Thelma: I didn’t expect to grow old
Narrative
When 93-year-old Thelma Post is tricked by a phone scammer posing as her granddaughter, she embarks on a treacherous mission across town to get back what was taken from her. In the movie, Thelma’s apartment is the real apartment of the real Thelma, who is still alive at the age of 103. Clip of the real Thelma looking at the trees and exclaiming, “What a ghost!” similar to its film counterpart is played at the end of the film.

Similar to Amanda the Jedi Show: The BEST and Weirdest Movies You (Mostly) Haven’t Seen Yet | Love Lies Bleeds (2024). Enchanted Evening Written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. "Thelma" June Squibb and the late Richard Roundtree give some fun performances in a rare film that sees elderly characters without their patronage.
At 81, he’s in pretty good shape, aside from the usual problems of aging
The main bond in the film is between a young man and his grandmother, but I saw a lot of my mother’s character Thelma. She has mobility issues and said it would be tempting to sit on the couch and watch TV all day, but she strives to stay active and independent. He feels great about it and I know if he had a choice between going out and riding, risking injury or overdoing it, or slowly getting out of a sedentary lifestyle, he would say he would take the risk.
But then you’re taking away the very thing that helps them stay fresh and healthy, even if you mean it well
I don’t blame her because I think I would feel the same way."Thelma" he understands what it’s like for children trying to take care of elderly parents. You want to let them be independent, but you also know that whatever happens to them is yours to deal with, so you do it for them and warn them not to try to do too much on their own. It’s a tricky situation, and it’s no wonder that research shows that life satisfaction among people in their 40s is the lowest it’s been in decades.
I, on the other hand, could not connect to the helicopter at all
Raising Parker Posey and Clark Gregg in this movie because I’m not like that at all.
