Harry Dean Stanton's second to last film role and the final film he saw to the end. A film about an old man, whose prodigious age is finally catching up with him in a small American town.The film certainly has a message to carry, something to say to its audience. Unfortunately, while the central themes - those of death, loneliness, regret and remembrance - are clear enough, nothing much gets said about them. Or rather, the film tries to have so many conversations happening at once that none of them gets enough focus to crystallize into something.The film is certainly pretty enough, though. The Arizona desert provides some profoundly beautiful landscapes and serves as a fitting background against talk about dying and having lived an imperfect life.Acting is also nice, the characters are suitably personable and feel like real people. It's just the script that keeps it all from being anything at all. It very much feels like I'm witnessing a commemorative final episode of a decades long TV series. Which is kind of fitting, admittedly, but at the same time it's not like I'm going to get anything from watching such an episode.I cannot help but feel like this is one of those films that I just don't get. The critics seem to love it, so apparently there is something to get. I just don't.

I will not give more than 2 stars for this very slow annoying movie! I'm still looking for the spiritual part??? Dont lose your time to watch it!

Lucky, a 2017 movie, is about a 90 year old hale and hearty retired Navy officer, who spends the rest of his days busying himself in the vicissitudes of daily life. The movie surely has a very slow pace, and is definitely not for those who don't have a much developed taste in the repertoire of film industry. Just the desert, the blue sky, a bunch of Cactus plants, the old man and couple of his pals have been portrayed in the film. At times, nostalgia sweeps over the old man, and he goes back to the times, places and people he knew and loved.Primarily, the genre of the movie is drama. But, the old man happens to show disgust at times regarding the concepts he doesn't agree with, which drags in a little touch of comedy (Dramedy). Besides, a little philosophical innuendo is also there: the way Lucky discusses the concepts of "realism" and "truth" and mentioned to be growing "afraid" makes a person question the very thoughts of an old man. While many claim Lucky to be a "lonely" person, Lucky defends himself by making the difference between being "alone" and being "lonely" crystal clear. In addition, the concepts of life and impending death, not getting to judge others for their actions, and bearing the burdens of life on our backs, smilingly, have, too, been put forward by a mere example of a 100 year old tortoise, who expects to live a 100 more. In short, it's a slow paced drama film, that happens to inculcate in it the meanings of our life, and questions the very existence of a human soul.

If you have something better to do, like trimming you nose hairs, or scrubing your floors with a toothbrush, then maybe you should just get to work. Those things will be more enjoyable than this film.
