As the posters and movies say: This is a basically true story. Adapted from the drama of the same name, based on real people and real events, "The Lady Living in a Truck" tells about an old woman who experienced an unnecessary traffic accident and escaped. Out of fear and self-blame, she was imprisoned in a small truck. inside. Her quirky personality and poor hygiene made her neighbors avoid her. However, the writer Alan Bennett (who was also the original author of the film and stage play) took her and her truck in, and planned to let her stay at home. She stayed in her front yard for 3 weeks, but she stayed there for fifteen years, until the old woman passed away.
This film is observed through the perspective of the author Alan Bennett, narrating this weird old woman. In the narration that came, Alex Jennings' calm tone was slightly sad. When the rough experience and tortuous life of the old woman hidden under the weird behavior are revealed step by step, even the bright colors and cold humor can hardly conceal the author's sorrow and the feelings of bystanders. There is no deliberate sensationalism, no rigid positive energy output, and some are just a bit of warmth accompanied by the witty British style.
