M: Do you ever feel lonely?
Line of Events
A man quits his job to take care of his dying grandmother, motivated by her wealth. He plans to win her favor before she dies. This is actually the film debut of Usa Semkhum, a 78-year-old housewife who plays Meng Ju’s grandmother.
Amah: I wouldn’t call it lonely
It’s part of the process of life. 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 all by myself.
I initially watched this movie to support the actor Billkin
But now I really like this movie, be it the characters, the story, the production values and everything that supports the creation of this work. M, with all his attitudes and ways of thinking that then lead to every conclusion and decision, really manages to portray a character that is very close to most young people, especially for me who lives in an Asian family. The story in this movie reminded me that there are still many children and grandchildren who are growing up slowly making them forget how much they were once loved by their family.
This movie presents the story of a family with various turmoils within it
Similarly, busy schedules outside the home and living with a new family increasingly make them forget the importance of spending time with their parents. It is important to remember that many more children and grandchildren actually distance themselves from their parents for various reasons, both consciously and unconsciously. Meanwhile, parents still remain in the same place, watching their children grow, trying to accept their strengths and weaknesses and still loving them sincerely.
Finally, this is my first time writing a review about a movie
Without conflicts with big fights, but only through the delivery of dialogues, simple scenes and the acting of each character managed to make the audience enter the story and put themselves in the same position, perhaps with M, Amah, M’s mother, Uncle Soei and Uncle Kiang. I realize my incompetence in conveying thoughts and opinions, but ultimately I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie. Thank you.
