Mmm, well what can one say to such an extraordinary movie, and, for me one that touches on so many levels. I am a septuagenarian ( age 74 ) and an Emeritus ( retired ) Professor of Early Medieval History - Oxford University UK. My wife, of thirty eight years passed away ten years ago, this month - and you don`t forget !!!!! Since then, I have lived alone in a house full of books, and memories - and I have learnt to be content with that, and accepting of the loss, the space that cannot be filled, the voice and the laughter forever fled. Reel Vision Movies, thank you for uploading this - I am not, in anyway a movie buff, but so pleased that I noticed this one - thank you :)
gentle hug Mr Toreon from me in Cornwall, UK and my recently beloved dog daughter Boo in the great gig in the sky , I can not bear to put away her things and certainly will never part with them , I feel you 🙏🏼🤍🐾
If you feel we need educating on terms you use, then talk plainly because it is actually insulting. Intelligent people know this builds bridges instead of moats. Just fyi. No disrespect intended. 🙏🏻🫂🐈✨🌻🌱🌻🇨🇦🙋🏻♀️ As we all are painfully are aware, loneliness is universal. Age and amount of time spent are part of life. However not not everyone is so fortunate to have had love nvm for any period if time. 😢
I hope you have friends or family around to socialise with. I'd 40 years of marriage - joined at the heart. Now, 13 years, home alone. The loud silence continues. Plus, my family has since moved away, abroad. We were so very close...it's different. I am grateful for technology letting me be with them, albeit from a distance.
Oh my goodness..had me in tears..I was the 'Pauline'.My dearest friend and mentor, John Henderson and his labrador Sophie found their way to my tea garden.I found out that his precious wife died 5 years earlier of cancer. I promised myself every time he visited I would sit with him in the garden sharing a cup of tea even though I was very busy .I would drive out and take him meals when he was ill.John passed away in my families home at the age of 84 due to cancer and I was blessed to have his precious Sophie which was his request in his will.John did not have any children,Sophie was his life. Thank you for enriching my life John,your love,wisdom ,humour,and our priceless times spent together ..
How very kind and considerate you were to John - I feel quite certain that he was much appreciative of it. As I have mentioned in other replies, I was extremely fortunate, that I had some very supportive members of faculty, together with a few surprisingly kind, sweet and concerned students who collectively helped me through the initial highly emotional first year or so of grief. That strength that one receives from compassionate people at such a time, can never be underestimated, undervalued or underappreciated. I am quite sure John felt the same :)
Thank you so much for uploading this beautiful picture! I am an old lonely woman, a widow I could say, and I am surrounded with thousands of books which are my friends... Thank you again, and I wish you a very happy new year!

Almost 5 year’s ago my beautiful husband died within 8 weeks age 61, I’m now 65 & we were together 44 year’s & I miss him terribly…………I’m just kind of coming to terms of a life without him. I’m now stronger & very independent, but I miss that he always held my hand. On our first date he held my hand & never ever let go! I know he’s waiting for me, but not just yet. My only love, my first love & definitely my last love 💔🌹🇫🇷🇬🇧
My husband died 15 and a half years ago and I still miss him. Life is hard when it is without the one we loved. Your husband was way too young. I'm really sorry. Xx
You know what love is. Not everybody is that lucky. But the lost is extremely hard. I only know the lost of my dog. Easily done. I wish you all the best. 🤗
I can't believe this movie!!! It's so fantastic! A perfect story and acting! I love a movie that actually teaches you to be who you are but become better! Plus a movie of this quality teaches you to live and love and be a better listener, and think before you speak. It shows you there is purpose in living! This is one of the best movies I've ever seen! Thank you Reel Vision Movies and RUclips for sharing this movie...... a true Masterpiece.
I truly appreciate how you expressed EXACTLY how this movie affected me so much. I've lost so many loved one's & albeit still a young senior & I have a wonderful "amor", life has a way throwing one off balance. Gracias so much for putting into words what is still alive in me. It's beautiful that there are still such profound writer's. Padre God be Praised for life. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
But , her husband could find no purpose in living. Not rven for his grown children, nor his grandkids He met a young woman, youn enough to be his granddaughter or youngest daughter I think he wanted a relationship with her, because she reminded him of his wife of long ago when they were young She seems to be missing a father, but had no idea he has two grown children of his own That he just can't seem to love nor get along with It's a touching story on so many levels❤
@@sherribatko8981 Yes, but before he died, he did talk with his son and the son finally understood many things. Pauline reminded him of his wife when she was young, right from the start that was the attraction. In the end the son and Pauline would have been happy, married and have the special holiday home. It was a shame that the grandson was not worth living for.
It was painful to see a father not to care about his kids and grandchildren. Not even Pauline since she wanted his son not him. She would have had become his daughter -in-law and would have had kids. Does it mean that he didn’t have feeling for his his kids neither his grandchildren?! (Never wanted a child). 🙁
I started watching this because Michael Caine was on the photo. I discovered the astounding work of the whole team, the cast, the story writers, the cameramen, the music score, the director. Hint: I am 75 and Michael Caine is very convincing as an old and selfish man. The whole film too. And I really start being convinced by the young actress. She stands her place, fronting a monument like Michael Caine.
Here in France Clémence Poésy has quite a success but I had no idea she could even speak English and very fluently too. Both her parents are French. She went to a bi-lingual school I see.
@@martincannon1078 She speaks English in a few Harry Potter films, using a French accent because the script said so. She's bilingual without any accent.
My husband died suddenly in our bed, and I'm still barely breathing, I have excellent health, but my heart is broken and I miss him so much. It's honestly every single day that I discover something else that I miss about him. Nothing is going to jump start my life at this point, I am content with the memories we made. RIP Gene 7 23 2020 ❤
@weezie5432 Thank you so much, and I am sorry for your loss too. The Holidays are so sad after years and years of being spectacular. But, we all adjust eventually. Sending prayers of peace for you. Be blessed and continue to be a beautiful blessing.
I am 71 and have a number of close friends half my age both men and women. My husband of 40 years died last year. This film seems accurate to me in the way they have dealt with loss. Most of my close friends for decades have died in the last few years. I appreciate a film dealing with this topic.
I totally relate and empathize because so many of my friends will my parents and siblings aunts uncles grandparents are all gone even though I'm only 65 and I'm fit and active and many people think I'm in my 50s I'm still alone a lot...
First, my condolences for your loss. I agree with you regarding this film, except for one element. Considering Mathew is depicted as an octogenarian, it seemed extremely unlikely to me, that he would be able to step into, and out of a bobbing, moving row boat without potentially tipping over the side !!!!! Sensibly, the film director chose not to put Michael Caine`s life at risk - and used a stand in for the long lens shot - I only mention this, as my own balance, at age 74 would be equally fraught with peril :)
This is like Under The Tuscan Sun in reverse. I'm a 70 year old woman who is going through the process of divesting myself of things that no longer have a deep meaning for me. I had breast cancer and surgery a year ago. It's stages of life, I guess...
I am older, my husband died 5 years ago , having to face the reality of having to clear ones apartment of a lifetime of memories is not easy,Take care, will keep you in my prayers 🌻
@tinapeters5725 thank you Tina. I believe in Jesus and heaven is very real to me. I don't fear death. I've been widowed for 35 years now. That's half my lifetime ago. I know I'll meet John again on the other side. We carry on though, don't we?
Beautiful movie. I learned from an early age, at 10 when my little brother passed, that life is a constant stream of goodbyes. Lost my mother twice. At 17 when I was sent away to the US, she stayed behind. Didn't see her alive again. She passed 8 years later. I've had many dear friends leave. My marriage ended some 20 years ago. My son stayed with his mother. Lost both my wife and son. Never married again. Living life in oblivion. Just biding time. I don't want to say goodbye to anyone anymore.
I won’t say goodbye here….hello! 😊. Think of every “hello”. We are still here to greet the human race ,..and each one of us needs a smile or a listening ear..and the words…Hello, you are awesome!”
@@laurapuchalski7402 Hello. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in despair. It's just that it's sad saying goodbye to your loved ones. I have an older cousin, that it's more like my sister since she was raised by my mother, and whenever she comes to visit I really don't like going to the airport with her, but I do and we don't say goodbye, we say see you soon. Thank you for your kind words.
Saturday, September 21st, 2024 - a damp, foggy day in 'Olde England'. And then, as I have nearly given up hope of finding something to watch, I discover this absolute masterpiece. What a wonderful treat: Michael Caine, Michelle Goddet, Gillian Anderson, and the actor who played Miles. Thank you 😊. But, please don't cut the credits...❤
One of the better things to show up in the algorithm. Superb actors. Definitely non Hollywood movie. Non predictable script, story with meaning and not at all the happy ending as often can be.
Well, yes it did have a happy ending for Pauline, she gained a family with his son and grandson, the truly special holiday home and a real future. So she kept her surrogate father close too.
❤ Yup... I'm widowed and my husband passed jan 22, and he looked like Michael Caine and 6ft 2ins.....what a beautiful film and to almost see my husband alive again..❤
He is alive in heaven! Saving you a place in a garden... 🏠🌻🙋🏻♀️🫂💙💙💙🇨🇦I never found true love. You sure are blessed. My kitty was my true soul mate, but gone Aug 26. I am 63. I look forward to seeing her again. 20 years by my side. Died in my arms. My daughter. Her name was Lil Pooh.
Simply marvellous. As a person of a certain age, twice divorced with kids on two continents and a cancer fighter living alone in a flat in a foreign country, surrounded boxes of memories. This film has really touched me.
Best wishes, your life sounds like a movie. Hope it ends well and someday in the far distant future you find yourself in heaven! Hope you know how much God loves you ❤️
I know only too well the torment of having children on two different continents . Sydney to London , 10,600 miles or 17,000 kilometres. Whenever I'm in either city, I miss the others.
What a wonderful film.So poignant and beautifully crafted. I will watch anything Michael Caine is in..such a lovely man and talent. The setting in France added another positive quality. I am a septagenarian and dealing with life threatening illness and found this touched many emotions.
Dear fellow human being, created in the image of God. He loves you so much that he watched his only son murdered to set us free. If you don't know him, I beg you to. One day all suffering will be killed for good. Take care and be encouraged... From Bahamas
I needed this. Widowed since 1986. Two forty something daughters. Families of their own. All living in other states. I’ve become my father. Great movie. Thank you “Reel Vision Movies” and RUclips.
I am 65 and i used to despise my dad. Over the years i have come to realise the truth about the way he was. I wish he was here so i could chat and say sorry to him. R.I.P dad
He is not here, but that does not mean you can not talk to him, (out loud if you like,but preferably when no one is around!!!!!)🤭🤨🤨!! I do, regularly, & no one has come to take me away yet.🤔 I really find that it helps, and makes me feel less guilty for some of the things which I said & now regret
@@mickmchale1 I talk to him and my wife used to ask who i am talking to, now she just lets me get on with it. Yup. i feel better when i tell him and my grandparents i now understand what it was all about. Not a truer phrase said, "you dont know what you got till its gone"😢😢
@bogtrottername7001 having seen the film, I have seen that I love his apartment. Whether I have seen anything else has not entered the conversation because it wasn't what I intended to talk about. Hope that clarifies matters.
"You don’t love life itself. You love places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone, who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is gonna stop too. But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, you can miss a single being, even though you are surrounded by countless others. Those people are like extras. They cloud your vision. They’re a meaningless crowd. They’re an unwelcome distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude, but solitude only makes you wither."
@@AnaLuizaHella Beautifully written. I don't enjoy the solitude, but I am unwilling to release the beautiful memories of my family that has crossed over. Particularly my husband and only child. I replay the day's over and over in my mind everyday... just to placate my broken heart. My isolated life feels normal at this point. I don't even know if my Enclave will crank, I just get everything delivered. Maybe one day, I will release it all, but for now, it helps me breathe.
@@sherrih6375 sweetie, it's a long process. You're on the right track. There's no short cut. It aches but that's the way it is. There are no words I can tell you. Just be patience to yourself. Remember for as long as you need. I wish you all the best. Love you. ❤️🙏❤️
This was a great story. I fell in love with Paris the first time I visited when I was 26, in 1985. Although I'm an American, I felt more at home in Paris than I ever did anywhere in the U.S. It felt like coming home to me. I stayed in a pension on the 8th floor -- all those stairs! I had the room that Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald stayed in for two years in the Latin Quarter. So I like to watch movies set in Paris. I fell in love there with an artist from Cairo who I met at the Louvre. This comes closer to the Paris I knew back then, more than all the other films put together. I returned to Paris in 2006, when I was 53. It was so different. There had been so much terrorism that gendarmes marched in squads with AK-47s under the Eiffel Tower, and there weren't any trash cans, so nobody could plant a bomb in one. All the joie-de-vivre that I had loved so much was gone. This was a sad story, but it was also about redemption between a father and son, and it was a love story. Maybe that's why it moved me so much. It reminded me of an older gentlemen who I spent time with while I was a college student, and that made it possible for me to understand how this beautiful young woman was drawn to him. I was so taken with the acting of Michael Caine and Michelle Goddet, that I wasn't prepared to be blown away by the incredible acting of Justin Kirk, who played Morgan's son Miles, as he grieves for his mother, and connects with his father. Beautiful settings, great cast, moving story with characters who grow and develop. It has all the characteristics that make a movie great, and the universal appeal of a story that everyone can learn from.
@@E-Kat It wasn't expensive back in 1985. I got a round-trip ticket on a charter plane for $500. For that first trip, I scrimped and saved on my low salary as a library clerk. I skipped eating out for a year. A friend's mother let me live in a bedroom in her basement for $100 a month, to help me make my dream come true of going to Europe. When I returned, my fellow workers didn't believe that I went to Paris.
@@E-Kat We stayed in touch for a few years. He was planning to visit me in the U.S., but that summer the dollar got really strong, and made it impossible. Many French people who usually made an annual trip to the U.S. were not able to make it that year. I earned my master's degree to teach English, and had a baby as a single mother, moved to LA and started teaching. Then I went to teach English in Japan, and when I returned my address book was stolen, and I lost touch with him then, along with many other friends in Japan. This was before cellphones. At least this is the timeline that I think I remember.
For a philosopher, solitude gives you time to think and this does not make you wither. Just the opposite. It gives you greater range of purpose. She's rowing their boat. Gorgeous scene.
Notice that he says that "you seek oblivion in solitude but solitude only makes you wither." It's not the creative solitude. I'm sure you understand. I like solitude but only when I want.
I am glad that all worked out for them in the end. Loneliness and sadness are hard to deal with, so I am so thankful to have Jesus in my life to lean on in times of sadness or trouble and for guidance. I just hope that all who are lonely or sad for what ever reason, will in times of these difficulties will, like me call out to God and ask Him to help you and I know He will answer you like He did me and I have lived a much better life since. I hope you all do too.
Amen!!! God so loved the world that he gave everything for us. The devil can't take anything that God can't give back , weather in this life or the glorious joys of heaven.
I'm sometimes wondering. If I lose a loved partner I cry and it hurts like hell. If I lose a most miserable partner I'm relieved. Loved partner, miserable partner? The choice is easy, despite serious pains. I wish you all best, you have my sympathy.
I don't know if anyone has watched "Daisies in December", but it's well worth watching, if you liked this movie. I'm widowed...will be 30 years this December since my dear, sweet, precious husband left this earth...he was just 51 years old...seems like yesterday, some days, like another lifetime ago, other days. I miss him terribly & our only child too...an almost 8-month old baby daughter. I've felt like ending it all & tried a couple times, years ago now, but it didn't work out, so I'm still here...I do truly feel like I was left with nothing...life goes on for those of us left behind, but our broken hearts still bid for that safe place to cry & scream & dance alone in our dreams... It was supposed to be "minus one day" for me...I prayed for that so hard...they were my world, my life... Blessings to all who find themselves here🙏♥
I know your pain. My darling husband died aged 42 almost 23years ago on 31st December 2001. Our son and daughter were the only ones that kept me alive. He would have been so proud of the wonderful people they have become. Losing a vibrant and funny man who had still so much to give has left a massive hole in our lives.
Oh what a beautiful, heart touching film. I spent a cherished part of my childhood in France with my Mother and Father. (Both now deceased) I returned to France for good, fifteen years ago and with this film I walked through familiar Parisian streets and along the Seine again. I am temporarily in Alsace at the moment, but Paris will always be my favorite city in the whole world, and just this morning as I strolled through a Sunday Antique market, in spirit I was back in Nice strolling through the Sunday Marketplace in "old town". An unforgetable Sunday for me. We still dream and remember even in our eighties...
Sometime the wife is the one who holds the family together and when she passes it is difficult for everyone. Usually the husband goes first and I think its less difficult for everyone. We must learn to appreciate each other and be accepting of family choices.
This was a wonderful movie. Life can be hard regardless of one’s circumstances. I hope that Matthew’s son and Pauline found love and raised his son and more children of their own at that beautiful home by the beach. Matthew wasn’t the bad father he thought he was. He loved his wife so much she was his world, he didn’t want to live after she died. Not so very much different than when my grandmother died of a broken heart within six months of my grandfather’s death. He died from a heart attack and she didn’t want to live anymore just like Matthew.
Masterful little touches like him being motivated to unstick his famous French windows and let in the sun in the air after just a little bit of kindness from a stranger just goes to show how much little connections really matter! I consider myself to be widowed since 2009, 13 years at this writing, from the man I expected to marry and be my future, and I felt somewhat Frozen ever since his passing even though we were only together two years and never married...... Some of my dreams for a sane future went with his passing and I feel like an empty shell sometimes looking for meaning in so many people and places and things and activities that I do seek out, but it's so hard to find depth...😢
Not sure I can watch this at this time; my wife of 58 years is in her fifth year dementia following a stroke , half paralyzed . She’s no longer here with me and yet she’s with me everyday, full time
What a beautiful movie! I cried a lot with the love and anger family conflict. Many times we just waste time being angry at each other until we are brave enough to say sorry and I love you like the son told his father: "I adore you" when the father told him "I didn't want you to be like me"....
You maybe somewhat mistaken...devils advocate...anger may be the tool which people utilise to protect themselves from those who they know could be harmful towards them. It exists for many other reasons, not least as a way of communicating feelings and emotions, so don't be so blinkered as to assume that just because you see zero value in it, others may not share your view.
Great movie. Michael Caine stared in 1966 as "Alfie" a young self-centered man, focused on his own priorities until events force him to question his uncaring behavior and ends with Mr. Morgan in 2013 a old self-centered man, focused on his own priorities until events force him to question his uncaring behavior . Ironic?
This film was released on 12 September 2014, the leading lady is called Pauline. My birthday anniversary is 12 September, my name is Pauline. This is a powerful film. Thank you for posting😊
Clémence Poésy is a rare talent. And with Michael Caine, they truly brought out some strong emotions while masterfully developing such a dramatic subject matter. Bravo Reel Vision Movies for posting this movie!
I didn’t know how to say good bye to my Bob. He kept staying around for me. He knew I didn’t want him to leave me, he had cancer. He stayed around for me. My girlfriend said u have to let him go. The hospice nurses could not figure out why he was still alive. I finally realized after my girlfriend told me to tell him it was ok, I would be ok. The next morning he was gone. He had stage four cancer for 4 years. I tell him at night how sorry I am for having him hang on so long. I didn’t know. I know he forgives me. It’s very hard to forgive your own self.
What a beautiful and touching movie, indeed a gem! It touches on so many levels of ‘being human’. Very well acted and amazingly produced. Thank you for sharing it on RUclips❤
Thoughtful film, well acted and serene. Not for young or middle aged. When one experiences a big loss when comparatively young, one still might recover and find joy in life. Old age is different. A loss puts a burden on already frailing shoulders , when family is independent, one loses the purpose of life. Suicide leaves that guilt on family, if any behind, but everyone is different and copes as one can.
Very depressing.Excellently done, but very depressing! Both his parents were very selfish,especially his mother, though she was suffering, not to say goodbye.Dont people realize the pain those left behind suffer??? Very heartbreaking
I suppose you didn't loose anyone to a crippling disese: it's their suffering against yours, so who's to tell what's selfish? In four years of taking care of my mother I've realised that I have to let go: it's not my life, it's hers and all I can do (except food, medication and fulfilling her needs) is to be there and do my best to soothe her. I'm hearing "I want to die" ten times a day, and I used to tell her to stop saying that. Then I understood that I'm equally selfish for stopping her to express her feelings. So yeah, WE ARE ALL SELFISH- if we're really honest with ourselves.
An excellent film. But too near the mark for me and choked me up. I'm the same age as Michael Caine and have been told I resemble him in appearance so the film was like watching myself. My first wife died of cancer in 1982 after twenty-five years of marriage and it devastated me. After five years I finally got it together and found my present wife, sixteen years younger than me, and have lived in Thailand for thirty-seven years. She is recovering from cancer treatment. -" You must learn the language." "But I have you." My children do visit me occasionally. I love them.
An amazing movie, and a stellar cast! I've seen it several times, but I keep coming back. Every time, I am impressed all over again! And that Paris apartment was so beautiful!
I am sorry to say his accent is soooo grating. He has such a lovely speaking voice why oh why did they have to ruin it? What is wrong with him be an English professor from Cambridge for example?
Totally agree, he should have played the same character but English. His American accent was all over the place. And so forced and not realistic and it kept slipping back into his own voice. It was like someone was prompting and reminding him to speak American because he kept forgetting.
Yeah, what's weird is they portray his character being from Maine, which has a very distinct New England coastal accent (no quite Boston, but close) and he still sounded very English-British in parts, and when he did put more emphasis on sounding American, it came off as Texan drawl sometimes. It was off-putting.
I am 80, lost my soul mate 45 years ago. Have been in numerous dead-end relationships since but never found love again. Never found anyone with any depth .
What a wonderful movie. I was on the edge of my seat till the end. Life is so short, make the most of it. I am remarried for 10 years and my two kids are grown and living their lives in different states. My ex is still living but we grew apart, changed and my kids at first didn't understand that. Keep in touch with them as one day you might not have that chance.
a beautiful film, good films have good messages like this one, relationships need openness and honesty, it is never too late to overcome your own pain, otherwise the wounds will not heal and the pain will be passed on to the next generation. BEAUTIFUL in all categories 🎬
I am currently a struggling writer in the Philippines with two published books and an unpublished children's illustrated book. I also have five unfinished manuscripts and one that I am currently working on. As a discovery writer, I often search for inspiration when I hit a roadblock in my writing. That's when I stumbled upon this amazing movie. It reminded me of my time attempting to work in Europe, where I ended up homeless in Paris and traveled through Italy and Spain. The setting initially caught my attention as a reminder when I slept and made in the streets of Paris my temporary home (That park is familiar and I slept in one of those benches. That specific street is also familiar where I used to roam around & etc.), but as I delved into the story, I found it to be simple yet brilliant.
@@jacquelinewillems981 what an exceptional experience u must of had. They say it makes life now more loving and pleasurable. I pray that was ur experience also. Bless u.💕
Mr. Morgan's Last Love is indeed a touching film. Sandra Nettelbeck does a wonderful job of weaving subtlety and depth into the story. The conversations between the characters are so rich and meaningful, capturing the complexities of love and connection. You can feel old man's sorrow loosing his the only and last love. Exploration themes of loss, connection, and the search for meaning in life. Miles and Matthew often grapple with their strained relationship, revealing the complexities of family dynamics and unexpressed emotions. Meanwhile, Miles’s interactions with Pauline bring warmth and a sense of rediscovery, showcasing how new connections can bring light in times of darkness.The dialogue is rich with reflection and vulnerability, making those exchanges truly memorable. Thank you.
Very nice movie, screenplay, well done .Easy, deep, simple, nice, sad, commone, familliar, up to date and finally some gentle deep approach to issues of modern times, without even a single nasty scene.
The first few min of the movie I’ve already wanted to give it a thumbs up, then I waited. A few min later he was on the street n an imaginary hand came to hold his hand - that brought tears to my eyes. The movie is superb - everyone did a great job. That scene on the boat was beeeeeautiful. Love the houses, everyone’s acting, lighting, the visual way of delivering the emotions, etc. The only part that threw me off was when Pauline n miles hooked up. Felt unnecessary that the story went there. The whole movie was delicately holding up so well until that point - kinda ruined it a bit for me. But all n all yes, a really good movie. 👍 I’d definitely watch it again.
Mmm, well what can one say to such an extraordinary movie, and, for me one that touches on so many levels. I am a septuagenarian ( age 74 ) and an Emeritus ( retired ) Professor of Early Medieval History - Oxford University UK. My wife, of thirty eight years passed away ten years ago, this month - and you don`t forget !!!!!
Since then, I have lived alone in a house full of books, and memories - and I have learnt to be content with that, and accepting of the loss, the space that cannot be filled, the voice and the laughter forever fled.

@@Vaq 🫣🤔💭 I didn’t understand a word of what you want to tell us.
@@marmena1 clearly. 🥴
I hope you have friends or family around to socialise with. I'd 40 years of marriage - joined at the heart. Now, 13 years, home alone. The loud silence continues. Plus, my family has since moved away, abroad. We were so very close...it's different. I am grateful for technology letting me be with them, albeit from a distance.
Oh my goodness..had me in tears..I was the 'Pauline'.My dearest friend and mentor, John Henderson and his labrador Sophie found their way to my tea garden.I found out that his precious wife died 5 years earlier of cancer. I promised myself every time he visited I would sit with him in the garden sharing a cup of tea even though I was very busy .I would drive out and take him meals when he was ill.John passed away in my families home at the age of 84 due to cancer and I was blessed to have his precious Sophie which was his request in his will.John did not have any children,Sophie was his life. Thank you for enriching my life John,your love,wisdom ,humour,and our priceless times spent together ..

How very kind and considerate you were to John - I feel quite certain that he was much appreciative of it. As I have mentioned in other replies, I was extremely fortunate, that I had some very supportive members of faculty, together with a few surprisingly kind, sweet and concerned students who collectively helped me through the initial highly emotional first year or so of grief. That strength that one receives from compassionate people at such a time, can never be underestimated, undervalued or underappreciated.
I am quite sure John felt the same :)
Thank you so much for uploading this beautiful picture! I am an old lonely woman, a widow I could say, and I am surrounded with thousands of books which are my friends... Thank you again, and I wish you a very happy new year!

Almost 5 year’s ago my beautiful husband died within 8 weeks age 61, I’m now 65 & we were together 44 year’s & I miss him terribly…………I’m just kind of coming to terms of a life without him. I’m now stronger & very independent, but I miss that he always held my hand. On our first date he held my hand & never ever let go! I know he’s waiting for me, but not just yet. My only love, my first love & definitely my last love 💔🌹🇫🇷🇬🇧
s@me here.
I'm so glad you were blessed to find EACHOTHER AND HAD ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES AND YEARS TOGETHER ❤
Loving your memories....from Philippines
My husband died 15 and a half years ago and I still miss him. Life is hard when it is without the one we loved. Your husband was way too young. I'm really sorry. Xx
You know what love is. Not everybody is that lucky. But the lost is extremely hard.
I only know the lost of my dog. Easily done.
I wish you all the best. 🤗
I can't believe this movie!!! It's so fantastic! A perfect story and acting! I love a movie that actually teaches you to be who you are but become better! Plus a movie of this quality teaches you to live and love and be a better listener, and think before you speak. It shows you there is purpose in living! This is one of the best movies I've ever seen! Thank you Reel Vision Movies and RUclips for sharing this movie...... a true Masterpiece.
I truly appreciate how you expressed EXACTLY how this movie affected me so much. I've lost so many loved one's & albeit still a young senior & I have a wonderful "amor", life has a way throwing one off balance. Gracias so much for putting into words what is still alive in me. It's beautiful that there are still such profound writer's. Padre God be Praised for life. Paz be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
haven't seen a film starring Michael Caine, yet, that wasn't worth watching🎉🎉
But , her husband could find no purpose in living. Not rven for his grown children, nor his grandkids
He met a young woman, youn enough to be his granddaughter or youngest daughter
I think he wanted a relationship with her, because she reminded him of his wife of long ago when they were young
She seems to be missing a father, but had no idea he has two grown children of his own
That he just can't seem to love nor get along with
It's a touching story on so many levels❤
@@sherribatko8981
Yes, but before he died, he did talk with his son and the son finally understood many things. Pauline reminded him of his wife when she was young, right from the start that was the attraction. In the end the son and Pauline would have been happy, married and have the special holiday home.
It was a shame that the grandson was not worth living for.
It was painful to see a father not to care about his kids and grandchildren. Not even Pauline since she wanted his son not him. She would have had become his daughter -in-law and would have had kids.
Does it mean that he didn’t have feeling for his his kids neither his grandchildren?! (Never wanted a child). 🙁
I started watching this because Michael Caine was on the photo. I discovered the astounding work of the whole team, the cast, the story writers, the cameramen, the music score, the director.
Hint: I am 75 and Michael Caine is very convincing as an old and selfish man. The whole film too. And I really start being convinced by the young actress. She stands her place, fronting a monument like Michael Caine.
Here in France Clémence Poésy has quite a success but I had no idea she could even speak English and very fluently too.
Both her parents are French. She went to a bi-lingual school I see.
Totally agree..makes one want to be a better version of himself after seeing the movie . Brilliant ❤️
@@martincannon1078 She speaks English in a few Harry Potter films, using a French accent because the script said so. She's bilingual without any accent.
Mnnnn bit weepy. I understand it touches people. But Mickey's accent was a bit distracting.
@@premierfuncasino Exactly! See my comments below...Thank you.
My husband died suddenly in our bed, and I'm still barely breathing, I have excellent health, but my heart is broken and I miss him so much. It's honestly every single day that I discover something else that I miss about him. Nothing is going to jump start my life at this point, I am content with the memories we made.

@@sherrih6375 I’m so sorry for your loss. I understand. I wish I didn’t but I do.
@weezie5432 Thank you so much, and I am sorry for your loss too. The Holidays are so sad after years and years of being spectacular. But, we all adjust eventually. Sending prayers of peace for you.
Be blessed and continue to be a beautiful blessing.
I am 71 and have a number of close friends half my age both men and women. My husband of 40 years died last year. This film seems accurate to me in the way they have dealt with loss. Most of my close friends for decades have died in the last few years. I appreciate a film dealing with this topic.
I'm 60 , 5 children, no visitors, single. This is an amazing movie, makes me feel not alone & it inspire me 😊
I lost my parents young after the funeral I saw no one.but I had 2 children young I had to be strong.i I cried my 👀 out blessed you🙏🏻
I totally relate and empathize because so many of my friends will my parents and siblings aunts uncles grandparents are all gone even though I'm only 65 and I'm fit and active and many people think I'm in my 50s I'm still alone a lot...
First, my condolences for your loss. I agree with you regarding this film, except for one element. Considering Mathew is depicted as an octogenarian, it seemed extremely unlikely to me, that he would be able to step into, and out of a bobbing, moving row boat without potentially tipping over the side !!!!!
Sensibly, the film director chose not to put Michael Caine`s life at risk - and used a stand in for the long lens shot - I only mention this, as my own balance, at age 74 would be equally fraught with peril :)
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Glad you have close friends.
This is like Under The Tuscan Sun in reverse. I'm a 70 year old woman who is going through the process of divesting myself of things that no longer have a deep meaning for me. I had breast cancer and surgery a year ago. It's stages of life, I guess...
I am older, my husband died 5 years ago , having to face the reality of having to clear ones apartment of a lifetime of memories is not easy,Take care, will keep you in my prayers 🌻
@tinapeters5725 thank you Tina. I believe in Jesus and heaven is very real to me. I don't fear death. I've been widowed for 35 years now. That's half my lifetime ago. I know I'll meet John again on the other side. We carry on though, don't we?
I wish you happiness along this segment of your JOURNEY
What a sweet film, thank you!
❤❤liefde voor iedereen
Beautiful movie.
I learned from an early age, at 10 when my little brother passed, that life is a constant stream of goodbyes. Lost my mother twice. At 17 when I was sent away to the US, she stayed behind. Didn't see her alive again. She passed 8 years later. I've had many dear friends leave. My marriage ended some 20 years ago. My son stayed with his mother. Lost both my wife and son. Never married again. Living life in oblivion. Just biding time. I don't want to say goodbye to anyone anymore.
Try turning focus to God. He still lives and needs attention.

@@laurapuchalski7402 Hello.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in despair. It's just that it's sad saying goodbye to your loved ones. I have an older cousin, that it's more like my sister since she was raised by my mother, and whenever she comes to visit I really don't like going to the airport with her, but I do and we don't say goodbye, we say see you soon.
Thank you for your kind words.
Saturday, September 21st, 2024 - a damp, foggy day in 'Olde England'. And then, as I have nearly given up hope of finding something to watch, I discover this absolute masterpiece.
What a wonderful treat: Michael Caine, Michelle Goddet, Gillian Anderson, and the actor who played Miles.
Thank you 😊. But, please don't cut the credits...❤

here is sunny No Carolina - fellow English woman doing the same-
Same here, exactly the same situation as you wrote. It was a beautiful film too.
Count me in
Ut was Sunny and warm in Italy today, but the evening has a chill in the air, love this film , thankyou
Any movie with Michael Caine is good.
He actually appeared in some terrible films, which he often refers to.
One of the better things to show up in the algorithm. Superb actors. Definitely non Hollywood movie. Non predictable script, story with meaning and not at all the happy ending as often can be.
Well, yes it did have a happy ending for Pauline, she gained a family with his son and grandson, the truly special holiday home and a real future. So she kept her surrogate father close too.
What a Beautiful movie ❤
He saw his wife in her..... and she saw her father in him 🙏
A wonderful story.... thanks for uploading this movie 😊
If that's all they saw, it's not a remarkable movie. Dale Reynolds, American writer in London
Absolutely beautiful, one of the best films that I've watched Michael Caine star in. So very poignant and memorable. 👏♥️👏
He’s so wonderful, because he doesn’t ‘act’. He is the character.
❤ Yup... I'm widowed and my husband passed jan 22, and he looked like Michael Caine and 6ft 2ins.....what a beautiful film and to almost see my husband alive again..❤

Michael Caine is superb 👌
Excellent movie, excellent script, excellent character performances 😊
“You, are the crack in my world”…where the lights gets in. Lovely.
Yes I think it’s lovely too. There is also a wonderful quote by Rumi: “The wound is where the light enters.”
It's from Leonard Cohen's song "Anthem".
Simply marvellous. As a person of a certain age, twice divorced with kids on two continents and a cancer fighter living alone in a flat in a foreign country, surrounded boxes of memories. This film has really touched me.
Sending you love from South Africa Terry. ❤
Best wishes, your life sounds like a movie. Hope it ends well and someday in the far distant future you find yourself in heaven! Hope you know how much God loves you ❤️
I hope that whatever time you have left is peaceful. Be kind to yourself. Xx
Strange how RUclips brings us all together.
I know only too well the torment of having children on two different continents . Sydney to London , 10,600 miles or 17,000 kilometres. Whenever I'm in either city, I miss the others.
God! I loved it sooo much. Such a rare beautiful film. Definately worth watching.
What a wonderful film.So poignant and beautifully crafted. I will watch anything Michael Caine is in..such a lovely man and talent. The setting in France added another positive quality. I am a septagenarian and dealing with life threatening illness and found this touched many emotions.
Dear fellow human being, created in the image of God. He loves you so much that he watched his only son murdered to set us free. If you don't know him, I beg you to. One day all suffering will be killed for good. Take care and be encouraged... From Bahamas
I needed this. Widowed since 1986. Two forty something daughters. Families of their own. All living in other states. I’ve become my father. Great movie. Thank you “Reel Vision Movies” and RUclips.
I am 65 and i used to despise my dad. Over the years i have come to realise the truth about the way he was. I wish he was here so i could chat and say sorry to him. R.I.P dad
He is not here, but that does not mean you can not talk to him, (out loud if you like,but preferably when no one is around!!!!!)🤭🤨🤨!!
I do, regularly, & no one has come to take me away yet.🤔
I really find that it helps, and makes me feel less guilty for some of the things which I said & now regret
@@mickmchale1 I talk to him and my wife used to ask who i am talking to, now she just lets me get on with it. Yup. i feel better when i tell him and my grandparents i now understand what it was all about. Not a truer phrase said, "you dont know what you got till its gone"😢😢
This is comment section , about movie . Not about foggy heads
I’m 78 with more memories than a future. This little film is a gem, if your heart is in the right place.
This is a keeper. An unexpected treat ❤
I love his apartment! The floor to ceiling cupboards and closets on the bedroom wall.... 😍😍😍 The big windows on the street side....
Well, having seen this film, is that it ?
@bogtrottername7001 having seen the film, I have seen that I love his apartment. Whether I have seen anything else has not entered the conversation because it wasn't what I intended to talk about.
Hope that clarifies matters.
"You don’t love life itself. You love places, animals, people, memories, food, literature, music. And sometimes you meet someone, who requires all the love you have to give. And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is gonna stop too. But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, you can miss a single being, even though you are surrounded by countless others. Those people are like extras. They cloud your vision. They’re a meaningless crowd. They’re an unwelcome distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude, but solitude only makes you wither."
@@AnaLuizaHella Beautifully written. I don't enjoy the solitude, but I am unwilling to release the beautiful memories of my family that has crossed over. Particularly my husband and only child. I replay the day's over and over in my mind everyday... just to placate my broken heart. My isolated life feels normal at this point. I don't even know if my Enclave will crank, I just get everything delivered. Maybe one day, I will release it all, but for now, it helps me breathe.
@@sherrih6375 sweetie, it's a long process. You're on the right track. There's no short cut. It aches but that's the way it is. There are no words I can tell you. Just be patience to yourself. Remember for as long as you need. I wish you all the best. Love you. ❤️🙏❤️
@AnaLuizaHella Love you as well. Thanks so much. ♥️
This was a great story. I fell in love with Paris the first time I visited when I was 26, in 1985. Although I'm an American, I felt more at home in Paris than I ever did anywhere in the U.S. It felt like coming home to me. I stayed in a pension on the 8th floor -- all those stairs! I had the room that Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald stayed in for two years in the Latin Quarter.
So I like to watch movies set in Paris. I fell in love there with an artist from Cairo who I met at the Louvre. This comes closer to the Paris I knew back then, more than all the other films put together. I returned to Paris in 2006, when I was 53. It was so different. There had been so much terrorism that gendarmes marched in squads with AK-47s under the Eiffel Tower, and there weren't any trash cans, so nobody could plant a bomb in one. All the joie-de-vivre that I had loved so much was gone.
This was a sad story, but it was also about redemption between a father and son, and it was a love story. Maybe that's why it moved me so much. It reminded me of an older gentlemen who I spent time with while I was a college student, and that made it possible for me to understand how this beautiful young woman was drawn to him.
I was so taken with the acting of Michael Caine and Michelle Goddet, that I wasn't prepared to be blown away by the incredible acting of Justin Kirk, who played Morgan's son Miles, as he grieves for his mother, and connects with his father. Beautiful settings, great cast, moving story with characters who grow and develop. It has all the characteristics that make a movie great, and the universal appeal of a story that everyone can learn from.
💔was in transit 3 times only😥
What happened with the French artist ? Sorry for asking. 😊
Forgot to ask how much I have enjoyed your story!
What a chance to stay at that amazing location!!! It must've been so expensive!
Lucky you! ❤
@@E-Kat It wasn't expensive back in 1985. I got a round-trip ticket on a charter plane for $500. For that first trip, I scrimped and saved on my low salary as a library clerk. I skipped eating out for a year. A friend's mother let me live in a bedroom in her basement for $100 a month, to help me make my dream come true of going to Europe. When I returned, my fellow workers didn't believe that I went to Paris.
@@E-Kat We stayed in touch for a few years. He was planning to visit me in the U.S., but that summer the dollar got really strong, and made it impossible. Many French people who usually made an annual trip to the U.S. were not able to make it that year. I earned my master's degree to teach English, and had a baby as a single mother, moved to LA and started teaching. Then I went to teach English in Japan, and when I returned my address book was stolen, and I lost touch with him then, along with many other friends in Japan. This was before cellphones. At least this is the timeline that I think I remember.
For a philosopher, solitude gives you time to think and this does not make you wither. Just the opposite. It gives you greater range of purpose.
She's rowing their boat. Gorgeous scene.
It was truly precious. That big red....oak?
Notice that he says that "you seek oblivion in solitude but solitude only makes you wither."
It's not the creative solitude. I'm sure you understand. I like solitude but only when I want.
I'm 67 years old I'm still a baby but I lost both my mother and father this year this movie certainly help me deal with it thank you❤
I am glad that all worked out for them in the end. Loneliness and sadness are hard to deal with, so I am so thankful to have Jesus in my life to lean on in times of sadness or trouble and for guidance. I just hope that all who are lonely or sad for what ever reason, will in times of these difficulties will, like me call out to God and ask Him to help you and I know He will answer you like He did me and I have lived a much better life since. I hope you all do too.
Amen
Amen!!! God so loved the world that he gave everything for us. The devil can't take anything that God can't give back , weather in this life or the glorious joys of heaven.
Amen to that 🙏 😊
Absolutely ..your right about Jesus! It is good to declare His lovingkindness in the morning and His faithfulness at night!
Amen 🙏😇👏
I lost my wife recently ,this movie made me cry, every scene reminds me of her,we humans only value when we lost them ,??????
I l sad for you😢
I'm sometimes wondering.
If I lose a loved partner I cry and it hurts like hell.
If I lose a most miserable partner I'm relieved.
Loved partner, miserable partner?
The choice is easy, despite serious pains. I wish you all best, you have my sympathy.
I don't know if anyone has watched "Daisies in December", but it's well worth watching, if you liked this movie. I'm widowed...will be 30 years this December since my dear, sweet, precious husband left this earth...he was just 51 years old...seems like yesterday, some days, like another lifetime ago, other days. I miss him terribly & our only child too...an almost 8-month old baby daughter. I've felt like ending it all & tried a couple times, years ago now, but it didn't work out, so I'm still here...I do truly feel like I was left with nothing...life goes on for those of us left behind, but our broken hearts still bid for that safe place to cry & scream & dance alone in our dreams... It was supposed to be "minus one day" for me...I prayed for that so hard...they were my world, my life... Blessings to all who find themselves here🙏♥
If you don't see any other responses perhaps there are so may who feel the same way .......
I know your pain. My darling husband died aged 42 almost 23years ago on 31st December 2001. Our son and daughter were the only ones that kept me alive. He would have been so proud of the wonderful people they have become. Losing a vibrant and funny man who had still so much to give has left a massive hole in our lives.
@@jeanmorris6601 Yes, a hole that can never be filled. I am so very sorry for your loss, as well. Blessings & love to you & your children too!!🙏♥
Oh what a beautiful, heart touching film. I spent a cherished part of my childhood in France with my Mother and Father. (Both now deceased) I returned to France for good, fifteen years ago and with this film I walked through familiar Parisian streets and along the Seine again. I am temporarily in Alsace at the moment, but Paris will always be my favorite city in the whole world, and just this morning as I strolled through a Sunday Antique market, in spirit I was back in Nice strolling through the Sunday Marketplace in "old town". An unforgetable Sunday for me. We still dream and remember even in our eighties...
How nice Franky or me, thank you!
You know you are unusually fortunate, don't you ???
Sometime the wife is the one who holds the family together and when she passes it is difficult for everyone. Usually the husband goes first and I think its less difficult for everyone. We must learn to appreciate each other and be accepting of family choices.
This is an exceptional movie,excellent movie, excellent script and excellent character performances ,i have seen it three times 😊
This was a wonderful movie. Life can be hard regardless of one’s circumstances. I hope that Matthew’s son and Pauline found love and raised his son and more children of their own at that beautiful home by the beach. Matthew wasn’t the bad father he thought he was. He loved his wife so much she was his world, he didn’t want to live after she died.
Not so very much different than when my grandmother died of a broken heart within six months of my grandfather’s death. He died from a heart attack and she didn’t want to live anymore just like Matthew.
Masterful little touches like him being motivated to unstick his famous French windows and let in the sun in the air after just a little bit of kindness from a stranger just goes to show how much little connections really matter!
I consider myself to be widowed since 2009, 13 years at this writing, from the man I expected to marry and be my future, and I felt somewhat Frozen ever since his passing even though we were only together two years and never married...... Some of my dreams for a sane future went with his passing and I feel like an empty shell sometimes looking for meaning in so many people and places and things and activities that I do seek out, but it's so hard to find depth...😢
Not sure I can watch this at this time; my wife of 58 years is in her fifth year dementia following a stroke , half paralyzed . She’s no longer here with me and yet she’s with me everyday, full time
So sorry for your loss, it must be very hard for you, like losing her every day..
I always thought dementia is a blessing. Not giving a f as your body starts to fail you… but sad to become a burden to others.😢
❤ sending you aloha
A fantastic film .. well cast. Michael Cain is amazing!
This movie teaches you what's really important in life in spite of the adversities.
Sad and beautiful, thank you ❤
❤❤ brilliant movie i enjoyed watch it . Touching storyline
My new favorite film, thought provoking and so well done.
What a beautiful movie! I cried a lot with the love and anger family conflict. Many times we just waste time being angry at each other until we are brave enough to say sorry and I love you like the son told his father: "I adore you" when the father told him "I didn't want you to be like me"....
You maybe somewhat mistaken...devils advocate...anger may be the tool which people utilise to protect themselves from those who they know could be harmful towards them. It exists for many other reasons, not least as a way of communicating feelings and emotions, so don't be so blinkered as to assume that just because you see zero value in it, others may not share your view.
Such a lovely movie. Caine brilliant as always.
Great movie. Michael Caine stared in 1966 as "Alfie" a young self-centered man, focused on his own priorities until events force him to question his uncaring behavior and ends with Mr. Morgan in 2013 a old self-centered man, focused on his own priorities until events force him to question his uncaring behavior . Ironic?
Well done Micheal Cain. .interesting movie. Thanks for sharing.
This movie brilliant so touching.. I'm 56 but when i watch this i feel so young.ages doesn't matter when the love is coming with you.

Michael Caine at his best yet once again .
Clémence Poésy is a rare talent. And with Michael Caine, they truly brought out some strong emotions while masterfully developing such a dramatic subject matter. Bravo Reel Vision Movies for posting this movie!
I didn’t know how to say good bye to my Bob. He kept staying around for me. He knew I didn’t want him to leave me, he had cancer. He stayed around for me. My girlfriend said u have to let him go. The hospice nurses could not figure out why he was still alive. I finally realized after my girlfriend told me to tell him it was ok, I would be ok. The next morning he was gone. He had stage four cancer for 4 years. I tell him at night how sorry I am for having him hang on so long. I didn’t know. I know he forgives me. It’s very hard to forgive your own self.
What a beautiful and touching movie, indeed a gem! It touches on so many levels of ‘being human’. Very well acted and amazingly produced. Thank you for sharing it on RUclips❤
Thoughtful film, well acted and serene. Not for young or middle aged. When one experiences a big loss when comparatively young, one still might recover and find joy in life. Old age is different. A loss puts a burden on already frailing shoulders , when family is independent, one loses the purpose of life. Suicide leaves that guilt on family, if any behind, but everyone is different and copes as one can.
Very depressing.Excellently done, but very depressing! Both his parents were very selfish,especially his mother, though she was suffering, not to say goodbye.Dont people realize the pain those left behind suffer??? Very heartbreaking
I suppose you didn't loose anyone to a crippling disese: it's their suffering against yours, so who's to tell what's selfish? In four years of taking care of my mother I've realised that I have to let go: it's not my life, it's hers and all I can do (except food, medication and fulfilling her needs) is to be there and do my best to soothe her. I'm hearing "I want to die" ten times a day, and I used to tell her to stop saying that. Then I understood that I'm equally selfish for stopping her to express her feelings. So yeah, WE ARE ALL SELFISH- if we're really honest with ourselves.

Correction to my prior posted comment.... Thank you RVM for displaying this beautiful move on U-Tube. I'll be adding to my special collection.
An Enthralling and wonderful portrail of love and the contrariness nature of emotions.
I've seen this a few times. Each time, I see and learn more.
I've bn widowed since the last time and it hits all the highs and lows.
Another U-Tube movie to add to my special collection❤❤❤❤❤ thank you U-Tube😊
Such a well crafted beautiful movie
Beautiful movie, thoroughly enjoyed it ✨💖✨ A rare gem in this day and age. Thanks for sharing it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is a film with real genuine feelings, I think one of Michael Caine's best performances ❤❤❤
Such a good movie. Touched on so many areas. Raw and real.
What a knock out film....Excellent 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
An excellent film. But too near the mark for me and choked me up. I'm the same age as Michael Caine and have been told I resemble him in appearance so the film was like watching myself. My first wife died of cancer in 1982 after twenty-five years of marriage and it devastated me. After five years I finally got it together and found my present wife, sixteen years younger than me, and have lived in Thailand for thirty-seven years. She is recovering from cancer treatment. -" You must learn the language." "But I have you." My children do visit me occasionally. I love them.
An amazing movie, and a stellar cast! I've seen it several times, but I keep coming back. Every time, I am impressed all over again! And that Paris apartment was so beautiful!
Wonderful movie and actors. I think most people can relate one way or another. Loved it. Thank you❤❤❤
A beautiful movie, so real and pure, exactly as life can be. Thank you, I enjoyed it very much.
What a lovely movie…great acting…Michael Caine - a wonderful actor…
Wonderful movie!! Michael Caine just gets better and better
I am sorry to say his accent is soooo grating. He has such a lovely speaking voice why oh why did they have to ruin it?
What is wrong with him be an English professor from Cambridge for example?
I’m not fond of English actors having to take on American accents. It is grating when it serves no purpose, other than appeal to an American audience.
I agree, it was such a beautiful show, his accent was so forced sadly!
Totally agree, he should have played the same character but English. His American accent was all over the place. And so forced and not realistic and it kept slipping back into his own voice. It was like someone was prompting and reminding him to speak American because he kept forgetting.
Yeah, what's weird is they portray his character being from Maine, which has a very distinct New England coastal accent (no quite Boston, but close) and he still sounded very English-British in parts, and when he did put more emphasis on sounding American, it came off as Texan drawl sometimes. It was off-putting.
Michael Caine..definitely one of the best top 3 in the world
Wonderful. Even the Dweeb Miles turned out to be passable. But the tale of memories, regrets, and relationships was superlative.
Stumbled upon this movie, lovely to see MC movie so good….
I am 80, lost my soul mate 45 years ago. Have been in numerous dead-end relationships since but never found love again. Never found anyone with any depth .
It’s a rare thing. But don’t give up if that is what you seek.
Some relationships are irreplaceable.
I’m 62 and never met anyone who loved me the way I loved them…. so now I wonder does it exist for real?….. I’m sorry for your lost Bob
@@Marie-JoseLandry it does exist but is very rare
@ thank you 😊
Truly extraordinary rich in feelings and sentiments* Wonderful acting***
What a wonderful movie. I was on the edge of my seat till the end. Life is so short, make the most of it. I am remarried for 10 years and my two kids are grown and living their lives in different states. My ex is still living but we grew apart, changed and my kids at first didn't understand that. Keep in touch with them as one day you might not have that chance.
Way too many families like this. Good movie. Worth watching. Thanks
a beautiful film, good films have good messages like this one, relationships need openness and honesty, it is never too late to overcome your own pain, otherwise the wounds will not heal and the pain will be passed on to the next generation. BEAUTIFUL in all categories 🎬
I’m not 100% depressed. Maybe I will watch the last part again to get there.
😂😂😂😂
I love love love watching this man. He is GIFTED ❤
Such a touching movie Michael Caine to me played the American well and did his best with the accent and this was a great movie .
Thank you
I am currently a struggling writer in the Philippines with two published books and an unpublished children's illustrated book. I also have five unfinished manuscripts and one that I am currently working on. As a discovery writer, I often search for inspiration when I hit a roadblock in my writing. That's when I stumbled upon this amazing movie. It reminded me of my time attempting to work in Europe, where I ended up homeless in Paris and traveled through Italy and Spain. The setting initially caught my attention as a reminder when I slept and made in the streets of Paris my temporary home (That park is familiar and I slept in one of those benches. That specific street is also familiar where I used to roam around & etc.), but as I delved into the story, I found it to be simple yet brilliant.
I'm 73 and starting over after a NDE 4 years ago.
@@jacquelinewillems981 what an exceptional experience u must of had. They say it makes life now more loving and pleasurable. I pray that was ur experience also. Bless u.💕
4 NDE , would like to,hear about them
@@graceotoole2467 yes, please
Mr. Morgan's Last Love is indeed a touching film. Sandra Nettelbeck does a wonderful job of weaving subtlety and depth into the story. The conversations between the characters are so rich and meaningful, capturing the complexities of love and connection. You can feel old man's sorrow loosing his the only and last love. Exploration themes of loss, connection, and the search for meaning in life.
Miles and Matthew often grapple with their strained relationship, revealing the complexities of family dynamics and unexpressed emotions. Meanwhile, Miles’s interactions with Pauline bring warmth and a sense of rediscovery, showcasing how new connections can bring light in times of darkness.The dialogue is rich with reflection and vulnerability, making those exchanges truly memorable. Thank you.
Beautiful movie. I want a sequel.
Very nice movie, screenplay, well done .Easy, deep, simple, nice, sad, commone, familliar, up to date and finally some gentle deep approach to issues of modern times, without even a single nasty scene.
The first few min of the movie I’ve already wanted to give it a thumbs up, then I waited. A few min later he was on the street n an imaginary hand came to hold his hand - that brought tears to my eyes. The movie is superb - everyone did a great job. That scene on the boat was beeeeeautiful. Love the houses, everyone’s acting, lighting, the visual way of delivering the emotions, etc.
The only part that threw me off was when Pauline n miles hooked up. Felt unnecessary that the story went there. The whole movie was delicately holding up so well until that point - kinda ruined it a bit for me. But all n all yes, a really good movie. 👍 I’d definitely watch it again.
I felt the same about Pauline and Miles..maybe I missed something??
