      This movie is poisonous

      To tell the truth, I watched this film because the teacher of the documentary class assigned the homework. When I watched it, I was in pain, listening to the two old women chattering in front of the camera, the pace was slow, there was almost no plot, and I couldn’t watch it a few times. But, after watching it on Wednesday, the film stuck in my head, making me want to think about it, both in its documentary form and in its story.

      The lingering but messy state caused by this film, I say...

      Growth is learning not to be angry with yourself and the outside world

      In fact, it is really difficult to reconcile with yourself, and it is also difficult to reconcile with others, but once you understand that you have choices that allow you to be willing and comfortable, you will definitely get better. People can be at ease. Need, need more than other is want, will pay for it. If there is a contradiction, it must be a problem between connections. Society is contradictory, but fortunately, there is a distinction between virtue and inferiority, which allows us to...

      The protagonist can only be me

      The daughter's refusal eyes did not turn back in the end, the mother turned away from her hair, she was dignified and arrogant. It was still so frivolous to answer that the husband separated a second ago, but in a blink of an eye, my heart ached, leaving the declining side behind and in front of myself. She hurried to answer the phone, her pajamas blowing lightly behind her, so beautiful.

      No one can bind you, no one can keep you somewhere forever.

      Everything is in your own...

      BE INDEPENDENT!

      This is a very early literary film. Grey Garden. It tells about a mother and daughter who are addicted to singing and dancing. They are unwilling to follow the rules of the game and seek the comfort of a superior life by relying on marriage. They even wish to be so intoxicated in their singing and dancing forever.

          They forget that they will also grow old; their beautiful hair will fall out, and their graceful posture will be out of shape; they don't know that their charm is...

      CC Collection Part 123, produced in the United States in 1975. The fallen nobles lived in their homes, and the neighbors complained about the garbage. They lied in the bed all day singing and dancing, reminiscing about their past possessions. This pair of mother and daughter, who are related to the "First Lady", have been so dependent on each other for 25 years, tortured each other, and lived a sloppy life that shocked the world....

      Absolutely sexual performance art about time! You have spent your whole life telling a story about absolute art... art that suffocates, art that depresses to death, art that breaks down! It's a pity that many poor people don't know that alienation to the extreme is also an extreme sense of beauty. In the eyes of those poor people, they can only see tragedy, which is the real tragedy! !...

    Movie plot

    The film took seven months to personally record the entanglement between Jacqueline Kennedy and his distant relatives, mother and daughter. The director filmed the two to feed the cat, feed the raccoon, eat, remember the past, and complain about each other. The audience doesn't know much about their actual background, but they can see the characters and interactions of the two people vividly through the content of the film. The...

    • Edith 'Little Edie' Bouvier Beale: I can't stand being in this house. In the first place, it makes me terribly nervous. I'm scared to death of doors, locks, people roaming around in the background, under the trees, in the bushes, I'm absolutely terrified.
