金斯波因特 (2012)

In the 1970s and 80s, hundreds of thousands of senior citizens migrated from New York City to Kings Point, a typical retirement community, located just outside West Palm Beach, Florida. Lured by blue skies, sunshine, palm trees, and the promise of a rich social life, they bought their way to paradise for just a $1,500 down payment. Now, as an aging community faces its own mortality, paradise has begun to exact a higher price. Through the experiences of six longtime residents, 'Kings Point' captures both the allure and the darker complexities of living in a world where 'nobody gets too close.' Poignant, funny and dark, 'Kings Point' is a deeply empathetic portrait of the last act of the American Dream.第85届奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片(提名)Jedd Wider / Sari Gilman 突然在HBO看到.....一刹那在想美国竟也有这题材的影片.......满脸皱纹看着真难看，难看的老年，谁都不喜欢，包括自己。文化不同，里面的老头老太太都挺健谈言语现实，通着冷静勇敢......日常化妆，鲜艳有搭配的服装饰品，没有放弃生活原有的样子，坚韧到最后地活着。当活力不在，脸上都是皱纹、成为家庭和社会的负担，挺可怕的。如果把养老院和幼儿园建在一起，应该挺好吧。
