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 Grandma Meng Joo. M: Do you ever get lonely? Ama: I wouldn’t call it loneliness. It’s part of the process of life. Ama: 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. No matter how hard you try to hold back the tears, the wall will probably come crashing down at the end, with a pickup truck delivering a farewell so beautifully. A question arises as you watch this scene. Are the tears falling because the film is well-made, or simply because viewers (including me) immediately connect the events on screen with personal memories? The answer is "both." “How to Make a Million Before Grandma Dies” feels relatable because it deeply understands family dynamics, especially in Asian families. How inheritance can erode affection, how gatherings at grandma’s house are always a warm moment, how grandma eagerly awaits the arrival of her children and grandchildren while wearing her best clothes, and how the loneliness after being together is so piercing, especially for seniors living alone. The memories of all those times together are truly the precious legacy.
