45 Years

[Italiangreyhound]

I just watched 45 Years, or rather I tried to stay awake to watch it.

Very sad.

Did anyone else watch it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45_Years

Yes I watched it and thought the acting was excellent. The wife's tension could actually be felt (for me anyway) as could the tension between the couple. I was a bit confused about Geoff as he seemed to have some emotional problems but not clear what they were. BUT mostly I was SO disappointed with the ending - I was deeply into it and then - wham - it had suddenly ended.

@Catrina1234 that is exactly what I though, it ended very suddenly.

@Catrina1234 the couple did not have any children but there was the suggestion that the girlfriend had been pregnant. Was that discussed at all? I fell asleep part way through!

Thanks.

I also watched it, was looking forward to it, but it was very disappointing

The not having children wasn't discussed explicitly-the wife just hinted that all the major decisions in their marriage had been influenced by his dead fiancée.
I found Charlotte Rampling's performance really moving; she's an amazing actress.

Watched it. I'm wondering if I'm lacking in culture or understanding as I didn't really enjoy or 'get' it. Felt very flat and grey.

Nothing really happened. Maybe that's supposed to be the point.

I watched it, I thought it was brilliant and Charlotte Rampling's performance was superb. I agree that it was a very sudden ending. I would love to know what happened next for Kate, if she stayed with him or left. I'm still thinking about it this morning, that's the sign of a good film!

oh i thought they went their own way at the ending

i was a bit confused though

really enjoyed it,made i nice change on a saturday evening

I saw it at the cinema and thought it was excellent and the ending was right. I am from Norfolk and I loved the shots of her walking the dog

I got three quarters of the way through and then Match of the Day came on
Just tried to watch the end on catch up and it’s not on , anyone know if it will be ? Thanks

I really liked it although the ending both creeped me out and disappointed me.

I loved that she pulled her arm away. She's obviously had enough. And the song ' smoke gets in your eyes" about the love you never thought would, walking out... genius.

For me it was the total lack of honesty. Everyone has a past but Geoff wasn't able to share that. Implying he still had very deep feelings for his lost love. Had he explained about his girlfriend/ wife and her pregnancy 45 years it would have been different. She never knew her husband at all.

I was surprised they knew so many people to invite to their party, especially after the way he was moaning about his ex-colleagues at the reunion.

I didn't catch anything about Katya having a baby?

@Catrina1234
When Kate (the wife) went through the husband's slide carousel in the attic, there were a couple of old photos with Katy's with her hand on her bump/ looking obviously pregnant.

@NotCornflakes it is the sign of a good film.

@Catrina1234 a baby bump was showing on one picture but I only got that because Wikipedia said it!

yeah i saw the bump in two pics,deffo pregnant

Coo some very observant viewers!

It's not being observant it's called falling asleep on the sofa and trying to work out what is happening with Wickepdia!
