Review of On Golden Pond (1981) by Rosemary K — 29 Jan 2013
The late Fonda and Hepburn shine in this film .Fonda's daughter Jane is also sweet. We find this great movie to be about a man who senses when his life has come full circle; Norman is crabby and scuffs at all people he meets.
Their daughter left,on account of her not able to "compete" or fulfill her daddy's "standards". On the event of Norman's birthday,she tries to make amends and seems a bit fearful of him.
When Norman gets lost finding berries,we see that he seems scared to be "inept". That fear grows as we see him unable to control the fire he started.I enjoy this film that shows how families try to work things out and communicate.
Bravo to Henry,daughter Jane and awesome Hepburn.I love this!
