Why is the "prime mover" an old man instead of anything else?

If you are speaking of God...how do you know that He is an old man?...because my Bible tells me that no man has seen God and lived.\n\nP.S. To some of the other answers...disrespect will get you no where...one day all will give account for what they have done...good or bad.

Well, older people still get it on, so to speak lol. My dad was 62 when I was born and there was a composer (can't remember his name) who fathered a child in his 70s. As much it is weird to think of an older person getting it on, it still happens!

It's a real change of pace for him. He was also great in Prisoner of Azkaban as Sirius Black.\n\nA weirder movie in which Oldman plays a truly naive character is Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.

When he is leaving, it brings to mind that he may be dying as he is old and is suddenly aware of his surroundings. Perhaps he sees them as useless articles of materialism, stuff he should have thrown away years ago, but in his arrogance kept. He could be seeing his life in those pieces of trash, realizing that he has lived in vain, or that his life means nothing. He may also be frugal, or trying to hold on to his past, "junk and trash an old man saves", as many older people do.\n\nAdjectives: swept unevenly, red sand (symbolic of blood?), boxes spilled (a fight?), junk and trash. Is it possible that the old man has just been murdered and as he makes his way up to Heaven, he is struck by the scene, the red of the floor and the mess he has made in his struggle?\n\nI think the old man is tired and ready to give his soul up to Oblivion. I think this scene is just after the death blow is dealt and he is reflecting on his life. However, I don't know if this is the whole piece, or if this is all you're given.\n\nMuch Luck!!!\n\n~~Naomi

It could be that they are giving a number to mean a long amount of time. It could be that a year was measured differently in his time. It could be a translation issue. Maybe the world they are translating is supposed to be month and not year. If so, if he lived 950 years, it would actually be just over 79 years.

depends on who old the guy is

Because the older person knows better than to let it bother them.  It doesn't mean a thing man.  Let it go.  (Out your rear.)

isnt he some kind of scretary.  I would think there are lots of good secretarial help in the capitol.  He was really old too.

Because their machinery is different.  It's just biology.\n\nMen have "refractory time" to factor in before they can "go again," which tends to get lengthier as they get older.

It must be because he sweats with the oldies.
