Pat Boonnitipat’s directorial debut
Plot
A man quits his job to care for his dying grandmother, motivated by her wealth. He plans to win her favor before she passes.. My Mother: When Grandma collapsed on grave-sweeping day, she told the doctor she had a stomach ache and found blood in her stool. . So they did a gut check. The results came out this morning.
Grandma has cancer
It is in the final stage. The doctor said she had a year to live.M: [playing video game without listening] Dead! Man, I told them to pray first. Shit… Stimulating film critic Roger Ebert once declared that movies are giant empathy machines, a statement I wholeheartedly agree with, and there is no better demonstration of this phenomenon than How to Make a Million Before Grandma Dies. A balance of emotions and a rollercoaster of feelings, what a ride it was!
You just need authenticity, no artifice
Writer-director Pat Boonniti didn’t even try to reinvent the wheel. You know exactly what will happen at the end; no ultimate panacea (here’s looking at you, queen of tears), no “it’s always darkest before the dawn”; ending and no final twist (there are twists of sorts, but Cho whispered to me an hour before it dropped what the twist would be, and of course she was right. How does she do it every time?), but This is a test of great storytelling in the sense that that you don’t need twists, flashy cinematography, full orchestration, a CGI dream sequence or an entire facet to serve up a delicious dish of thrills. The film’s greatest asset is its relationships. If you’re born into an Asian family with ancestral roots that stretch far and wide, you’ll feel familiar with all the characters. Here you can see the manifestations of your loved ones and family members – the patient daughter, the son who thinks that problems that can be solved with money are not problems, the grumpy daughter-in-law, the stupid son and the child whose eyes are glued to the computer screen.
about the actors who gave life to their characters
The story is fictional but feels real as the family dynamic is keenly observed as the death of the matriarch is imminent and the vultures begin to circle. Grandma isn’t stupid, she knows why she’s in the spotlight, and M isn’t spared either when she tells him, “And you sow seeds hoping to reap them, don’t you?” Credit must be given. I am surprised that this is Usha Seamkhum’s first role. She is so natural, without an iota of artifice. Putthipong "Billkin" Assaratanak is the perfect vehicle for Amaha’s approach to a meaningless life. You will watch his arc with fervor, knowing that he will be wise in the ways of life, and when that moment comes, it is so subtle that you know it is the sum of Amah’s many interactions with him.
everyone will find it boring
Although the plot is simple, I doubt it. As you roll towards your inevitable finale, it will happen – your tears will flow, but know that every river will be well-earned, as will every laugh. In fact, this is currently the highest-grossing film in Thailand and Indonesia, a testament to the fact that it resonated with many audiences. This is the rare film that Cho and I were still talking about over breakfast this morning, probably because we didn’t want the magic to go to waste trying to desperately cling to an honest story. You’ll be surprised that we can still detect vignettes of truth after a good night’s sleep, such as a quick scene with a monk in a wheelchair in a chemotherapy clinic, as if to suggest that the disease affects everyone, including the religiously devout, or the scene where Amah goes to meet her estranged brother to would borrow money for a burial plot. My theory is that Amah already knows the outcome but still wanted M to learn a hard life lesson.
