Updated Filmography to Visualize the Stages and Problems of the Retirement Process

Abstract

Introduction: in 2017 the filmography “Mirar y reflexionar la jubilación” was published to exemplify the retirement process. It contains 57 films, classified, based on the theory of continuity, in seven stages (preretirement, honeymoon, rest, disenchantment, reorientation, routine and final) and three problems (resistance to retirement, forced retirement and lack of social security to retire). It has the purpose of promoting reflection on retirement but requires renewal to include more films that improve the quantity and quality of the exemplification. Objective: Update and enrich the filmography of 2017. Materials and methods: Documentary study of compilation and updating of films. The search was electronic and physical. All films were included, in Spanish, or in another language with Spanish subtitles, with arguments, titles, synopsis or criticisms related to retirement. The analysis included the selection, capture, categorization and recategorization of films. Results: 115 films were selected, added to the previous 57, to make up a new filmography of 172 films, with productions from 24 countries, including dramas, comedies, documentaries, romances, animations, adventures, action and intrigue, mostly starring mens. The oldest film is from 1924 and the most recent in 2019. Conclusions: The number of films was expanded by 301.75 %. In terms of quality, the process and problems of retirement were abundantly and deeply illustrated. The new filmography is useful, adequate and sufficient teaching material for future awareness raising and retirement preparation interventions.
