Cinema is often unfair to the elderly. There are few films that give an accurate representation of what it actually means to be old, at least not a growing old doesn’t involve them either going senile or just being a bit racist. However, with the discovery in recent years that as a group they will attend the cinema on mass, this has begun to change. The success of films like The King’s Speech seemed to activate the Grey Pound and we are now getting films that are more understanding of elderly life.
