Verdict on Forever Young
Forever Young is a romantic sci-fi movie following an elderly couple who get a chance to reverse the ageing process. It sees them wanting to right the wrongs they believe they made in life. However, it becomes something much bigger than imagined.
This is an interesting idea because many people question whether they would want to live life again. It shows the option put on the table while discussing the consequences if it happened. This relies on the interesting concept to carry the movie. However, it doesn’t get enough into the discussion being brought to the table.
Final Thoughts – Forever Young is an interesting concept to a question we all ask.
