Historia
Oliver Fields, a 38-year-old graphic artist, grapples with the loss of his father Hal to cancer five years after his mother Georgia's death. The relationship between Oliver and his parents was complex, particularly with his mother who had unique views on life, and their marital relationship was cordial but distant. After Georgia's passing, Hal comes out as gay at the age of 75 and embarks on a joyful, tumultuous relationship with Andy, a much younger man. Oliver meets Anna, an irreverent and unpredictable French actress, soon after his father's death. This new love stirs memories of Hal's vibrant late-life experiences and his advice to embrace life fully. As Oliver navigates his relationship with Anna, who has her own unconventional lifestyle, he reflects on his parents' lives and learns about love and relationships from Hal's example.
Resumen
Beginners is a 2010 American comedy-drama film directed by Mike Mills, starring Ewan McGregor as Oliver Fields, Christopher Plummer (who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor) as Hal Fields, and Mélanie Laurent as Anna. The story interweaves Oliver's experiences with his parents' lives, focusing on Hal's late-life coming out at age 75 after his wife Georgia's death. Hal's newfound freedom and relationship with Andy (Goran Visnjic) bring joy and vibrancy to his life, serving as a source of inspiration for Oliver. The film explores themes of love, loss, family dynamics, and self-discovery through Oliver's relationships with Anna, his parents, and Arthur, Hal's needy Jack Russell terrier. Beginners is a poignant and heartwarming exploration of life's complexities and the importance of embracing its fullness.
