In one breath in "Grandma's New World", which has been dazzling for nearly ten episodes, it was originally with good expectations, but it was deeply stung by the truth of reality.
In the play, the grandmother played by Yan Ni became herself after a serious illness and started a wandering alone. I originally thought that this would be a period of romantic and beautiful romance and warmth, but the battle platform was wrong, and the plot accompanied the footsteps of my grandmother, like a sharp knife, tearing open the dark corners of an era. Every encounter she encounters gives the viewer too much difficulty, on the surface, it is a sexual predator, a speeding party, a wanted criminal, a cat abuser... But inside it is the black and white of good and evil that directly hits everyone's heart, and it also breaks the viewer's yearning for all good all things all the time.
In the third episode, Yao Chen's life experience of Zhu Meihong, the life situation before and after paralysis, is too heartfelt and real, and when she sees through everything, she can watch the neighbors in front of the window, calmly analyze their lives, tell their stories, and make people frightened. Perhaps at this moment, my grandmother, like this disabled woman, understood life because she saw through the world. This sharp perspective is exactly the "new", "strange" and "true" given to the audience by "Grandma's New World". In fact, in the process of chasing the drama, I will also think: Zhu Meihong's independence, is it extremely paranoid beyond the scope of ability?
Not seeking an independent image is the most important characteristic of Meihong. She will use her own power to obtain material things, sneer at women with large sums, and the face of contemporary career-oriented strong women jumps on paper. In terms of details, when treated as disabled, Mei Hong will be embarrassed and angry, refuting her grandmother for her own appearance. To put it boldly, Meihong will even have some "feminist" meaning, emphasizing his own career, while the boy next door describes him as a gentle existence waiting for love, and for his career, he is "half-hearted to open a store".
And as the plot unfolds, when Meihong faces a truly complex society, she exposes her lack of ability. The cat abuse incident is the dark side of contemporary society, corresponding to the dirtiness of people's hearts, and the male neighbor is not at all as cat-loving and pure as Meihong thinks, but is a prisoner of cat abuse, the dirtiest existence. This made Mei Hong's independent woman image challenged and seemed shaky.
Mei Hong's most confident ability is to see through people's hearts, and has been fulfilled in the body of each neighbor, but she has been hit by Waterloo in the body of the male neighbor. Furthermore, the male neighbor is completely different from the "gentle man" judged by Mei Hong, but instead verbally threatens Mei Hong, and weakens Mei Hong's strong female status relative to him.
Obviously, Mei Hong's self-belief of independence and strength is actually more of a subjective paranoia, imposed on her own personality. With a physical disability, she has limited mobility, so she especially wants to emphasize that she is not weaker than normal people, but this is not true. Mei Hong cannot go down the stairs on her own and cannot defeat the prisoners, so she must get help from her grandmother and others, which exposes her paranoid mentality that ignores the facts. In reality, such women, as well as men who disguise themselves as milk dogs and deceive women, also live around us, which shows the practical significance of this episode!
After chasing "Grandma's New World", you will also find that originally, our lives are not all flowers and applause, paralyzed for a long time, it seems that we have forgotten the original appearance of the world, thanks to this drama, it pulls us back to the naked reality. There is still hope, and my grandmother's wandering experience is itself resisting the chaos of the entire era. Keep chasing, it's very top.
