Live life or plan dying!
|
Engaging in this movie stimulates our mind about our life and the inevitable death. This 2001 Czech movie provokes one to ponder if you can seriously enjoy and be amused in old age, or will you obsess with preparing for your mortality?
With poignancy and humor, an aging man, Fanda doesn't take life serious, while his nagging wife, Emilie, remains so frustrated with him as she constantly obsesses over preparations for their deaths. Their grown son, contributes to the aura of doom by pressuring the couple to a retirement home so he can have the apartment. We learn that the couple have nothing in common as they live their remaining years.
Fanda is interested in enjoying life! He lives life for today, and while death is certain, it is not on his mind. Together, with his best friend, they embark on schemes, cheating, lying, conning, simply for amusement. Most scheming or conning is harmless, but it can get out of hand.
We sympathize with both, because in reality, most people tend to reflect Emilie's position, and we so much want to enjoy life like Fanda, minus the scheming and conning.
The movie begs the question, do I want to live before I die, or die while I'm alive. Ironically, Vlastimil Brodsk, (Fanda) took his own life shortly after filming the movie. This is a wonderful movie that has garnered numerous awards......MzRizz
