    Beautiful love story

    "Love at First Sight" is a love story. One day, Arthur falls in love with an old lady in a retirement home. Her name is Ruth and she is a new member of that facility. Arthur speaks to her and they become friends. After spending the day together, Arthur asks Ruth to marry him. This story is beautiful, but you may feel sad when you know the truth. At the same time, your heart will be warmed by the kindness of the people around Arthur and Ruth. Their love is possible with the support of the people around them. And we also learn that Arthur's love for Ruth is true. I can not help but wish them happiness. "Love at First Sight" is really worth seeing. This film contains a lot of people's kindness.

    Love at first sight

    Love at First Sight is a romance short film. The story is that in a care home, an old man falls in love at first sight with a new old lady.

    I like the film. There are three reasons. First, I like the characters.

    Especially, I like the protagonist. In the first scene, when he is grooming himself, he combs his hair with the brush he used to polish his shoes. When I saw this, I thought to myself that this old man was a very pleasant and joyful person. I also like the old lady's character. She is dainty and delightful. Second, each scene in this film is wonderful. I especially like the scene where they dance. It is enjoyable. There are many fun scenes like this in the movie. Third, the development of the story is surprising. The secret they hold is revealed at the end, which was a surprise to me. It was sad to think about the old lady's feelings.

    In conclusion, I can recommend it. It is a good film that can be easily understood and conveyed to people who do not usually watch a lot of movies.

    An afternoon

    Two basic virtues define this lovely short film - the presence ( and acting ) of Phyllida Law and John Hurts, the twist, gentle and sweet in its dramatic resonance.

    A love story admirable crafted.

    But a love story special in its essence, first for the old fashion, so near by fairy tale or mythology story.

    Two venerable people. His fascination about a beautiful lady. His enthusiasm. The memories and passing afternoon. And a lovely turn of events and the significance of the words of venerable man front to the new day.

    Easy to define as romantic gem. But it is more. Maybe, precise definition of authentic love. Or story about invisible connections.

    In short, just touching and seductive.

    Heartwarming film

    This film is so bittersweet. The story is, in the nursing home, there is an old man. He goes to the dining room and talks with friends. Then he finds the old woman. He falls in love at first sight. He talks to her and they talk amiably. And they walk, dance and hang out together all day. They also talk about their past. At night, the man offers marriage to her. He said he loves her from the first sight.

    And what follows is also very moving. The scene in the middle of the scene showing two smiling people very happy is also good. Emotions resonate very well. I recommend this film when you want to warm your heart.

    Heartwarming story

    "Love at First Sight" is a drama about a man called Arthur in a nursing home. One day, he falls in love with a woman called Ruth at first sight. Then he talks to her and then takes a walk, and dances with her. After he has fun with her, he proposes to her, and she accepts. This story is heartwarming, and all people who appear in this movie make me feel happy. This film is short but fulfilling, so that is the reason I recommend this. Moreover, their acting makes us think that they really enjoy the moment. In particular, the scene where they dance in the room is wonderful and they look much younger. This film must make the audience feel happy. There are no evil people, so anyone who loves heartwarming films should watch this. Not just heartwarming, but we are moved by the situation, especially the second half of the film, so I recommend this film to people of all generations.
