    Bili was walking on the streets of New York with lots of traffic. She stunned the birds in the courtyard on another piece of land with two ha-hos. Grandma's voice and smile were still lingering in her memory. The Chinese, American and Japanese families cooked a pot of stew in the Northeast. The structure of the play saw the shadows of Yang Dechang, Ang Lee and others. The tone of the atmosphere has traces of Hirokazu-eda, and the way of telling the story is completely Western. Identity and...

    I listened to podcast 16 years ago and heard Wang Ziyi tell this true story, but I didn't expect it to be made into a movie. I love...

    Although it is a more realistic expression of China in the American film, the whole story and the inexplicable sentimentality that are more flushed than the TV series are really...

    I haven’t seen a movie for a long time, and a colleague I don’t usually meet highly recommended it to me for two consecutive days, which aroused my curiosity, so I went to the most literary cinema in our city to watch this movie. What impresses me in the film is not the difference between Chinese and Western cultures, nor the tragedy of dying, nor the ethical question of whether a terminally ill person has the right to know, but the ordinary family affection. Regarding going abroad, my...

    2019.01.31 Sundance Film Festival / The most emotional film in the entire Sundance. It is the most anticipated Chinese element movie in 2019. The director is Chinese. The most powerful thing is the film's detailed grasp of the cultural differences and conflicts between China and the United States. Pretty accurate.

    Like a display stand, the details (such as the daily details of shredding the petals to prevent theft when sweeping a grave) are stacked with clichéd and some even outdated wonders of Chinese-style life, although you know these exhibits are just deliberately collected. , but there will still be moments touched by it. Aside from some catastrophic parts (such as the handsome doctor), the aunt-in-law and the comrades-in-arms reminiscence scenes are very life-like, Lin Xiaojie's performance is...

The Farewell quotes

  • Jian: Chinese people have saying, when people get cancer they die. It's not cancer that kills them, it's the fear.

  • Jian: I don''t like, you know, put all my emotion on display. Like I''m in the zoo. But in here, if you don''t cry, you don''t put a show, they think that you don''t love your family. You know, in here, they even hire some professional criers. Just to show how sad they are. It''s just so ridiculous. I hate that.
