I mean, being an old lady her taste does not get old too? Or the non-aging condition affects even that aspect? I thought she'd go at least for Harrison Ford.
Hope you understand what I'm saying.
I understand what you are saying.
But consider that the actor she falls in love with is in his 30s, he is not THAT young. And even though she has lived a long time, physically she is a young woman. Maybe mentally too she is a young woman but one with lots of experience and knowledge.
Let's suppose the opposite would have happened, she had fallen for someone in his 100s. In a wheelchair, living in a nursing home. That would have been a pretty strange development, wouldn't it?
But the real reason, IMHO, is the fact that this is a fictional story and the writer knew how he wanted it to end. So everything that comes before the end is setting up that intended ending. So she had to fall for exactly who she fell for!

what is age?
when we hear about a 50+ women, we get the face of an aging beauty or a face mutilated by plastic surgery, no matter how beautiful she's been just few years ago.
when it's about 100+ years old, I'm afraid we have no other reference but the vampire or witch movies, where her actual face was a scheleton.
so move over these silly images and imagine a 100+ years old girl as beautiful and healthy as she was in her 20s.
that's all about perception...
Great point! You'd think she'd be surrounded with many old, polished bon vivants who could reminisce and appreciate the good old days. But no, she falls for the pretty ingenues!
shareIt's okay. 'cause she is a woman. NOT a creepy old man.
shareI think the fact that he was very persistent. He wasn't going to let her go, that broke down her defences. She normally gives men the shaft and they get offended and leave but he was taking no prisoners.

shareShe had a young soul and Ellies had knowledge of the past, plus relationships aren't about age and yes love, they had affinity enough and that lead to love.
