5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: It's it's a it's a very bittersweet story. I don't

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: want to give too much away, but Eleanor is grieving

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: the loss of her lifelong best friend, moves back to

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: New York with her daughter.

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Is New York sort of her hometown, yeah, because.

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: She's originally from the Bronx, but then they moved to Florida,

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: and then she's moved back into Manhattan where her daughter lives.

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: It is very lonely, and goes down to like the

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: y m c a but it's not called that to

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: find a group, but accidentally stumbles upon a Holocaust survivors group.

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Oh okay, she is survivor.

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: No, but her friend Bessie was more. Eleanor the only

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: person that Bussie told her stories to. So to help

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: sort of calm her grief, she tells Busy's stories, but

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: doesn't tell people that it's not her story to tell.

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh, so a bit of identity theft a.

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: Little bit, but I can see where the emotion came from,

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: of wanting her best friend's story to live on. Yeah,

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: because no one else will.

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: I can see that being pretty powerful. So Eleanor in

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: the movie is a seventy four year old but played

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: by Academy Award nominee June Squib, who's ninety five. Wait

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: did I say seventy four? I mean ninety four and

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: then ninety five, So she's older than the character in

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: the film. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no. Sloving her down

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: featured in Selma, which was the movie about her escaping

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: from a wrist home on the scooter. Yeah.

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen that one personally. I've seen the

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 2: trailers for it, but no, she June Squab are absolute legend,

34
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: defying the Hollywood norms.

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: At the moment, she sounds a bit like Audrey Lily

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: of Methan. No slowing herd down neither. Actually quick side note,

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: they've broken the fifty thousand dollar mark almost fifty four k,

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: so halfway toward that one hundred and one goal. Oh

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: love that, which is pretty outstanding. This here also a

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: directorial debut for Scarlett Johanson.

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I read that and I thought, oh.

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: What a shame. She's not on the other side of

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: the camera.

44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she was quite a good job. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: that's another feather in her cap, honestly.

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: So it gives all the feels. Was there one scene

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: in particular that really struck a chord?

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: There was. It's about part way through the movie, everything

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: starts falling apart and Eleanor is yelling out to her

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: newly made younger friend, Nina, who's starting journalism. She's just

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: yelling her name over and over again. And that dugged

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: at my heartstrings, honestly.

53
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. To see ninety four year old pulling that. Wow.

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: So how many zimmer frames out of five? Movie man?

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: I would give it a four zimmer frames out of five.

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Pretty solid.

57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: It's pretty solid. It's an hour and a half long,

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: so it's not going to take too much time out

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: of your day.

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh good, or time off our life.

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: Yet it's a good bit of sweet cathartic movie.

62
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: I find that is a nice word. You've been practicing that.

63
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: Get along for a cathartic fix at the recent cinema.

64
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Cheers mate,
