The title of "Walking with Grandma" ("Grandma"), listening to the special theme, I can make up a story of a young man and his kind grandmother that can sing and cry, pierce people's hearts, and shed tears. However, the style of this film is unique. , at the beginning it was a torn battle, grandmother Elle was breaking up with her little girlfriend, oh, yes, Elle is a lesbian, once a famous feminist poet, erudite and talented, but she is old and has a bad reputation in her career , Financially shy, emotionally, her lover who had been with each other for 38 years passed away, and her love changed after only four months with her young girlfriend.
The little girlfriend said "You are a bad lover", Elle said "You are just a footnote to me", what a ruthless sentence, which portrayed the ruthless side of this outdated poet. Love was crying bitterly in the bathroom, so we know that she was just stubborn, she cherished love, but she lost her courage before the huge age gap.
Just when Elle was thinking about the past and crying alone, her granddaughter came. She was pregnant. She made an appointment for an abortion in the afternoon, but she had no money. Another reasonable way to raise money.
From the granddaughter's boyfriend, to the grandmother's good ladyboy friend, to the grandmother's ex-husband, in the end, the grandparents and grandchildren who have nowhere to go can only go back to the granddaughter's mother Judy to ask for money. How funny can a really cool old lady be, how funny she can be, she scolded her girlfriend, she beat up her granddaughter's irresponsible boyfriend, she got a tattoo, smoked marijuana, and turned over an old account with her ex-husband.
In the process of raising money along the way, she borrowed other people's mouths to gradually outline her grandmother's life story. She did whatever she wanted and was uninhibited. She had been a burden to many people and sometimes herself, but she was always stubborn and proud.
Elle has a bad past, being judged by her friends as "difficult to get along with", having difficulty communicating with her daughter, being short-tempered and emotionally unstable, however, all of this aside, she is a good grandmother.
When her granddaughter was most helpless, her grandmother was the first to ask for help. Elle didn't blame her. For her granddaughter, she was willing to sell her beloved book. For 500 yuan, she was willing to kiss her ex-husband. She complained about her daughter together with her granddaughter. No condescending preaching, just like friends. It was also because of this abortion that the family of three, granddaughter, mother, grandmother, and three women unexpectedly reached a reconciliation. After anger and ranting, they were finally able to understand each other.
Let's go back to grandma Elle. She seems to be wild, but she is deeply affectionate. She reads her deceased wife and loves her little girlfriend deeply, and tattoos their names on her body. When the dramatic day was over, the injured Elle was sitting in the taxi. In the turbulent night, she was dazed thinking about the jokes her deceased wife had told, and suddenly laughed and said to herself, "You really know how to Make me laugh", this picture is too cruel, mixed with happiness, sadness and sadness, the reason why the past is unforgettable, because it is beautiful enough, when you are alone and walking alone, you can still have memories to warm the cold night. kind of comfort.

Before, when I was visiting Paris, I encountered a sudden grand protest march on the street. I was walking in the crowd, and I accidentally saw a group of old grandmothers who were waving signs and shouting slogans. , Her riding boots leather coat, tattooed earrings, her hair is all white, but there is a radiance that cannot be concealed, she is holding a cigarette in her mouth, smiling and chatting with her companions, her eyes are bright, and she seems to be able to see her wild and uninhibited In my whole life, I have no panic and fearlessness. At that moment, I felt that living like her, I would not lose the last time in the next life.
When I watched "Walking With Grandma", I thought of the grandma in the parade again. That kind of chic and handsome is so unforgettable. Just like Elle, she has a cool enough life, and I guess, on the back of the light , they have also taken on the heart-wrenching loneliness.
Just like the last picture of the film, the long night is long, and the road of life must be walked by oneself.

    A wonderfully composed story, full of the charming temperament unique to independent films. The conflicts between generations and the life of my grandmother were gently drawn out by what happened in one day, and constituted the ultimate guide for a feminist. The setbacks and discriminations that women have encountered in society are vivid in my mind. . After getting old, people may be more free and easy. Grandma is alone again in the end, but she still smiles freely and easily. Those who don't seem to care for a lifetime are still longing for love.
