Timothy Spall in El inglés que cogió la maleta y se fue al fin del mundo (2021)

Life is a journey and The Last Bus takes our old soldier, 90-year-old Tom Harper (Timothy Spall) on an epic trip from his home of fifty years - a remote village in the most northerly point of Scotland - back to the place he was born - close to England's most southerly point. Battling against time, age and fate, desperate to keep a promise to his beloved wife Mary (Phyllis Logan), our intrepid hero Tom embarks on an odyssey, revisiting his past, connecting with the modern world and a diverse, multi-cultural Britain he has never experienced. The Last Bus is a road movie; a film about love, loss and the human spirit. A film that reminds us we are not alone - and that we're all on this ride together...

Curiosidades
Nick Lloyd Webber, who composed the orchestral soundtrack for this film, was the son of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Pifias
Tom's claim that he was an underage (15 years old) stretcher bearer in WW2 is most unlikely - but not entirely impossible. Due to changes in the law since WW1 the age of enlistment was raised to 18 in the inter-war years, only being lowered for duty in the Home Guard. This was much more stringently enforced with I.D. checks, however there are well documented cases of British teenagers of the time applying and being accepted for duty, albeit by lying about their ages - the youngest of these was just 14 years and 152 days old when he died. However it is possible he made this story up to dissuade the young man he was telling it to from joining the army in the first place.

Créditos adicionales
There are examples of social media posts from Tom's journey shown during the closing credits.

A beautiful, emotional journey. Skip synopsis/trailers.

42 votes rated this 7.5 when I watched, but it's worth at least 8 or 8.5. The very few tropes and minor cliches are forgivable - the overwhelming focus is Thomas and his beautiful, sad, heartfelt, enduring, hilarious, eventful, human journey. You feel like you already know him - a man that all young men should aspire to become. Kind, moral and able to access and act upon core emotions.

Talking of Thomas, the actor Timothy Spall is cast perfectly. The characters you meet along the way also perform extremely well to the point you feel you're there with them, dancing, laughing, worrying and so on. Subtle directing excels. Eye glances and tone of reply say more than anything. A film for the emotionally capable. Try not to learn too much before viewing, it's a joy finding out as you go.

It seemed most of the 50 or so others and I teared up by films end. If you enjoy stories that portray humanity, emotions and life and want to be part of such a journey, I'd certainly not miss The Last Bus.
