Beginners is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Mike Mills. It tells the story of Oliver, a man reflecting on the life and death of his father, Hal, while trying to forge a new romantic relationship with a woman, Anna, dealing with father issues of her own. The film is based on the true-life coming out of Mills's father at the age of 75, five years before his death.
Beginners premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, where the Los Angeles Times heralded it as a "heady, heartfelt film" with a cast who have "a strong sense of responsibility to their real-world counterparts".Christopher Plummer received numerous accolades, including the 2011 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, for his performance.
The film is structured as a series of interconnected flashbacks. Following the death of his father Hal, Oliver reflects on their relationship following the death of Oliver's mother, Georgia. Shortly after her death, Hal came out to his son and began exploring life as an openly gay man. He becomes active in the gay community, finds love and becomes more honest with himself and with his son. As a result, Oliver and Hal become closer during this time. Shortly after Hal's death, Oliver meets Anna, a French actress, at a party. Inspired by his father's attitude towards the end of his life and their relationship, Oliver decides to pursue a romance with her.

Have you ever seen some cruel aspects of life?
I shouldn't wonder if cruelty runned in our blood
Some people I could mention sneer at me and you
Under colour of perpetuation of laws
They wanna stick to over and over again
More cynical, more sharp cult to pain
Spiral of restrained retaliation
Beginners are preferable scapegoats
Have you ever thought why can't we stop these jokes?
That's how things are and I get the impression that I'm wasting words
Tacit resignation, endurance... it's peculiar to you
Next year old punished novices will perpetuate that suffering too
Over and over again
Sad experiences and a sarcastic "No pain, no gain"
Circle of vain iniciations
