The movie ending theme song "Bella" - Angus & Julia Stone This song will make you feel the warmth of the film for the first time. It is also a story about years and older women, this "Walking with Grandma" is not as sentimental as "45th Anniversary". In the shot, it is full of bright sunlight, and the scenes with high saturation are matched with clothing. The inner drama of the three protagonists, while complex and frustrated, is full of positive attitudes towards the status quo. This work, which won the 2015 National Critics Association: Top 10 Independent Film Award, is indeed about women, but it is not about feminism in a narrow sense, but about a larger theme. Like the quote at the beginning of the film: "Time passes. That's for sure." - Eileen Myles. For this, we can only say: "It's ture. It's so ture!" About the topic of time, it reminds me of "Love Before Midnight", the old man whose partner died, during the dinner Mention: "We appear and we disappear. And we are so important to some, but we are just passing through.". Our whole life is actually a constant experience in Passing Through. We pass through other people's lives, others pass through ours, that's all. "Someone appears and someone disappears, like a sunrise and a sunset. In 2014, there was a foreign language film "Two Days and One Night", starring Marion Cotillard as the heroine, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress that year. It's about a woman on the verge of losing her job, going door-to-door and asking her colleagues, and their families, to understand that they would consider giving up their year-end bonuses and thus vote for her to keep her current job. The same is that in "Walking with Grandma", the core problem is also related to money. Since the granddaughter dare not tell the truth to her mother, the two can only find people everywhere and borrow money bit by bit. Among them, a series of difficult questions about grandma's circle of friends, grandma's past, grandma's new girlfriend, etc. were brought out. Although the abortion scheduled by the granddaughter in the afternoon was imminent, the grandmother's past seemed to be more troublesome, and as the years passed, some beams became deeper and deeper. The wonderful thing about the film is that there is no old man's self-pity, or the emotional state of life all the time. Different from the artists in "Youth and Vigorous", and not the elegant women in "45th Anniversary", but a single, literary, old woman who doesn't rub the sand in her eyes, speaks directly, and even a bit mean-grandmother : Ellie. The fun of the film, just mentioned above, beating the granddaughter's ex-boyfriend, getting tattoos, and smoking marijuana, is enough to watch. Other granddaughters also taught their granddaughters how to make cakes or needlework. This Ellie criticized her granddaughter soon after seeing her. You don't scold anyone, at least you didn't scold that irresponsible ex-boyfriend. Plus, throughout the film, Grandma's new romance—a quarrel with his young girlfriend Olivia. From the smell of gunpowder, to grandma taking the initiative to go to Olivia's house to express her feelings, whether it is a highly literary, ornate scolding, or two people, one is afraid of the fact of the age difference, and the other is not willing to be ignored by the other party. , can be said to be noisy like a child. They are no different from ordinary couples, and love always turns people back into their 20s, no matter how old you actually are. The lens language of the film has been accompanied by slight shaking like handheld photography, smooth editing, with the development of the plot, whether it is interior or outdoor, such shaking is like the mood of the characters, with the sentimental, angry, Embarrassed, regretful. In the first shot of the film, in the morning, the breeze caressed the wind chimes in front of the window. At that moment, it heralded the beginning of this ordinary morning, but an extraordinary day. My granddaughter, who had been out of menstruation for 10 weeks, and my grandmother, who had been out of menstruation for 25 years, set off in a beautiful morning with great backlight, but my grandmother's classic car kept telling us that some old methods seem to have failed in this new era. Even so, the grandmother arrogantly took her granddaughter and embarked on this journey. After the granddaughter understood the story of the grandmother that she knew and should not know, the two had to face it, and the only way was to seek the help of the mother, that is, the daughter of the grandmother. Actress: Marcia Gay Harden, who, as a young woman, played the charming heroine Verna in the Coen Brothers' 1990 "Miller's Crossing." Years are not forgiving, and now playing such a middle-aged woman is really explosive. Grandma, mother and granddaughter seem to be mutually exclusive. Although the film does not elaborate on the details of how grandmothers and same-sex partners raised their daughters, to a certain extent, it also shows that parents will encounter the same problems. Grandma said that since her daughter was five years old, she had been afraid of her. But for granddaughter Sage, their love is the same. The conflict between religious belief and women's abortion rights in the film is another sensitive topic. However, as Feng Tang, a cultural hooligan, said, the emergence of contraceptives, to a large extent, created conditions for the liberation of women. Women need complete freedom of choice when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. After that, it is about women's independent destiny and the power of life. The granddaughter on the opposite side of the grandmother was at a loss, just said: "Would you go to hell with thousands of women who have had abortions? Don't be kidding, if you die, you will be smeared in the eyes, nothing else. ." There are many such lines in the film. Grandma was speeding on the road all the way, in order to let her granddaughter catch up with the operation, this is not to rush to reincarnate, but to really rush to have an abortion. Sometimes there are not many problems in life. As people say, money can solve it is not a big deal, but lack of money is a big deal, but what is more difficult is the courage to face yourself and the status quo. The film starts in the early morning and ends in the quiet late night. Grandma Allie, alone, is walking home, smiling to herself. The day about "Grandma" has finally come to an end. Wonderful story line, interesting character details (grandmother's emphasis on teeth), and the collision of literary dialogues, it can be said that there are many highlights. It's another movie that doesn't tell the big truth, and the truth is in the heart and feet. It feels like "Brooklyn", always thinking, watching it again. (The whole film is only 78 minutes, it is really short and exquisite, and it is impressive.) February 4, 2016 Toronto
