    1.5 The most speculative and most likely to lead to over-generalization of the film is the film about cultural...

    As people search for the lost ring in Aiko's dressing room, we discover their childlike state, Bili is completing her degeneration, becoming a cared child. Crazy Rich Asian is just a noisy and hypocritical version, "Don't Tell Her" really touches the unbearable core of Chinese families. However, the standardized audio-visual language of American independent films makes China present its familiar and unfamiliar language. On the one hand, the parallax and misrecognition of the camera produce form...

    The most unrewarding film I have seen this year, except for the central idea that can be summed up in one sentence, neither expressing nor thinking, cliche is so boring, even the hypnotic function is lost, and I can only wait for the end with my eyes...

    An almost dazzling display of spectacle, a sense of emptiness that has nothing to say. Everyone has more or less sad memories about their elders, but self-movement does not add points to the film. In fact, the capture of many details of life is very real and delicate. The bad is uncontrolled and indulged in it, which leads to the goal of entering the inner emotional world of the characters through cultural conflicts. It has become a castle in the air. The method is overwhelming, but the purpose...

    "Oriental people regard life as a collective", I may be a fake Oriental, the whole film is too embarrassing, and the look and feel is not as good as "Crazy Rich Asians". In fact, there are so many domestic film and television dramas every year, such as "Ode to Joy", "Everything Is Good" and "Little Joy". These banana people can see what kind of living conditions ordinary Chinese people are like by just looking at them. According to my own imagination, I made a Chinese society in a parallel...

    We followed a pair of New York eyes and walked through the rainy streets of Cyber ​​Changchun. This rare viewpoint design helped us discover a lot of absurdity and helplessness under the hustle and bustle, and also reconfirmed the real warmth and harmony after a lot of lead was washed away....

    The images of overseas Chinese living in the United States "returning to their hometown", which seems to be a bland family theme, are actually a collection of precise and intensive complaints. From boiling water, scraping to civil health care, the core is the biggest "cultural difference" - the right to know about diseases . It cannot be said that there is no deep nostalgia and a touch of sadness in it, but it is too much to focus on talking about "our Eastern collectivism is different from...

    Until the end, I didn't remember where I saw the exact same story. Only after reading the Wiki did I know that it was Lulu Wang's own story, which was broadcast on This American Life in 2016. She wrote and read it herself. Glad that the director has made so much progress after three years. The soundtrack and visual language are very good, and the director of Yicha has a double major in literature and music. Takeaway is that people should tell stories that they feel are worth telling, not...

    The director's sound recording is excellent overall, but there is nothing particularly outstanding. The slogan that "Oscar hits" is a bit too much. After all, it is only a small film with a small pattern, and there may be one or two nominations for the Golden Globe...

  • Garfield 2022-03-26 09:01:09

    Quite disappointed. The emotional catharsis about the concept of life and death that stays on the sentimental level, and the daily spectacle from a Western perspective. The two just happen to have nothing to do with telling a good...

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.
