It amazes me just how negatively bias and unrealistic almost all of the national media coverage of the Villages is. I think they are just jealous of us having fun enjoying the fruits of our lifetime of labor during our much earned retirement years?

It is not a documentary is any sense of the term.

This is a ridiculous review that basically says nothing! Zeroing in in 3 ‘lives’ in a community of this size does not give any information of the community as a whole, but rather, the story of the three chosen stories. It doesn’t even make sense, and supports the likelihood that the goal is to support the author’s own predetermined agenda. Pointless.

There are other “agenda driven” reasons why The Villages are hated by some. Unfortunately I can’t go into them here but I’m sure many of us are intelligent enough to know what and who they are.

Looks like a remake of "Three Coins in The Fountain" but all three lose. These three characters were chosen to support an agenda and anyone who believes them to be representative of The Villages is easily fooled.

Its meant to make money like all movies, books and music is. Who cares if its negative?

It will be like the network news! A little truth with a whole lot of lies. People who don’t know or want to know the real story will believe every word being said. However like chick filet, even more people will want to come to the villages.

The Villages is NOT “The Good Place” (Did you see that TV series? The Good Place is actually a form of hell.) The Villages is a GREAT place. Some people are natural-born gripers and curmudgeons. Others come to it with age. But I think most of us feel we are in something close to Paradise. That said, I thought the review of the movie linked in the original post was thoughtful, well-written, and useful. The totality of The Villages inevitably includes endless sorrow. I know a lot of widows and some widowers. There are a lot of sad stories. There is a lot of sickness, suffering, loneliness, and we are all getting older and wrinklier and approaching The Long Goodbye, The Big Sleep. That’s one of the definitions of Tragedy: we end up dying. But what a lovely place to do it, and what a safe place to do it. I look forward to seeing the movie. It’s worthwhile being reminded that things are more complicated than they may seem on the surface. Last edited by MandoMan; 12-06-2020 at 08:32 AM. |
