He plans to win her favor before she dies
Chronology
A man quits his job to take care of his dying grandmother, motivated by her fortune. This is actually the film debut of Usa Semkhum, a 78-year-old housewife, who plays the role of grandmother Meng Ju.
M: Have you ever felt lonely?
Amah: I wouldn’t call it loneliness. It’s part of the process of life.
It’s been a while since I cried watching a movie
Amah: I have a problem with the day after Chinese New Year. When all the leftovers from the night before are in the fridge and I know I’ll have to eat them alone.
The development of M’s relationship with her grandmother was beautifully done
It portrays the nuances of family relationships and mortality that I could relate to a lot, surprisingly. I enjoyed the quiet moments, the moments when they shared laughter and grew closer.
I really enjoyed the acting and cinematography, as well as the background music that accompanied the scenes
The story was written in a way that conveyed the importance of loving and caring for your parents and relatives without being pretentious. I really liked the ending and it was nice to see that the whole family visited Ah Ma’s grave during Qing Ming.
