Watch: The Old Man and the Sea 1958 123movies, Full Movie Online – Now an old man, a lifelong fisherman sets out to sea to ply his trade as he has done all of his life. He’s not had much good fortune of late and has gone almost three months without a major catch while others are catching one or even two large marlins every week. Many of the locals make fun of him and some say he’s too old now to be fishing but he still loves what he does and is encouraged by a young boy who loves him and has faith in him. On this day he hooks the fish of a lifetime, a marlin that is larger than his skiff. As it slowly pulls him out to sea, the old man reminisces about his past, his successes and the high points of his life. When he does finally manage to land the fish he has to fight off sharks who are feeding on it as he tries to return to his Cuban village..
Plot: Santiago is an aging, down-on-his-luck, Cuban fisherman who, after catching nothing for nearly 3 months, hooks a huge Marlin and struggles to land it far out in the Gulf Stream.

Brings the story to life, but nothing much besides the basic metaphor
Spencer Tracy acts and narrates in this film about an old fisherman getting the catch of his life. The small boy, the terrace owner and any other characters are really there for a few scenes. The entire story is about the old man and the struggle with the fish a metaphor for life: it’s hard and it sucks, and then you die. It was funny that my wife was always asking me “is he going to die?” like there was any chance the old man could be immortal. In the film he doesn’t die, but that is clearly besides the point.Tracy was nominated for an Oscar for his performance, but really, it’s just a guy in a boat, talking to himself and to a fish and nothing much is going on. The film is just one hour and a half, but its simplistic plot makes it feel a bit too long, especially now, more than 50 years later since the movie was made. I guess it is a nice movie and it helps if you want to not read the written story, just don’t expect too much.
Try it and judge for yourself but its one of my Favorite ( American A+ Movie) My Ratings 10/10
Spencer Tracy gives an amazing performance as the old man in the film. A film that need to be shown by younger audiences around, and it’s truly a film about determination, and the value of life.
