Movie Talk with Mubo
Tales about my father...
So o, I sat down one day with an older relative who grew up as a young man with my father.
He regaled me with tales of endless trips with my father to watch stage plays in theatres, cinemas in the 60s in the UK.
No wonder I love movies too, such that while schooling, I took myself to the movies most weekends.
That love of films has now been rekindled with so much time on my hands with the empty nest syndrome. Read my lips...
Every month I will bring up life lessons gleaned from films, documentaries and
docuseries that catch my fancy
A man called Otto depicts a life of loneliness of a quirky widower in the Western hemisphere.
He lived in a neighbourhood but was hostile to everyone.
Not until a rambunctious couple moved in and melted his hardy exterior.
I rate the movie 8/10 for it's topnotch acting, fulfilling purpose and community building.
I recommend it for older folks struggling with adult loneliness, depression, anxiety and separation from family.
Life Lessons for Seniors:
Be open to different people
You need people in your life
Anyone can be family
Talking heals old wounds
You can be happy again
Give me a π if you like Tom Hanks and will watch on this review
