I wasn't in the right mood for this. I was in the mood for a comedy and I thought it would be more comedic. There are comedic elements, but its really a thoughtful film. I will re-watch it someday and appreciate it more, I am sure. The idea certainly is interesting in a way that Hollywood wouldn't approach now days, considering it boring. To judge an old man as foolish in the first scene, then to go back in time with him, seeing how he was as a young man... explaining why he is how he is now, so that the audience by the end has changed perspective. We start out the film against him, and by the end, we love him. I think Tom Hardy could play Roger Livesey's role in a remake. I would pay to see that.
