Do you remember the "45th Anniversary" that the shop introduced on the eve of Valentine's Day?
A goddess without small fresh meat and without big long legs,
On the surface, the wind and waves are calm, but people can watch the movie with a surging heart.
Today, amway's film has a somewhat similar look and feel to 45th Anniversary:
There are no ups and downs, no counterattack reversals, but it can make people enjoy watching.
However, it is not so sad, and it will not make people feel torn.
It's in the midst of blandness, and it's funny.
A lot of people say, "It's a movie that makes people feel comfortable after watching it." Always thinking, look at it again. ”
It's just --
"Walking with Grandma"
Perhaps, seeing the title of the film will make people have a sense of "dull and cheesy bad film".
But what the shop wants to say is,
This is another film dragged down by the title.
It has a freshness rating of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes,
It also has a score of 7.7 in Douban, and ranks 7th in the Douban word-of-mouth list this week
It is an independent film by American director Paul Weitz.
When shooting, due to limited budget, it took only 19 days to complete.
In 2015, it won the National Critics Association Award for Top Ten Independent Films.
The film is only 79 minutes long, and the story told is simple.
The story begins in the early morning, when the grandmother, who is more than half a hundred years old, quarrels with her girlfriend and breaks up.
That's right, don't doubt your eyes, Grandma is a gay person.
Shortly after her girlfriend left, her granddaughter suddenly visited.
She was unexpectedly pregnant and wanted to ask her grandmother to borrow money to beat the fetus.
however...... Grandma didn't have enough money either.
So, she took her granddaughter and drove a classic car that would hang up at any time, and embarked on a journey of fundraising.
Perhaps, seeing this, you will feel that the plot is vulgar, clichéd, unappetizing, far-fetched...
But in fact, the unusual thing about this movie is that —
The above you think of the disadvantages, it is not!
Some netizens commented:
Funny, not sensational, not vulgar, it is a surprise work.
You'll feel like you've read a warm novel and written it all in one sitting. Although there are no ups and downs, it makes you feel happy physically and mentally, even tears.
The film is cleverly structured in terms of plot setting, full of whimsy and real details.
Along the way, the two mother-in-law and grandson went to look for them one after another:
The women's health center that Grandma remembers
Granddaughter's selfish and stupid scumbag boyfriend
A tattooist who once received help from his grandmother
A girlfriend who just broke up with his grandmother, and the two of them had a big fight.
Grandma's handsome ex-husband who is very golden and very charming
In the end, the mother-in-law and grandson were cornered,
Go find Judy, the strong woman mother they are all afraid of
……
It is these people, this little, interesting bridge section that completes the story.
And this story that happened in one day runs through the emotions of grandma, mother, granddaughter, and grandma's life.
The film looks short and concise, but it contains great energy.
There is the exploration of family feelings, there is the expression of feminism, and there is the reflection on facing the self.
In this family of only women, there has been a lot of estrangement between three generations.
Grandma and daughter have a bad relationship.
Similarly, there has always been a big gap between daughters and granddaughters.
And it was this "granddaughter beating the fetus" incident that brought together three people who lacked communication.
After the anger and roar, we can finally understand each other.
The three women unexpectedly reached a kind of reconciliation.
The biggest highlight of this film -
Of course, it was the cool grandmother
She was gay, or an overdone poet.
A bit punk and very personal.
She cut her credit cards into pieces and made them into wind chimes...
She spoke directly and could not tolerate a trace of sand in her eyes.
A bit mean, and a bit of a trick...
When she broke up with her girlfriend, she said ,"You're just a footnote to me."
But after her girlfriend left, she cried in the shower.
However, it is such a person that people unconsciously like, and always inadvertently poke tears.
Because in these dialogues and stories, we gradually find the softness of her hidden behind the strong shell.
She is very emotional.
In order to help her granddaughter, she took out her rare collection of books to sell, and even agreed to her ex-husband's request for a kiss.
Although her partner has passed away, she often thinks of her and tattoos her name "Violet" on her arm.
She is more than half a hundred years old or love sentimentality will shed tears, but also dare to love dare to hate and dare to scold.
In fact, she is an old girl with a story...
Because I was afraid, I wrapped myself up with "malice".
I have to say that Lily Tomlin, who is 76 years old and also gay, has played her grandmother too wonderfully.
Los Angeles Film Festival organizers praised her performance:
Impeccable, hysterical yet deeply moving— an acting that resides in your heart, reaches your soul, and makes you have to love more deeply.
One day, they were on their way to solving their granddaughter's problem.
At the same time, they are also going their own way and completing their own "growth".
At the end of the film,
Grandma went to find a girlfriend who had just broken up,
She no longer ran away, nor was she afraid, and finally said the words that had been hidden in her heart and did not dare to say.
The film begins in the early morning and ends in the quiet of the night, under the street lamp, the back of the grandmother fading away is dancing like a frank dancer...
People will grow old, the story is not over, so be it.
Let the night wind soothe the unwilling, persuade the uneven, and continue to walk...
