    Romantic

    "Love at First Sight" is a short film about the romance of an old man. The old man, named Arthur, lives in a nursing house, and he falls in love with an old woman, named Ruth, at first sight. They talk a lot and spend time together all day long. I like this film's atmosphere which takes time slowly and Arthur and Ruth look so happy. In addition, I like this movie's deployment. As the story progresses, we can learn about their past like Arthur's career and so on. In particular, the scene that Ruth sees her album tells us the truth behind their romance. Moreover, I like the last scene because I think the impressions of people have changed. Some people think this is a happy love story, other people think this is a sad love story. However, I think we can enjoy watching this movie, and exchanging ideas about this is also interesting, so I recommend this film.

    The review of Love at First Sight

    Love at First Sight is a love story.

    A man, Arthur, is living in a care home. He goes to an eating place and talks with two of his friends. Then, he sees a lady and falls in love with her at first sight. She is Ruth. He addresses her and they get along smoothly. She says she married when she was young, and now her husband is dead. He says he was a police officer. After their date, He proposes to her, and she says yes...

    In this movie, Ruth has a big secret and it evokes emotion. It describes true love. I felt happy watching it. However, I think it also contains the dark side which is one realistic problem in care homes. It has a jagged aspect. I thought I have to think about the problem deeply. It is a heartful movie or thoughtful movie.

    I recommend it.

    Love at First Sight is a short film. It is the story of an elderly man falling in love at first sight with an elderly woman. The first thing that drew me to this film was the camera work. The moment an elderly man falls in love at first sight with an elderly woman can be understood by the camera work without any words. And we can read that the elderly man and the elderly woman are having a wonderful time, not in words, but in the shifting scenes and their expressions. Furthermore, it is interesting to see where an elderly man seriously falls in love with an elderly woman. This is not something that happens very often from a practical standpoint, but his facial expressions and actions convey that he is very serious. And most of all, I love the gentle expression on the old woman's face that accepts everything. So I recommend this film. I want the viewer to pay particular attention to the expressions of the actors' faces and eyes.

    Heartwarming

    Love at First Sight is a short love story of old woman and man at a nursing facility. One day, Arthur, an old man falls in love with Ruth, an old woman who reads books at first sight at the window at cafeteria in the nursing home, so he talks to her. As they go out together and have conversations, they become good friends, and Arthur proposes at the end of the day even though they just meet, and Ruth accepts it. Next day, Arthur gets up as usual, sees Ruth at cafeteria, and falls in love at first sight... I really like this film because I thought the power of love is wonderful even if we get older and a long time passes. I was moved by Arthur's depth of love because he keeps on loving one woman even if he is not able to remember who Ruth is and certainly conveys his affection. People around Arthur are very kind because they never make fun of him and watch over him, so I feel happy. I also got satisfied with the story because of actors' facial expressions, well-paced development and its conciseness.

    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.
