《返老还童》没有想象中那么好看，也没有心理准备那么难看，是一篇还算真诚的流水账式散文，用了一个小小噱头，中间又穿插了好一些人的至理名言，所
以在家
里难得断网无所事事的时候观赏一下，会觉得：嗯，还蛮舒服的。原声音乐尤为出彩，画面的行云流水过目难忘，有些场景的似曾相识度高得惊人，一不小心就想起

王，膜拜啊膜拜！！艾伦·范宁居然长这么大了，当年《通天塔》的时候还是抱在手上的洋娃娃一只咧。但是表演上就没什么出彩的地方，可能角色本身就没啥好发

无论什么肤色，什么体型，人们都是孤独的。但可怕的不是孤独，而是惧怕孤独。其实孤独没什么不好，真的。
NGUNDA OTI: Plenty
times you be alone. You different like us, it's gonna be that way. But
I tell you a little secret. Fat people, skinny people, tall people,

Not a thing wrong with being alone... no sir...
Some get struck by lightning.

ELIZABETH ABBOTT: I kept waiting, thinking I would do something
to change my circumstance... Do something... But I never did... It's an
awful waste, you can never get it back... wasted time... If we're going
to have an affair, you're never to look at me during the day, we must
always part by sunrise, and we can never say "I And when it is over I
will send you a card that will simply say goodbye... Those are the
rules...

看守我这衰弱的老头子的好人们，让垂死的摩提默在这儿歇一歇吧。我由于长期监禁，肢体痛楚不堪，好像刚从刑架上拖下来的人一般。我这满头白发，是在苦难的岁月中折磨出来的，它预示着摩提默的死期不远了。
TIZZY: "Kind keepers of my weak decaying age, Let dying
Mortimer here rest himself. Even like a man new haled from the
rack. So fare my limbs with long imprisonment. And
these gray locks, the pursuivants of death, Nestor-like aged in
an age of care, Argue the end of Edmund Mortimer."

他们教给布拉德·皮特扮演的本杰明的那些事情，让他的人生充满了智慧。想想其实，我们每个人生命里的过客，或多或少地在我们生命中留下一点痕迹，爱也好，伤害也好，最终塑成我们现在的样子。来不及感谢，那些人已经远走。
上次用了王菲《将爱》的歌词描述《革命之路》，这次很奇怪，又要用另一首中文歌的歌词：
这应该就叫人生吧

多少次在泪中的笑交错的时光
梦中又回味又不禁要感叹
