由于偏爱Judy Dench而选了这部电影看，但这部电影本身感动我的已经远不止Judy纯熟的演技，这是部关于老年人的电影，也是部知识分子的电影，由于出生在教师家庭，我对里面人物的性格、生活、风貌很有共鸣。Judy饰演的暮年Iris，这个形象延续了以往影片中强势女人的风格，但却更细腻的刻画了岁月带来的睿智和厚重，没有年轻时的放浪不羁。而我更偏爱的角色却是Iris的丈夫John，这个书生气十足的教授太可爱了！
智慧的远去对一个哲学家意味着什么？失去了说话，写字和思考的能力，一个知名作家的生命中还剩下什么？无常的人生残忍地拷问着Iris，那个气度优雅的学者被疾病折磨到只剩下动物般的原始狂躁和空洞，欣慰的是，在长路将尽之际，Iris找到了答案，即使她已经失去了表达的能力，那就是爱。比智慧更宽广，比病痛更强大的，是爱。看到John将走失的Iris紧紧揽入怀中，再也止不住眼眶里的泪水。爱，才是长路尽头里让人安稳入眠的光芒，驱赶了智慧退却后肆虐的黑暗。
We need to believe in something divine without the need for god, something we might call love or goodness. Indeed as the psalm says: Whither shall I go from the spirit, whither shall I flee from thy presence? If ascend unto heaven thou are there. If I make my bed in hell behold thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,even there shall thy hand lead me,and the right hand shall hold me.
「Education doesn't make you happy. And what is freedom? We don't become happy just because we are free, if we are. Or because we have been educated, if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears. Tells us where delights are lurking. Convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever: that of the mind. And give us the assurance, the confidence, to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.」
「Yes, of course, there's something fishy about describing people's feelings. Try hard to be accurate, but as soon as you start to define such and such a feeling, language lets you down. It's really a machine for making falsehoods. When we really speak the truth, words are insufficient. Almost everything, except thing like "pass the gravy," is a lie of a sort.」
