The Grey Garden was originally the mother and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy's distant relative Edie, that is, the protagonist's house. People are not fragrant.” Although the garden is gray and overgrown with weeds in the cloudy world, little Edie still grows wildly like a weed, and has grown beyond his youth.
She wanted to leave the Grey Garden all her life: once was to go to New York to pursue her dream, but before her dream came true, she was brokenhearted by a married politician and returned home to seek solace; once was the death of her father, she agreed with her brother and sold Grey Garden An island without a cold winter, she thought she could escape from withering, but her mother's opposition left her to live a life of constant misery. Mother and daughter depended on each other to survive one harsh winter after another, slumped and withered. She returned to New York again to participate in the premiere of "Grey Garden", the only movie she participated in and played as the protagonist, and spent most of her life refining the script to play her own life.
Little Edie complained that her mother had delayed her life and her chance to pursue her dreams. The mother retorted that no one can tie others to one place, only by themselves; as long as she wants to go, she can go at any time, and no one can stop her. In fact, whether little Edie dared to go to New York again because of emotional injury, or because of her suspicious mother who kept her by her side, I don't think it can be easily concluded. The mutual influence and entanglement between the two are as noisy and constant as their mother-daughter relationship. Never give up.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the 34-year-old Drew Barrymore's acting skills have improved to a new level. She has transformed from the silly stereotyped roles in previous romantic comedies. Perhaps her personal life experience can also allow her to understand the role well. : Born in the Barrymore family, a well-known performing arts family, he started his career as a child star from the role of the little sister in "E·T". Like most American child stars, he was infected with drugs during the flowering period, and his career changed from prosperity to decline, such as the decline stage of the Edie family; After successfully quitting, he took up romantic comedies and started a new acting career. Drew, who has tasted all the flavors, can play the similar little Edie well.
The director is good at rendering the desolate and decadent atmosphere. The old house full of holes and hordes of animals inhabited, the withered yellow weeds high above people, and the low sky served as the main background of the film. In the portraits of Edith's young women, the old days were bright, and they repeatedly appeared to compare the present and the past. Little Edie walks around the decayed old house wrapped in graceful fur, out of place, expressing her inner grief for the clothes giver who made her emotional and future depressed. Mother and daughter shared dark food, raised cats, accumulated fleas, and often indulged in "Tea of Two" that brought them back to their beautiful old dreams. The more dirty and smelly the old house is, and the more the mother and daughter protect each other, the more sadness pervades them. The mood is like the sympathy that comes from watching the clown try his best to make people laugh. After the movie was over and the subtitles were exhausted, little Edie, who was finally able to take the stage in the New Year, returned to the center of the stage. At the end of the song, there was a lone light and a shadow. The sixtieth old woman wrapped in red recalled that there was almost never a fleeting prosperity.
