to give it to the red phone booth, to the students.
But I think I´ll keep it for real dark days.
It´s about life. We have but ONE.
I wanna see "the top of the mountain". Be free. take off, FLY.
(I love Ingo and but Ingo, don´t get me wrong).
I had nice Indian colleagues, male and female 😘
We worked side by side and shared home-made food on Birthdays.
Chatted.
Sadly it was not enough for friendships.
It´s about loyalty.
The woman who lost her Hubby ends with these words:
The only real failure is the failure to try - and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment - as we always must. We came here - and we tried.
All of us, in our different ways....
Too scared of disappointment.
We get up in the morning, we do our best.
Nothing else matters.
And the movie has a happy ending.
And it´s so British and wise.
The person who risks nothing - does nothing - has nothing.
All we know about the future is that it will be different.
Perhaps, what we fear is that it will be the same.
So we must celebrate the changes.
Because as someone once said: Everything will be allright in the end.
And if it´s not allright - impressed me, it´s not yet the end...
A wonderful, clever movie, ... speaking of last post... it was British English and funny to hear.
Tea-time with milk, of course 😁

He would love to meet these people and places!
I never stopped a movie so often to write down what I hear / listen to.
Reckon I´ll have to watch it again, but I really wanted to share, and have the words also for myself...

Sounds like a great movie. I love movies with good ending. Whatever the situation we are in, we have to keep on living. If we don't try, we won't make it. At least we tried.
Yes,to all of it!!
Let´s hope for happy endings!
My eye was drawn to the 23 in the last pic. That's a big number in our family. Both my daughter and I have birthdays on the 23rd and Bill and I got married on the 23rd. :-)
Oh, you are lucky. I mess up dates all the time.
Hope it´s the same month, too?
Mum, 19th September ... a friend, 19th December, me 19th January. Ingo September 26th, Bro October 26th. Drives me nuts, chances are high I forget someone.
That was a wonderful movie, and I really enjoyed it.
Sounds like a good movie.
It is a very good movie, isn't it? I actually know this one (which isn't often I do) and I liked watching it. Thanks for reminding me about it. It might be a good rewatch sometime. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

I watched this movie a couple of years ago and I liked.
After your post it's time to rewatch it with more attention.
:-)
We should pay attention to every day we have, right.
This sounds like a great movie full of respect love and caring, even strangers.
Give it a go. You´ll laugh a lot, too!
I loved this movie too!
Yes, oh, I live behind a rock ;-)
I've heard of the movie but haven't seen it.
It´s a good one. Makes one one think, be humble...
It is one of my most favourite movies and there is a sequel, called The Second Best Marigold Hotel, I love both movies so much. The second movie has the wedding of the young Indian couple :)
I _love_ this movie. I thought to myself, "I wonder if they'd let me move there" but I didn't research it to find out.
I love this movie and watch is often.
This film is a favoite of mine, too -- and it has such a lot to offer, as you pointed out. What a terrific cast!
This is a good film, I enjoyed it.
All the best Jan
