For the first ten minutes, the movie introduced me to a garrulous, mean-spirited, and somewhat obnoxious grandmother. When she was a spirited girl at the age of 15 or 16, she was so depressed by the trials and tribulations of life that she vowed to kill herself on her 30th birthday, but the camera panned out and the little girl was already a wrinkled grandma sitting at the mahjong table, playing mahjong while comparing with others whose children were more promising. Her ramblings have seriously affected the peace and quiet of the entire family, and even made her daughter-in-law have a heart attack, and her daughter-in-law needs to recuperate, so there is no choice but to go to a nursing home. And she is none other than Shen Mengjun, played by Gui Yalei. In a night before the nursing home, Shen Mengjun moody because of the lost into a "youth photo studio", she just want to take a good-looking photo will be placed on the urn, but unexpectedly, a photo but her life into a fantasy journey, and the film has officially opened the prelude.
Returning to her youth, Grandma (played by Michelle Yeoh) changes her name to Meng Lijun to pay tribute to her idol. Because of the love of music and by mistake, and grandson Xiang Qianjin (played by Lu Han) together to form a band, to pursue their youthful dreams, but also a series of oops, people can not help but laugh. While pursuing his dream, he meets a director Han (Chen Bo Lin), who helps him fulfill his dream. Finally, but because of an accident had to go back to the twilight of the grandmother finally transfused blood to the grandson in the emergency, but also counted the youth back to the real youth.
At the beginning of the movie, the main comedy, and the back with the plot step by step, so that my heart also a little bit tightened. Especially the last paragraph is the son to the mother said words, give a person a warm feeling, lead to tears, let a person touched. People can not help but think of their own mother to take care of their own scene.
"Back to 20" is the sister version of the Korean version of "Strange Her", although I have not seen the Korean version, but I can feel that the Chinese version is more grounded, but also more likely to let the audience trigger ****, the emotional flow is more natural, arousing the audience on the treasure of family love. I think this is also a concept that the director wants to express, of course, the movie is a movie, the possibility of realization is minimal, after watching the movie, joy, touched by the past, do not imagine that this kind of whimsical things will happen in their own bodies, what we have to do is to grasp the possession of every day, you wasted today, but exactly what others dreamed of yesterday, only to cherish the present and the future will not regret.
