I like films, when you don´t have the time for travel
yourself, you can get a way for some hours by a nice movie… This movie get me
great feeling by being older, I like to know that I have something to look
forward, the life don´t stop in some particular age, it you who decide what you
want to do with your life.
British retirees travel to India to take up residence
in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its
advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in
unexpected ways.
Judi Dench had a great raw model character in this
movie I think, she looks like Birgitta Stenberg, one of my other raw model in
real life…
Maggie Smith was superb in her character and also Bill
Nighy.
Evelyn (Judi Dench) – A widowed housewife, who let her husband take care of
the financials and never asked questions. Thus she’s forced to sell her house
to pay off his debts and move to India to retire, and to finally have an
adventure. Her blog on her time at the hotel serves as narration and reflection.
Douglas (Bill Nighy) – Douglas has been married to his wife Jean (Penelope
Wilton) for 39 years, but their retirement is gone thanks to an investment in
their daughter’s company that didn’t pan out, and their future seems bleak in
an awful retirement community, until they decide to take a chance on the
Marigold Hotel. Douglas loves India and grows beyond his useless henpecked self
thanks to the country.
Muriel (Maggie Smith) – A former nanny with a bad hip and a bad attitude to
those of darker skin. But the only way to get her hip replaced quickly is
through a hospital in India, thus her journey to the hotel and the Indian
experience. She spent her whole life caring for another family that she didn’t
bother with one for herself.
Graham (Tom Wilkinson) – A judge who finally retires after threatening to do so
for many years. Graham grew up in India and returns to find the boy he grew up
with and loved, only to cause drama among their families when they were
discovered and Graham was sent back to the UK.
Sonny (Dev Patel) – Owner of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel that he
inherited from his father, the prior operator. Has big plans for the facility,
but is stymied by lack of funds and lack of his mother’s enthusiasm of both his
dreams for the hotel and the woman he wants to marry, a telemarketer named
Sunaina (Tena Desae)
