So, like every other friday, i went for lunch at my grandma's.
Today was a bit different cause i had to bring her to the cemetery and to the supermarket.
Is a bit embarassing to go out with her cause she is 83 years old and she doesn't understand what is happening around her for most of the time and for that she is very rude with everybody, the other customers who (she says) keep going on her feet with the cart, the shop assistant and whoever else.
After that we went home, i starterd bragging about something, she laughed at me while i was keeping an eye on the boiling pasta cause my intention is to eat it not drink it like she does.
We eat in about 10 or 15 minutes and then we wait for the time to pass.
At some point she says to me "The other night i saw a movie. It was strange, there was this girl who worked the streets who made friends with this other girl who brought her home, they also slept together in the same bed but the parents of the girl weren't happy cause she was a prostitute."
I wasn't quite following her but then she said "i don't know what happened at the beginning but the other girl had a broken arm" and that was when i realized my grandma was explaining to me the plot of "Monster"!
So i say to her that i had seen it too at the theatre years ago and very satisfied she goes on with the story saying that the prostitute was killing men for money and the other girl escaped with her because the prostitute needed affection. She hadn't seen her children in a while so while in bed with the other girl she was cuddling her and loving her like she was her own child.
I was about to burst into the biggest laughter ever but i restrained myself cause, if not, i would have had to explain everything to her or find a lie to tell.
Then my grandma said "I liked it cause the actress was very good in her part and her smile was beautiful."
My points are:
1 Charlize Theron's acting is so good that also my 83 years old grandma
understands it.
2 Lesbianism is so out of the thoughts of my grandmother that she doesn't
even recognize it when she has it under her nose.
Tonight i am gonna see it again to have clear in mind what my grandma has seen, if she is really so close minded about something to don't even realize it or if the acts in the movie could have been mistaken...who knows!
I just saw it and or my grandma slept for most of the movie or she just was ashamed to tell me they were lovers and that they actually had sex.
A part from that is strange to know your grandma watches movies so full of verbal and physical violence.
