POPS An Intimate Epic About Love And Loss That Is Pure Cinema
He's a baby that looks like a failing man in his 80's with poor eyesight, brittle bones and wrinkled flesh. His mother dies giving birth and his father (Jason Flemyng) abandons him, fittingly, at an old-age home. A maternal black woman, Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), who runs the place, takes him in and raises him in the one environment where he can pass unnoticed. He truly fits in among African-Americans and people old and forgotten by time. As a somewhat younger old man, he meets Daisy as a small girl (Elle Fanning) visiting an ancient relative. Their friendship will last both of their lifetimes -- although ones moving in opposite directions -- and will evolve into romance and passionate love. Much keeps them apart though as Daisy pursues a career in ballet The job on a tug boat with its hard-drinking pilot (Jared Harris) takes him to Russia and an affair with a British spy's wife (Tilda Swinton) and then into naval action in World War II.
