hey what's up guys
today I'll show you a science fiction fantasy film: "Cocoon"
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
at night, some dolphins suddenly surface somewhere off the coastline of Florida
and linger around
after a while, a beam of light breaks through the clouds, beaming down to the deep ocean
soon, the remains of a sunken city manifest themselves in the beam of light
awaking from a long sleep of thousands of years
Handsome is a charter-boat skipper in a small town of the Florida coast
and often takes his guests sailing and fishing
one day, Handsome is approached by a group of four outside visitors
instead of going sailing for relaxation, the group charter his boat
and hire him to take them diving off the coast for a search of the remains of a sunken city
from time to time, the group raise several giant barnacle-encrusted rocks from the ocean floor
and wrap the rocks up before bringing them aboard
they seem unwilling to let Handsome know more information
the outside visitors' activities catch the attention of three seniors, Ben, Art and Joe
who are the residents of a retirement home next door to the villa
that the outside visitors have rented
the outside visitors' arrival disappoints the threesome
since the threesome have been trespassing to swim
in the indoor swimming pool of the unoccupied villa
noticing the new neighbors' strange actions
the threesome secretly follow them to get the facts
then, the threesome suppose those people may engage in illegal activities
and therefore, they continue to sneak into next door to swim without guilt
one day, getting to the pool, the threesome see some giant rocks lying on the pool floor
they think it's weird
but don't get bothered and enjoy a nice swim there
however, during their swim, they feel energized and even younger than ever
in addition, they find they all have a newfound hormone desire
that night, Joe and his wife no longer sleep separately and restore their hormonity
meanwhile, Ben has a hormone shower with his wife
and Art conveys his love to a woman at his age
the weird outside visitors continue with the underwater search
one day, while the group of four all head back to the ocean floor
Handsome touches their detection equipment
but the equipment suddenly screeches to panic him
making him more curious about the mysterious rocks
then, he asks the charming woman of the group, Beauty, about what the rocks are used for
Beauty tells him those are giant sea anemones, a rare species living at the bottom of the sea
and their mission is to bring back some of this rare species to the aquarium
while Handsome speaks, he accidentally hurts his foot
seeing he cries out in pain, Beauty gives his aching foot rubs
and his pain magically disappears
as he has been deeply attracted to Beauty
he takes this chance to ask about her relationship status
when she says she is single, he asks her to go out on a date with him
to his great disappointment, she doesn't accept and finds some excuse to leave
later, when Handsome makes some repairs on his boat
he hears some noises from Beauty's cabin and goes there to take a look
squinting through the peephole, he sees her changing clothes inside
Handsome knows it is creepy to spy on her
but he can't walk away for his feet seems paralyzed
unexpectedly, following her clothes, she peels off her skin, revealing a glowing alien body
this scares the shit and hormones out of Handsome
he runs to the deck, trying to start up the boat to sail away
learning what happened, the leader of the group urges Handsome to calm down
and pulls down his lower eyelid to reveal the glowing skin to explain who they are
Handsome is so scared that he jumps off his boat
struggling in the water for a while, Handsome gets back to the boat
since that place is too far away from the shore
then, the leader tells him the four of them are aliens from the planet Antarea
ten thousand years ago, Antareans came to Earth and built an outpost
however, due to a catastrophe, the outpost sank to the ocean floor
and twenty Antareans were forced to stay behind on the Earth
sleeping at the bottom of the ocean within rock-like cocoons
the reason why the four of them return to Earth is to take their comrades back home
after knowing the truth, Handsome calms down and decides to help them
thanks to the unusual powers of the pool, Joe recovers from cancer miraculously
a few days later, the threesome take their best buddy along for another dip
knowing they secretly use the pool without the owner's permission
the best buddy refuses to join them
soon, they see someone returning to the house
so they hide in the pool house's changing room
much to their shock, they see the Antarean leader strip off his fake human skin
to reveal his alien self
that scares the shit and hormones out of the seniors
who have to hurry back to the retirement home
the threesome tell the orderlies what they saw and demand to call the police
however, the police don't wanna buy their smelly shit and hormones
but rather, they believe the threesome just make up a story about aliens to cover up trespass
so the police close the case
losing the chance of swimming in the pool, Joe finds his cancer returns
therefore, Ben goes find the leader and negotiates with him
hoping that they can be allowed to use the pool once again
the leader says he has been waiting for the chance
to rescue his comrades for ten thousand years
out of sympathy for Joe, he can allow them to continue to use the pool
but only if they ensure the safety of the cocoons
Ben thanks the leader for his act of kindness and promises they won't touch the cocoons
later, the seniors convince their wives to join them for a swim
but right before they set off, the best buddy intercepts them
and says it is against the rules of nature by doing so and drags his wife away
despite that, it doesn't bother the threesome, and they enjoy a rejuvenating swim that day
as the days go by, the aliens learn to play cards with the threesome
and the seniors find their lives renewed with energy
Ben's wife climbs up a tree with her grandson
and Art goes out for a night of ballroom dancing
however, Ben warns his friends not to show off their newfound vigor
the rejuvenated Joe falls back into his bad habit of philandering
and has an assignation with a waitress
knowing he is cheating on her, Joe's wife leaves him to room with her bestie
meanwhile, Handsome has fallen in love with Beauty despite her alien origin
Beauty has the same feeling for him
and displays affection by firing off an energy ball to strike Handsome
which is a kind of Antarean connection Handsome quite enjoys
over lunch, noticing Joe is upset about his wife's leaving him
Art recommends they go to relax in the pool
the best buddy is ashamed of his friends for they refuse to act their age
so he tells other seniors it is the pool's rejuvenating powers
that makes the threesome feel younger
meanwhile, he jeers at Joe for his wife has left him
Joe loses his mind and runs up to beat him, but knocking out an orderly instead
seeing Joe is capable of beating a strong young man
the other seniors are convinced what the best buddy said is true
shortly after, all the seniors desperately rush to the pool
splashing and playing in the water
what's even crazier is that some errand elders try to crack open one of the cocoons
right then, the Antarean leader comes back and ejects them from the villa
when the leader opens the cocoon
his fellow Antarean within it has become feeble and soon dies
and the leader sheds tears of grief
in fact, the pool's water was charged with life force to give the cocooned Antareans energy
since too many elders came into the pool at once
the pool has been completely drained of its life force
the leader can do nothing and then quietly leaves the house without blaming the threesome
later that night, the best buddy's wife gets to the end of her life
and he carries her lifeless body to the pool in the hope of reviving her
however, drained of its power, the pool is now useless
Ben can't relieve his terrible sense of blame, so he goes to find the leader to apologize
the leader tells him Antareans are virtually immortal
but now he understands the pain of separation between life and death
meanwhile, he has to return the remaining cocoons into the Atlantic
since the cocooned Antareans are too weak to survive the trip home
later, Ben calls for the seniors to help the leader place the cocoons into the sea
grateful for their help, the leader says he can take the elders to Antarea
and the Antarean spaceship still has 30 empty seats
in Antarea, the seniors can share the human experience with the Antareans
and will experience a different civilization as well
more importantly, the seniors will never grow older and never die there
most of the seniors accept the offer and start to settle their earthly affairs
Ben tells his grandson the truth about the leader's offer
and Art gives all his money away to strangers on the street
Joe's wife forgives him and agrees to go together
one night, the seniors secretly get aboard Handsome's boat, waiting for the spaceship
however, the orderlies soon find the missing seniors, so they contact local authorities
while Handsome's boat pulls away, the Coast Guard ships show up
with a thick fog, the Antarean spaceship appears in the sky
and pulls Handsome's boat from the water
at the last moment however, Handsome jumps into a raft, choosing to remain on Earth
soon, the spaceship disappears into the night sky
a few days later, a funeral is held for the missing seniors
and their family believe the seniors drowned in a boating accident
during the sermon, Ben's grandson looks toward the sky and smiles
as the little boy knows the truth
