Joblo is running this article...again. I realise it must be hard to find a copy in the US but surely they can import? I can buy a brand new German copy from Amazon UK for £15. According to Blu-ray.com its even region free!

Easily torrented.

I watched it recently and the film didn't age well in the current social climate. Good script, great cast, but the story is about a "magic pill" that will make old people young again. That in itself is not a bad thing, but the end of the movie sees all the old people making the selfish decision to leave their loved ones for their own eternal bliss. I know it was supposed to be a metaphor for death and heaven and such, but now it just looks like Me Generation, head in the sand, fuck you I got mine, Boomerism.

Wilford Brimley's grandson pleads for him not to go and tries to stow away on the heaven boat. And then Brimley's like "nope, I choose to never see you again, go fishing by yourself." If I was a grandpa, every moment with my grandson would be worth giving up an alien immortal orgy. Geez.

The general impression that movie left you with is far different than my take away. I watched that movie as a little girl and I thought it was so beautiful. There's no magic pill. It was the fountain of youth and at the end they're taken voluntarily to eternal youthful Bliss with aliens, I guess. The musical score was so beautiful and the cinematography was so beautiful and the happiness I saw in the old people was so beautiful, they were no longer in pain and they could play like children again, it was all beautiful to me.
