1. Linda Ohama's Grandmother was 100 years old.
2. Asayo Murakami emigrated to Canada because after the great Kanto earthquake, her husband and two kids went off to live near the emperor and had nothing to live for so she wanted to start a new life by being a picture bride and marry a foreigner.
3. The secret that the grandmother had was how she had two kids and how she left them in Japan.
4. The good things about obaachan was how she brought beauty to where ever she went and had a socializing personality and made a lot of people smile with her dancing.
5. She often went outside the house so the kids felt lonely and did not get as much love and affection as much as they could get.
6. The most touching point in the film was where obaachan was able to see the her daughter the first time in 75 years.
7. If I were to make a film I would make it for my mother as she has gone to USA and New Zealand and I would like to know what experiences she had at those countries.
