The Farewell Comments

There are fewer expressions and more stereotypes. It was filmed for Westerners and not suitable for domestic audiences. There is a very important point. The female protagonist hunched her shoulders and stretched her neck throughout the whole process, but no one slapped her on the shoulder and said, her back is straight! Not realistic at...

A few scenes that made a deep impression. First, after everyone finished eating, Billi was the only one who observed the woman playing mahjong in the room in the corridor. Second, in the taxi, there was a story about the grandmother's former residence. Only Billi turned his head and desperately tried his best. The third is that everyone sat in front of the piano and played the piano angrily to express their depression. I think the most profound cultural conflict that can be expressed should be...

Compared with "Crazy Rich Asians", although it is also a nondescript American modified food, tangerine peel chicken, it is at least Chinese...

The directorial debut of 2019 SIFF is much better than what the Chinese made by themselves... The laughter is very appealing to me. The heroine's mother and grandmother acted very well. A contemporary Chinese city (Changchun) from an ethnic Chinese perspective. The soliciting drivers at the airport gate, the massage parlor, the hawking of kebabs on the street, the indiscreet curiosity of the hotel waiter, the grandmother's careful thinking about the foreign daughter-in-law entering the door,...

The best Chinese film this year is not a Chinese film. It is really ironic to think about it. Mainland directors have made Chinese stories like stories from another planet, while Wang Ziyi, a Chinese director, uses American thinking. Created a believable Chinese story. Unlike the Ang Lee family trilogy or Zhang Aijia's "Love and Blind Date", the director did not try to tell a unique story. On the contrary, what she told was just an ordinary story, a story that happened every day. , but he...

3.5 The unique tone and texture of American independent films are used to shoot domestic cities, as if covered with a translucent cellophane, the scene in the picture is familiar and unfamiliar. Just like the heroine who returned to China after many years, this land feels the same way to her. The identity of Lulu Wang makes it natural that this work will not only stay in the Western "curious" scrutiny of the East, but the film's main target is aimed at Western audiences, which also makes many...

A promotional video for the first generation of overseas immigrants to go home. The emotional contrast between the wedding banquet and the terminally ill, as well as the joys and sorrows hidden under the wedding banquet, and the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, are quite interesting. It is especially valuable that it does not favor the individual or the overall family culture. Those seconds of expressing emotions on the piano are the icing on the cake. Some scenes are slightly...

The Japanese uncle was so embarrassed about the cultural differences between the East and the West that he even cut it into the...

The Farewell | Don't Tell Her Director Lulu Wang's own real family story adaptation, from the perspective of new Chinese immigrants, tells a warm and sincere story. The script is very simple, mostly in Chinese, with a strong sense of resonance, not just a Chinese film for Americans. Awkwafina's performance is very good, much better than Crazy rich asians. Very good cry. Recommended to every beauty, especially...

In fact, the film is about the feelings of the director (the 1.5th generation of young immigrants), so the scores given by friends in the United States are significantly higher than those in China, and the second generation of Chinese born in the United States is probably not easy to understand... In The Chinese may seem a little fake, but in fact, they are all very real from the perspective of the 1.5 generation (international students should also feel the same). The actors are all so...
