Alia Shawkat Competes with Jeff Bridges in The Old Man

For all the deserved praise that has been showered upon The Old Man, other aspects of it are equally just as deserving. Without a doubt, one of the most compelling and incredibly written characters in this film is Alia Shawkat’s character Abbie. She steals every scene she is in and her story arc throughout the film is arguably as strong as Jeff Bridge’s El Pops’. At the beginning of the film, Abbie seems to be like any other girl. She is not a virgin and tells her friend how she lost her virginity on a mattress.

However, when we later find out that she was only 7 years old when this happened, we begin to realize how destructive her father’s love for her truly is. Soon after telling this story, Abbie moves in on El Pops, played by Jeff Bridges.

Introduction to The Old Man

“The Old Man” is an unfinished novel written by Ernest Hemingway. It was his second published novel, and it is one of the most important early American novels. Although “The Old Man”, unlike other famous authors and composers, had not achieved fame before he became disabled by age-related health problems and psychiatric disorders, “The Old Man” emphasized the vitality of a working artist as opposed to an idle genius.

“The Old Man and the Sea” has been translated into 22 languages as of 2009 and is still heavily read, primarily in high school American literature classes in American schools. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and it was made into a successful film starring Spencer Tracy. One of Hemingway’s major works, “The Old Man and the Sea” was written by an author who had already established himself as one of the most influential writers of modern American literature.

The storyline of The Old Man

The Old Man is a short story about an old man who is walking through the woods. He sees a tree, and walks up to it, assuming that the tree has some type of wisdom or knowledge for him to learn. He reaches out to touch the tree but then hesitates before touching it. Ultimately he decides against touching it because he worries about what might happen. Instead, he starts talking with the tree until they both go to sleep in each other’s arms.

The next day the old man wakes up and leaves the tree, going on his way. As he walks along in the forest, he finds a stream nearby. He sits down next to it, takes a look at it, and then starts talking to it. He says that he doesn’t understand why he felt so distant from the tree as if they were two strangers who were talking with each other. He goes on to say that what had happened between him and the tree made him feel closer to nature than ever before.

Preview of ‘The Old Man’ Season One, Episode Two

A new storyline is beginning in the second episode of “The Old Man,” with a few surprises. With his past, Connor’s world has become more complicated and bearable. In this episode, he meets some who have made their own mistakes that sentenced them to live within the walls of the Old City.

Connor’s dad teaches him lessons on how monsters are created and how the city should be protected. It seems that something about his father has changed in the years since Connor was a child. Now he walks with a cane. He tells Connor how he had to attach heavy weights to himself as he tried to escape from the monster, which is why his leg is so stiff now.

So, what do you think about The Old Man?

Farheen was born in Kansas City, Missouri to two community-college professors—her mother taught reading; her father, film. Thus she spent an inordinate amount of her youth nosing through books and watching movies. She has happy memories of having A Wrinkle in Time pried from her hands at the dinner table, and also of seeing Alien, Psycho and Bonnie and Clyde at a questionable age (like, seven).
