I accidentally saw this film on HBO yesterday. I saw it halfway through without a clear opening statement. What I saw should be the prosperous young Edie and the beginning of the downhill run of the old Edie in Grey Gardens.

What attracted me at first was Edie's full accent, without the joy, courage and aggressiveness of the heart and lungs, rushing to the famous producer, ignoring the eyes and eyes of the surroundings, and singing and dancing casually. She said that she likes married man the most, because they are generous, know how to love, and don't stick to others, give each other space and let themselves have Career.

Who said girls can't have it all, it's definitely not Edie Beales.

Unexpectedly, in the short period of peak prosperity, they would turn all the way back and forth, the camera cut back to the perspective of Maysles Brother, little Edie still touched the married man sincerely, and missed the harmony At the opportunity of the filmmaker Audition, hair loss started under a lot of pressure, Mr. Beales passed away, the Trust Fund ran out, the old Edie stuck to Grey Gardens, which represented him, and began to fall.

The two of them kept complaining. Old Edie told little Edie: Yes, you had your moment, but you missed it.

There is a very interesting scene in the whole film. The still young Edie went to buy cat food and ice cream and was on his way back. Encountered a three-way intersection, all the way to New York Highway 114, all the way back to Grey Gardens. Little Edie glanced at the popular celebrities in the gossip magazine, and rushed to New York as soon as she shifted gears. A smile burst onto her face and she firmly flicked her fingers forward. Yes, she didn't miss the moment, no Running towards the audition, running towards the married man, but she got it wrong.

However, when Maysles Brother started to take pictures in the distance, the little Edie, who lost her hair for a long time, did not miss the moment this time, and invited them in for a cup of tea. The news of Jackie O’s downfall and distant relative made headlines and became famous later. The documentary Grey Gardens, and then remake.

When you sit there, a lot of years like water in your hands will pass quietly, whether you are like old Edie, holding on to the Grey Garden that represents yourself, or like little Edie, Have your moment, even if you missed it one !
