The movie

The cinema has treated seniors issues from different perspectives some more optimistic than others. I think that also the type of movies that we look at something tells us about our vision of our seniors. 

For example driving miss Daisy shows the social differences that are strongly reflected in the disparity in resources and education of the 2 main characters, however it is their mutual company at the end of the film virtually all that is left of them. The nicest thing of this story is seen as part from a total distrust to mutual respect and affection between the protagonists.

One of my favorites is the movie dad with the unforgettable Jack Lemmon as a person of senior living subjugated to the strong character of his wife, when it is your child suffers a cardiac infarct travels to accompany him along with the corresponding adventures own to live together in form parallel to the father detect you cancer, disease that has you panic by what suffers strong changes in his personality. In a second time the character revives with a vitality and zest for life that had not shown before trying to experiment and learn as a teenager. His death ends up generating positive changes in your family.

Closing the ring, the appearance of a ring in a place where a bomber crashed during the second world war marks the beginning of a series of stories that continue to the present day with 2 seniors as major players. It's a story that shows that people always can give the time to give second chances.

The bucket list, on the one hand shows the friendship that comes from 2 very different people who are going through the same situation of health (terminal illness). They decide to complete with a list of tasks or things that want to do before you die. The degree of friendship that is generated is impressive is a film that can not miss.

Finally I recommend big fish, here the protagonist is a father, who is seriously sick by what his son in the company of his wife and son waiting depart to the House. Throughout his life the father has told fantastic stories associated with its different stages in life from how he met his wife, through your stay at a circus, the war, birth of his son, etc. His son ever appreciate these stories considering them fantasies that bear relation to reality, until he finally manages to understand that part of life also requires fantasizing and tell stories.
