Hi guys, this seem to be trending now in youtube. It is funny, but I still don't understand two things: why there is lonely grandpa with dog and then.. once a grandma seem to show up, but in the background... and second: why grandpa does not talk to his son even the word: Jaga Is this a test or trap? How ever, and what ever my self will respond with the reasoning this exist. It is of course, a test with out a fail or pass. My training in this situation is from the observational manner of pathological examination of the facts presented. Whilst though, with this in the spirit of the present occasion, demonstration of use of the tools of empathic observation. You have presented some questions in the actions presented by the actors of this event, this are answered through observation using the same tools of empathic understanding of both the physical non-verbal message and reasoning placed by English subtitles. Grandpa is not lonely, only thinking whilst standing at the window looking but not seeing the rain falling. He has recently received an invitation from his son living in the UK. Grandpa knows and understands the common language spoken in the UK, is English, and he must adjust to that knowledge with language tools he will order. Some aspects of the film are not shown, but left blank for the observer to recognize through empathic observation. Grandma observes Grandpa and recognizes what he must do, and understands his motive. Mean whilst, Grandpa receives his language course and sets to work in the proper self organized methodlogical manner of learning a foreign language, with this he has done with practice and repetitive motions. One now is some what proficient in English to get by in the land of the UK to be with his son. He arrives and pregreeted by his son, this is not shown in the film, but must be understood by the empathic method of reasoning. What we each perceive through our individual methodlogical observation is governed by serval indicated markers. This is our powers of correct observation of our world around us, events and reactions. Commensurately composed of our individual experiences/education/training/introspection of our individual mindset and powers of discrimination of what is factual and what is tossed out as non important.

Karl,
thanks for your thorough presentation. I agree that grandma is in the background, although in the beginning it looks that grandpa is just alone with the dog. I liked the funny scene of him being in the tram and training "I love you" and a girl in front hearing him.
The grandpa is a good actor and has a good voice and yes...it is touchy...

I did not see Grandma. There was a lady when he was leaving holding the dog but she could have been a neighbor who would be looking after the dog. Why did grandma not go with Grandpa then to see new grandson. He looked as if he was alone the whole time. I assumed he was going to US but maybe that's cause I live here and it was an assumption. (didn't see signs of UK) And it looks like grandson was interracial which surprised me.

Dear Rdywenur,
I think Karl was right that the Polish grandpa went to his sons family in the UK. When he lands on the foreign airfield I hear a voice speaking in British English, I see a poster with British flag elements, the grandpa is carried to the home of his son in a typical London Black Cab. Only the house could be considered typical American or international in style. I look with a cinematographic, photographic, linguistic, cultural and historical view.
I also believe that the Polish grandfather is alone, because I don't see a grandmother present in his home. He is a typical Polish gentleman, and he actually reminds me somewhat of my Polish grandfather, except my granddad was taller, and I only knew him until I was six. I like the atmosphere of the movie, the sense of humor in it (that he puts post it's on everything in his house -even his dog- to learn the Enlgish language). I smiled about the same thing Jaga mentioned, grandpa being in the tram and training "I love you" and a girl in front hearing him.
I like the observational manner of pathological examination of the facts presented by Karl. Karl's own power of correct observation of the world around him, events and reactions. Since I grow older and more mature I hope by doing my job and in fact looking at a situation or subject from different view points (via interviews or via discussions on Forums like this) I learn to see things in perspective. This movie is kind, empathic and shows the life of an old man and his family abroad. It is very sympathetic and charming. Thank you for posting it Jaga.
Cheers,
Pieter
