The Grace of the Hedgehog is a movie that I've seen 3 times at shortest intervals. The little girl Paloma's inner world is so mature that at only 11 years old, she has a good understanding of the adult world, perhaps seeing it too clearly, so desperate that she is ready to end herself on her 12th birthday.

The beginning of the movie mistook me for a horror movie, and when I was about to fast-forward, i was attracted by a passage from the little girl, to the effect that she thought that adults were busy all day, crashing into the glass like flies, but they could not escape the fish tank. Although Paloma lives in a high-end apartment and has a wealthy family, she doesn't want to end up in a "fish tank." </h1>
The Bethru teenager also said something similar: watching the same news every day, living almost the same day, makes people feel very bored. These words of reflection on life come out of the mouths of young boys and girls, which makes many people who never stop their steps ashamed, perhaps busy running all day, but forget to listen to their inner voices.

The concierge Renee in "The Grace of the Hedgehog" is a middle-aged woman with a cold appearance and a delicate and elegant heart. She disguised her caution with the rudeness of the appearance, no one had ever thought that this 54-year-old woman who looked old, ugly and fat, had a well-booked study, and almost all her leisure time was reading, listening to music, watching movies, she had a cat named Lev, who usually liked to drink tea and eat black, which was a completely elegant attitude to life.
Renee was an understanding person, as she said to the Japanese gentleman Gran: Who would hire a pretentious concierge! As a poor and widowed Renee, who had never been to school, she knew that she needed such a job as a concierge as her hiding place, and she also humbled herself to everything and carefully enjoyed her literary and artistic life.
But the lonely man could recognize the same kind, and the clever Paloma had long seen through renée's difference, and she was not an ordinary concierge. At first glance, Ozu Gelang saw that Renee was different, so he sent a book to Renee, invited her to come to the house for dinner, and had a different affection for Renee.

Paloma eventually under the influence of Renee, has a new understanding of life, destroys the sleeping pills for suicide, and Renee also opens the closed door of her heart, unloads the inferior atrium, and prepares to face love and life again.
Paloma and Renee I like very much, in them, there are more or less of our shadows, thinking about life, sensitivity, inferiority, loneliness but not willing to let go, just like Renee is a concierge How about? There is still my pursuit, not living like a pile of mud.
A gentleman, a man of great financial ability, such as Ozu Geran, politely guides Renee out of the pretense of inferiority. If in reality, a humble woman cannot meet such a guide, it has nothing to do with age. Ozu Gelang is more like representing a kind of hope, like a ray of sunshine shining on people's hearts, making people break out of hopelessness, and this is not necessarily related to love.

In a sense, Renee is her own savior, and in the life of the bottom, she does not tolerate a decadent life, and strives to enrich her spiritual world. If she abandons herself because she is a concierge, then Ozu Can't see her, just like the landlords here, doesn't know a real concierge Renee, but just calls her "Mrs. Michelle".
Death is not the end, what is the meaning of life before death is a question to consider.
