"Lucky" synopsis

Lucky, a 90-year-old man who has lived his life without believing in God, wakes up in his apartment alone today, drinks coffee, and smokes a cigarette. Drinking Bloody Marias at the usual bar and spending time with familiar customers. As he goes about his daily life, he suddenly realizes that the end of his life is approaching, and begins to think about death. The darkness he was afraid of as a child, his lost pet turtle, and a Japanese girl who smiled despite the devastation of war -- Lucky comes to realize this through his interactions with the people of his small town.

What is the mysterious greeting “nothing”?



In September 2017, Harry Dean Stanton, a rare and famous actor, passed away. His last starring role, ``Lucky,'' is a film that depicts his own life. The old man named Lucky, created by two screenwriters who could be considered his disciples, is a character who recreates Stanton's own personality in the play. The life stories told by Lucky, a 90-year-old man, are based on Stanton's actual experiences, and the way he speaks is just like Stanton.

The most memorable line among them is the line "nothing." This is a greeting used by the owner of an old cafe that Lucky visits in the movie, and it has a meaning similar to ``Hello, bastard.'' Stanton said he often used the same phrase in his daily life. This word ``nothing'' is probably the fundamental word of Stanton's outlook on life.
