      Treasure old lady's 'unknown' past

      In the dog abuse variety show "Wife's Romantic Travel", the young actor Ying Er once admitted that he was once in confusion because he had given birth to a child.

      Indeed, many actresses will more or less affect the development of their careers because of family and...

      Lonely but greedy warmth

      This warm film was seen by accident last year. The road of life is bound to have losses and gains. This lady's life is tragic, but the delicate feelings between people, under this kind of life encounters is very lucky. It is impossible for people to trap themselves in chains forever, and it is also impossible for people to open their hearts to others. Only such contradictions can constitute us. In this society, many people have to trap themselves in chaos, but they are greedy for such a...

      woman living in van

      I would think that this kind of plot is really strange, but there is an inexplicable liking, does it come from the real emotions in life... I will think that the heroine's life is really sad, and I will also think that she knew the young man at the end. The boy who was not killed by her, would she hate him and let her live like this for half her life. It's just that I saw many, many stories of her in her life, and I think she will know a lot of things, or maybe it's just like what she said...

      The lady in the van

      Love Maggie Smith's British humor. This movie makes people come back to their senses from "Downton Abbey". There are many ingenious ideas in the movie's conception. The final ascension is a thunder point. Some of the designs are too artificial and seem to fall into the clichés. Overall, I still think it's a good movie, and if you want to dig into it, you can probably reflect it into some grand themes and backgrounds. But compared to that, I prefer to see it as a simple work. Maggie finally...

      That unforgettable bright yellow

      People who know me well know that I especially like watching the TV series "Youth Bao Qingtian". When I thought of the title of this article, I suddenly thought of a line in it. Pang Taishi, so there are flattering books such as "Pang Taishi and My Mother's Two or Three Things" on the market.

      But this has nothing to do with what I'm going to say today, it's just an awkward opening remark...  

      Would you go to a movie because of a picture or a line? I can. Just like I finished...

      Just remember, a lot of times you don't help out because of kindness but because of laziness. btw The old woman complains about the writer, you write about your mother every day, but you never accompany...

      Women are really like duckweed, without roots, they are easily blown away. Her sparkling talent was stifled by the church, and she was always cautious. She couldn't face up to sudden changes, and she went downhill step by...

      Because the protagonist is a history boy, the author summoned a group of actors in the film, which feels a bit...

      Lonely life, the fetters of warmth, I always feel that seeing some aspects of my old age, it is probably lonely, a little sad and a little calm. Grandma Maggie is a real drama, and the boys from the history department made a cameo...

    Movie plot

    In the autumn of 1977, Ms. Shepherd, a wandering old lady with a weird personality, came to a middle-class community in the East End of London. She drove an unbreakable classic van, eating, drinking, and sleeping, all in the car. Every family in the community leads a decent life, and the old lady is like a smelly old hen, breaking into the backyard of the peacocks murderously. Every family should show kindness and compassion as much as...

    Evaluation action

    The film relies on a smooth, delicate, convergent narrative, calm lyricism, and witty language, making an old lady like a hard mirror, reflecting the life of the playwright, the life of the entire community, and even the spiritual world of the British. The film is not about the suspense of the heart and the lungs, nor the turbulence of emotions. It is very light, like a small snake swimming by in the pool, which induces the audience's...

    Movie quotes

    • Miss Briscoe, Social Worker: We all have names. Perhaps if you called her by her name and she called you by yours, "Alan", "Mary", you never know, it might be easier to talk things through.

      Alan Bennett: Through? There is no through. How do you talk things through with someone who has conversations with the Virgin Mary?

    • Miss Briscoe, Social Worker: She tells me you don't encourage her to get out and lead a more purposeful life, and put obstacles in her way.

      Alan Bennett: I don't encourage her to think she can become prime minister. I *do* encourage her to try and get to the supermarket.

      Miss Briscoe, Social Worker: Yes. A carer will often feel that...

      Alan Bennett: Excuse me, may I stop you? Do not call me the carer. I am not the carer. I hate caring. I hate the thought. I hate the word. I do not care, and I do not care for. I am here, she is there. There is no caring.

      Miss Briscoe, Social Worker: Alan, I'm sensing hostility again.

    • Alan Bennett: [narrating] The chair goes up on a lift. And in this small ascension, when she slowly rises above the level of the garden wall, there is a vagabond nobility about her. A derelict Nobel Prize winner, she looks, her grimy face set in a kind of resigned satisfaction.

      Miss Shepherd: Could we do that again? I'd like another go.

      Ambulance Man: When you come back.
