学习如何在日益拥挤的星球上生存也许是我们人类的终极挑战，但有一个地方，拥有的世界人口六分之一印度，人们却特别适应生活在这么拥挤的土地上。这个系列高清纪录片将带我们进入印度最密集的地区加尔各答和孟买，了解这里人们的生活现状及生存压力。
BBC 2012年播出，用3集记录印度的底层人如何在人多地少的环境中工作。印度现在有人口 12亿，占世界的六分之一，每个家庭都有很多孩子，对于穷人来讲，这可是一个很大的负担，看看印度人是如何在他们的国土上为了生活奋斗的。
Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India. This observational series casts aside the usual preconceptions about the sub-continent, and lets a few of India's 1.2 billion show how their world really works.
With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds.
Part 1.
This episode follows two main characters as they employ all their ingenuity to carve out a home. With more people moving to cities in India than anywhere else on earth, securing that place you can call home is vital for nurturing your family's future.
Part 2.
Johora started out as a rag-picker, but through building a bottle recycling business on a railway embankment, she has big ambitions for her family of seven kids. And it is not just small waste. Kanye uses a blowtorch to cut up ships discarded by the rest of the world, helping satisfy India's thirst for steel. And Ashik buys up beef fat from the abattoir, and proudly renders it down to make tallow. It looks disgusting, even before he is plagued by a maggot infestation. But this thrifty use of 'waste' may well be destined for your soap or cosmetics.
Part 3.
With India destined to become the most populous nation on earth by 2026, you have got to be highly tactical in your search for a better life. It is not just about you and your dreams today - it is about the family over generations to come. Prakash and Mangesh are brothers in their early twenties from an illegal settlement surrounded by the buzz of downtown Mumbai. Prakash is deckhand on a yacht while striving to realise his dream and launch a Bollywood career. But his family make it clear his sole purpose is to earn enough to fund in their joint future: his brother Mangesh's course in software engineering. Swapan, a merchant in a hectic fish market, works so hard for his family's future that his wife knows he is ruining his health. And Sujit, who crafts disposable clay tea cups in Kolkata, hardly dares dream of seeing his family hundreds of miles away.
莫名喜欢这个电影。被片名耽误了，其实是个五十岁女人在人生低谷的一年重新审视自己生活，重新起航的故事。虽然理想化了，但看完不失鼓舞，整体也很有趣，各种奇葩小配角很好笑。叔真的是莫名苏感，跟气场强大的天海女王演中年夫妇也不违和～敷面膜时看婆婆骗保险金那段，面膜笑裂了😂
非常精彩，符合我的口味。松重丰与绫田俊树，这是从《深夜食堂》「情侣档」演到如今的「父子档」了？一众喜剧咖倾情加盟，演技惊人。众星捧月之下，天海佑希果然游刃有余彻底爆发（话说怎么越长越像男的）。电影还是客观反应了人到中年必然滋生的一种年龄焦虑与养老焦虑，嬉笑怒骂中对于家庭关系与婆媳、亲子、夫妻等内容的探究也精准有趣。三谷幸喜的登场眼前一亮，很精彩，推荐推荐。
我为天海佑希多打半星！剧情有点离奇，感觉是个大型广告电影，没有钱的时候不只是老年，中年青年少年都一样难熬，合住时代也不会幸福的啊……倒是最开始，老人家去世前说了一句再好吃的牡丹饼不要吃超过三个，和我奶奶经常说的好日子慢慢过，异曲同工之妙！
让天海演一个笨手笨脚的傻瓜，也太违和了。
幽默，讽刺，好笑的同时又透着对生活的无奈。不可多得的佳作
过好平淡的每一天，起伏中也便有了转机
过好平淡的每一天，起伏中也便有了转机
天海女王+五郎叔的配置就很喜感，能把一个沉重话题以喜剧方式拍出来又没有煽情过的，看的又很开心已经是很棒的电影了。也提出了几个新的的可能：50+失业人群的后半生选择；无论有无家庭的人子女最后都会离去，最后的去处可能不是养老院而是合租生活？
中途是不是离题啦？虽然婆媳两个都满可爱的。最后给出的方案“合租”不是所有人都能接受的吧……
还行吧，我以为是揭露养老金的政治或者纪录片，没想到居然是一部温情家庭片，还挺好看的，五郎叔真的演的挺好的
海锅不亏一个宝冢男役。没有男人配得上她！！
基本上全都是“中年没钱”困境的小合辑，没啥意思。
虽然编导不过是想营造喜剧冲突，但是让女主面对一群吸血虫配角也够让人吐槽的了，最后也不知道怎么安排的伏笔就让这群配角善解人意。霓虹国的老百姓可能普遍都挺听话的，合租养老这事真就这样推广出去了。
有点点好笑但看完又挺失望的，最后轻轻松松的happy ending有点太理想化了。有没有一个严肃的电影来讨论这个社会问题呢？
正好上周看了原著，很小的一本书，篇幅不长，但人物刻画得还不错，话题聚焦养老的话题，整体偏都市现实向。电影改成了喜剧风，找了天海佑希来主演（突然就想看了）但其实比较出彩的剧情放在了乐观婆婆这个人物上，看起来不如题目那么严肃沉重了，可能是日本人的一种阿Q精神的展现吧—虽然生活艰难，家人在一起的话，就还是值得努力活一下的。
自己喜欢的东西不要贪多，钱够用就行，过好每一天，片子有许多地方很搞笑
影片改编自垣谷美雨的小说《老何所依》，导演依旧遵循日本影片的经典套路来改变生活的思路，以此来实现大团圆的结局，将一个中年家庭的无奈和窘迫展现的淋漓尽致。影片后半部分，通过繁杂的数字以及对金钱担忧的逐渐减少和各种充满生气的故事情节，将影片拉回了正轨。整部影片穿插着不少的喜剧元素，在压抑窒息的氛围里得到一丝的舒缓。个人觉得影片有些无趣，虽然也有搞笑成分，但依旧避免不了昏昏欲睡的感觉，妥妥的爆米花片。
日式风格，并不怎么搞笑…日式夸张搞笑，类似于国产尴尬搞笑
用比较轻松的方式讲现实的社会问题，人到中年，上有老下有小的压力，还要为自己的养老早做打算，除了解决问题的方法比较理想化，剧情都很流畅，苦中带甜，演员们表现也都不错，整体观感很好。
霓虹国的人都不会老么？影片只展现了生活中还算美好的片段。但是，但是啊，生活中，还有太多太多的鸡零狗碎。偶尔看看乌托邦还行，但是不可全信。
