Yes it's hard to see your children get old..😮especially when you out live them

Much like the Movie "Interstellar"

There's an anime move with a similar concept. I forgot its title, but it was also pretty sad.

Found it! THe title is "Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms"

@@cmilus892 Thanks, I’m gonna check it out!

@@bigzachfulwatch Frieren too while you're at it

Absolutely. Not the best movie, but somehow this one sticks with us forever.

its impossible. Humans bond with other humans even if you didnt have family, you would become friends with people and build connections. If you never build any emotional connections or attachments with people, then it would be a very sad immortal life.

I disagree. Sad as it may be… humans are wonderful at adapting. The older you become, the more loved ones you will lose. It’s both sad and very lucky we are able to get used to it. Having less loved ones to begin with is not a healthy answer to the problem. In fact I would argue the opposite. Having more children you love and help grow to adulthood the better. If one tragically passes before you(which happens often to people that live well into old age), having other children and loved ones to live for and sacrifice for makes life worth living. Having no one and nothing has crushed the souls of even young healthy people.

The daughter is played by Ellen Burstyn. Michiel Huisman plays Ellis. But otherwise I completely agree with your comment. The acting made me believe.

That's amazing 💙

yes that's what the movie is implying but realistically new restaurants/businesses/etc open (and close) all the time.

She knows this fact very well. She turns out to have been very wealthy herself, and was able to purchase and preserve the city's first indoor drive-in movie theater. Which she then used to reciprocate his date, to invite him somewhere he'd never been before. Equally clever.

And perfect, and fabulous and again, perfect.

Uhh...I disagree. She has the glamour and demeanor of a regal 50's-born woman. . Good casting, I say

I don’t agree or disagree either. But, I understand it’s how I feel about Tom Cruise. My synopsis of his movies are: 1. Tom’s hair blowing in wind while riding motorcycle. 2. Explosions. 3. Tom’s hair blowing from window of fast moving car. 4. Explosion and repeat.

@@DibIrkeni second this. She has that graceful air of a much older mature person

@@juliadouglas872really? When someone says Tom cruise I think only at his horrible teeth. 😂

@@juliadouglas872agree

It is just a movie. Techinaclly most tv love plots or book love plots have holes of things that is not socially acceptable.

​@@nicholerubes2959Yes it's just a movie. But people mimic things they see and then point to the original content to justify the bad behaviour.

@@alyssawoodman they would try to justify any bad behavior in romance. Movie or no. They have done so long before TV. Long before plays. I bet justify a woman's clothes to be the reason why she was raped goes back to ancient greek times. Some cultures today believe it so much they discourge woman to show certian characteristics because it is too tempting. Like hair for a little christian culture. They have women wrap their hair and forbidden them to wear it down because it is too sinful. They blame some rapes do to a woman showing it off. Truth is bad people will do bad things. No matter what

Guys that are too nice don't get dates. Women gravitate towards men who know what they want.

Have not seen this movie, but that was the first thing that came up... from what I gather, these two don't know each other well yet. This could work if the characters knew each other well enough for it to be clear that it's a joke by the man, and the lady just agrees because she actually is infatuated with him, but needed a little push/finds his antics funny and agrees in the moment. But in the way it is presented the man comes off as a prick basically extorting the woman in a professional setting, where she would then be somewhat responsible for losing out on a meaningful contribution to her work, because she doesn't want to go on a date. The way this is presented makes the man look _really_ bad.

Oh yes, this is the weakest part of the movie. He constantly crosses boundaries and pushes when she says no. I was baffled that there was no twist about him turning abusive, because he was always teetering between enamored and obsessive. Then suddenly, she responded positively to his pushing and I wondered: is this supposed to be "old-fashioned courting"? Is that working for her because she's an older generation woman? If so, what a strange take. The movie starts with her being able to tell everything about a man from his watch; surely she should also be able to recognize red flags?

You people need to take some flirting classes, because you seem unable to distinguish what it is! Seriously, get off your phones and try to get real lives. You know, with real people, actual off-the-cuff witty banter, in actual real life settings. I feel so sorry for the men, having to sort out women who are clever enough to flirt back, or might be damaged by previous life experiences, but will still test the water to see if they are intelligent enough to have a sense of humor and can move on. Adaline did.

@@suesmith8372 It's actually much easier for men now: no means no, and the lack of yes also means no. Women who "play hard to get" by saying no when they actually want the man to be pushy get accused of playing mind games - and rightly so. That kind of nonsense has no place in the society anymore. But I wonder if Adaline's character is supposed to be a little bit like that because of her birthdate. If so, again, what a weird thing to put in your movie without addressing it.

@@RPG_Angie Let me help you out: Adaline lived through WWII, and the horror of finding out that people in Hitler's concentration camps were dying from medical experiments. This was confirmed by her statement to William that she ran because she didn't want to become a specimen. Also, she lived through McCarthyism, when people didn't trust the U.S. government as they were chasing down communists in Hollywood and everywhere, based on her statement to the FBI as they captured her, "I'm a good American citizen!", stating they just wanted to run a few tests on her, after the traffic cop stole her ID. Nor did she want to lose another love. She had already buried a husband, and ran from William, not wanting to bury another, too much heartache, she said. She fell in love with Ellis on New Year's Eve, and was intrigued when he told her he wasn't involved after all. But she was hesitant to dip her toe in the water, as she already changed her identity, as they explained she did every decade, preparing to move to Oregon. So, she had trust issues, but was intrigued. A little bit of impressive flirting on his part won her over. The donation, just so he could have the opportunity to cleverly bring her the books, a move she actually called "very clever" as they all had titles of flowers, all so that he had the opportunity to chat and ask her out. I saw an interview with the actor portraying Ellis, who said it was love at first sight for his character, who felt his mission was to break down her barriers to love again. Ellis obviously couldn't have known her reasons to not love again were legitimate fear and hurt. It was her daughter who convinced her she was safe after all these years, and to give Ellis a chance after she ignored his calls after she suffered the loss of another one of her dogs. I was happy he was concerned enough about her to find her, after he thought they had a great dinner date, in case something happened to her after she left his place, even arriving with flowers in tow. If you can't see how well meaning he is, I am sorry you didn't understand the depth of the movie. Clearly he cared about her.

😂😂😂Exactly my thoughts. But I am 35😂 😢

@@ermeyibni7642 proof that the heart stays young forever😂❤️

Agreed. That's a manipulation tactic and I don't like it. Would he have still done it if she had said she was in a relationship ? Maybe. Though the answer of no should be sufficient.

Agreed. After she said no to the date, that should have been it. Before that he was just being more direct in his intentions, once she said "impossible" that was the queue to back off.

Exactly well spoken.

100% Manipulative and self serving.

Yep, some things don't age well at all. Like most old Harrison Ford stuff, used to be normal, not anymore.

literally everything you've said doesnt even happen in the movie that you CLEARLY have not watched. get your facts together before having opinions first, dude dont be so ignorant

The mother? Do you mean the daughter? Cuz you do realize that adaline is the mother

Yeah, I'd just say, it's alright we have enough books ƪ⁠(⁠‾⁠.⁠‾⁠“⁠)⁠┐
