After watching this movie, I thought of my grandma, but this memory seemed too far away. I only remembered that my grandma helped me bathe when I was a child, and walked a long mountain road to see my brother and I. I remembered that I was as naughty and conceited as a child, so my grandma must also exist. With helplessness and doting, my grandmother passed away from lung cancer when I was in the first grade of elementary school. Later, when I saw other children having grandparents who hurt me, I would be jealous, because the only one in my childhood memory is you, my grandmother.

It turns out that a strong family relationship can never be broken. Even after many years, I still think of my grandmother’s photo in my wallet, because you are my most priceless spiritual wealth, encourage me, spur me, and bless me.

Grandma, I’m going to be a dad too. I can’t repay my gratitude. Without you, there would be no me. I love you, Grandma. "

“Watching this movie reminded me of my grandma, who has been bedridden for almost three years now!

I vaguely remember that when I was in elementary school, I would always go to my grandma’s house to wait for my parents after school. They were too busy with work, so grandma would always accompany me. My grandma was also stooped and on crutches. She was just as kind, but with short hair. I came back every day. , I can see my grandma looking at me from the window to see when I will come back. When I left at night, I was too timid to go down the stairs, so I asked my grandma to accompany me down. She was on crutches, and it was very laborious to go down each step. , and insisted on accompanying me until the last section.

I was not sensible when I was a child. I disliked my grandma for being unclean in cooking, for being too wordy, for walking too slowly, and for being poor. But every time I quarreled with my mother, I would go to my grandma’s house and cry for a while while she sewed. While comforting me, I also learned to play card games with my grandma. I didn’t respect her enough. She missed me so much that she called me. But I thought she was interfering with me watching TV, so I put down her phone with a sour face. Thinking about it, I felt really regretful. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandma would prepare colorful ropes and necklaces with small rice dumplings and small broomsticks for me, but I didn’t even take care of them. Cherish, I don’t seem to have left a single gift that my grandma made for me, and now I think about it, I really regret it.

I still remember that I bought a carton of milk for my grandma, but she was reluctant to drink it and kept it until the milk went bad. Grandma loves to watch Journey to the West, and I especially like to watch it with her. Although grandma is poor, she can’t give me what I want. Things, but grandma is very kind and gives me love that no amount of money can buy. Although I am naughty, rebellious, willful, and even rude, she always tolerates me with her kindness time and time again. Grandma, I I am eager to call out to grandma when I go to your house. I am here. You come out and greet me with hurried little steps. When I lie beside you, you can gently touch my hair with your rough hands. , pull off the threads on your body for me, it is very warm, let me soak in your love.

Grandma, you are sick, and everything will never be the same as before, but I still remember your love, my warmest memory. Grandma, I only know that your illness will get worse and worse, but I don’t want to think about that day. , I don’t want to think about it at all. I want to help you thread the needle and thread again, and lie next to you again. Grandma, I miss you so much. I want to see you when I go home. You have to recognize me. Grandma, I love you. ! "

"Many scenes in the film are very similar to what I have experienced, so when I watch the film, I feel like the past is replaying. My grandma is also in a remote town, and she is also hunched over and doesn't talk much. She likes to watch me laugh. Appearance. When I was a child, my mother took me back to my hometown to visit my grandmother. I was somewhat reluctant. The reason was the same as the little boy in the play. There were no TVs, computers, or delicious food in the countryside.

When I saw the boy helping my grandma to thread the needles, I burst into tears, because my grandma also liked me to thread the needles for her. There was no delicious food in the countryside, so my grandma took me to the market on a tricycle to sell vegetables. She bought me a few packs of crispy noodles with the money from selling vegetables. Just like in the play, the grandmother takes her grandson to the town to sell vegetables and buy him delicious food. To this day, I still remember the taste of those 2 cents-a-pack of crispy noodles, because it was my grandma’s taste.

The grandmother I miss so much seems to be on the screen, showing me a third perspective over the years. Only then do I realize how selfless, warm and deep my grandmother's love for me is. Don't wait until your son wants to be filial but your relatives are not there. "

There is a film review on the Internet titled: "We are not moved because of the story of the movie, we are moved because of our own stories!", which was liked by many people.

""Grandma's House" can be said to be a very ordinary and ordinary story: In order to find a job, a single mother took her son to the countryside and left it to the care of the hunchback and mute grandmother there. As time went by, the son was taken care of by a The initial aversion slowly got used to it, and the relationship with her grandmother continued to heat up. The final parting brought everything back to its original point. The director captured this typical story and processed it through images, making the story more concentrated and in-depth, and the emotions more delicate. moving.

In fact, the beginning of the whole story is very direct. The movie does not explain much information about the mother's background, or even any emotional rendering.

The scene starts with the anxiety on the train and the bus, and then the conversation with the grandmother explains all the information clearly.

In just a few minutes, all the background information that laid the foundation for the development of the film's story was introduced, very concisely.

In addition, it also involves his son playing game consoles, the only bus in the village, and the strong rural atmosphere, which fully pave the way for the following story. It can be said that the use of the opening shot is completely appropriate, more is not good, less is not good.

Why do you say that? Because the story of this movie always focuses on the son and the grandmother, many people discuss the mother, saying that she is unfilial or other things, but this is not what the movie wants to show everyone. Each of us can say a lot. It's a guess, but that's not what the director wants.

What the director wanted to tell was originally a story about the relationship between the grandson and the grandmother, and the subsequent slow unfolding of the story also illustrates this point.

The camera has always focused on the son and grandma.

On the one hand, my son was disgusted with the countryside at the beginning, then gradually adapted to it, then found fun here, and finally liked it a little bit;

On the other hand, the son also hated and laughed at his grandmother at the beginning, then gradually understood, then felt the warmth of her grandmother, and finally did not want to be separated from her. Director Li Yi has a very accurate grasp of the psychology and emotions of children, but what is rare is that the film almost does not use vulgar sensationalism to impress the audience.

Of course, perhaps to a certain extent, this is due to the grandmother's inability to speak, so all emotional expression falls on a child, and a child cannot express his emotions accurately and comprehensively in language, so it is It can only be done with the help of plot and scene settings.

So the story is like a group of sequences, and each group of plots is a sequence carefully arranged by the director. They are arranged in an orderly manner under the lyrical image style. By the end, enough of these sequences have built up, and at the call of parting, spurred on by the music, they burst forth, inspiring tears in the audience.

Of course, although it is popular and even vulgar, this is still a movie that touches the audience because it touches our memories.

Not only is the family love involved in its story irresistible to us, but also the social form presented in the film is exactly what we are familiar with and have experienced.

If you call this a strategy, then this is the director playing the "collective memory" card, and its target audience is also the generation in the period of social transformation. In the childhood memories of this generation, they were more or less taken to live in the countryside for a few days or weeks. In rural areas, in the memory of this generation, there are dim lights and unnamed bedbugs inside the house. Outside the house there is always a mute or deaf person, a dog, a few cattle and sheep, and a canteen with incomplete goods...

These are their shared memories. More importantly, during the growth of this generation, due to various reasons such as parents working or divorce, they also had a period of time when their grandmothers or grandmothers took care of them. Movies are often magical. When these scenes and events are shown on the screen, their memories are immediately brought back to the past. The movie not only tells the audience the story of the little boy, the movie also drives people to It allows the audience to think about their respective childhood years and their respective old people of great significance. After the past events continue to emerge, emotions begin to overflow, and all our movie-watching emotions need a reasonable outlet, so at the end of the farewell , in the moving background music, we were moved by the story of the little boy and his grandmother, and we were even more moved by our own story.

Why do we say that we are not moved by the stories in the movie, but by our own stories? That's it.

This movie is not like Hachiko in "The Story of Hachiko". His loyalty and persistence for ten years are touching. But it is special, Hachiko is the only one.

The reason why we are moved is not because we have pets or anything else. The reason why we are moved is because of the plot of the movie. It takes more than half an hour to sensationalize and make you have to be moved.

It's not like "Artificial Intelligence", where he has been waiting for thousands of years just to find maternal love. The reason why we are moved is because he has been longing for maternal love for thousands of years, and we can get it by mistake. This persistence and this admiration are real. rare.

It's not like the little girl in the "Deal" short film that made people cry, because she was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

"Grandma's House" can be said about the little boy in this movie. He is actually not special at all. He is just like the childhood impression of many of us. Everyone can find their former self in him, and the emotional interaction between him and his grandmother is also Not much, but just like ourselves.

This movie is more like a key, a key that unlocks the locked memories of grandma and grandma in our hearts.

So, when the door of memory opens, what is left is our own story. We are watching movies. While we are criticizing other people's stories, we are also re-reading our own stories, and then we are trapped in memories and cannot extricate ourselves. We will naturally shed tears for the unforgettable stories we have experienced.

On the other hand, the reason why many of us find ourselves reflected in this movie has a lot to do with the general environment.

In the movie, when Xiao Wu said he didn’t want to go to his grandma’s house, she immediately punched him. What he brought to grandma was nutritional supplements that she didn’t need at all. Her evaluation of Xiao Wu was: “He likes to be alone, so it’s not a problem.”

From a series of words and deeds, it can be seen that he is a child who has long been lacking family affection, suppressed emotions, and grew up neglected. This seems to provide a reasonable explanation for the subsequent conflicts and ambiguities between Xiao Wu and his grandmother.

How can a child who has never felt love know how to love?

There is a kind of love that is always simple and unpretentious. It is silent and unobtrusive, and every action is the most tender words in the world. Let you who have seen all aspects of life have the courage to face the sincerity deep in your heart, let you get "salvation" and learn to forgive.

This kind of love is just like what is shown in a movie, which does not have shocking visual effects, but is heart-warming in detail.

Therefore, the colors in the movie are very light compared to popular movies, but the combination of cold and warm tones makes it look particularly warm and clean, just like grandma's simple love, without any other impurities.

Whether it is the winding mountain trails, simple huts, warm yellow crop fields or characters with different personalities, they all give us a very comfortable feeling.

It matches the true truth that the movie wants to interpret. The light color is exactly the love and tolerance between relatives that does not need to be concealed. At the same time, it also closely resembles the image of the grandmother in the movie: there is a heart of tolerance hidden under the plain and watery appearance. A loving heart.

This feast of inclusive love and "redemption" will naturally make many people feel the same way. While arousing the importance of family affection deep in my heart, I also thought: I need to be more tolerant and patient with the people around me. The delay of time is enough to warm people's hearts. Let the barriers turn into mutual embraces and let love come home with true feelings. "

　Happy winter solstice!
