在世界電影雜誌一開始介紹到此片時就很期待這部電影,看了後題材與預想的蠻有落差。簡單的說,這算是很嚴肅探討退休老人的孤寂與失落的一部電影。七個主角七個老人,其中包括一對夫妻,但即使夫妻也是貌合神離的孤寂的一對,在經濟節距下不約而同飛到印度一古老卻破落的老飯店,追求各自的異想。又是一個少見的電影探討角度。
Evelyn 片尾這段獨白,讓退休老人心有戚戚:

Day 57.
01:52:52,933 --> 01:52:57,234
The only real fail
is the fail to try.
01:52:59,064 --> 01:53:03,194
And the measure of success is
how we cope with disappointment.
01:53:04,820 --> 01:53:06,697
As we always must.
01:53:21,169 --> 01:53:25,345
Can we be blamed for feeling
that we are too old to change?
01:53:28,719 --> 01:53:32,019
Too scared of disappointment
to start it all again ?
01:53:36,351 --> 01:53:38,445
We get up in the morning.
01:53:39,563 --> 01:53:41,657
We do our best
01:53:44,026 --> 01:53:46,120
Nothing else matters.
對老年人來說,通常是沒有什麼希望能達成,只有一個接著一個的失望。能通過這一次又一次的失望打擊,那也算是老人的成就了。能再見到第二天的太陽,就算是老人最大的福份了,其他都不算什麼。
