The Farewell Comments

    Since the sundance hit at the beginning of the year, I finally watched it. Overall, it is much better than the script. I think a large part of it is due to Awkwafina's performance, which made many plot points that were likely to be embarrassed when reading the script to be a soft landing. The rhythm and breath of the film enliven the atmosphere of the whole...

    I can't be more angry after watching it. The director doesn't know where the superiority comes from. Please do research before black Chinese people, don't shoot so stereotype! From beginning to end, I was deliberately hypocritical. If I really want to photograph the collision of Chinese and American cultures, please take a good look at it. Don’t shut the door and take it for...

    #siff2019# There will inevitably be some things that ABC people take for granted, but I think the director has paid attention to many details, such as the wedding gossip, and the delicate relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, including some artistic film-style Handling is also the highlight of the film. Whether the unique perspective brings the local audience a little more moving or a little more embarrassing should be the key to the success of this film afterward. I am biased...

    #2019圣丹斯# 4.5 Very humane. The director's perspective is very cordial and sincere, and his inspection of life details and cultural differences is no less than that of Li Ang back then. Some of the over-comedy processing is slightly distorted, but the overall sense of reality and imagery of the lens is very good, very pungent. Showcasing the style of small cities in China, which is very timid and not deliberately slanderous, makes people really like it. The soundtrack uses western style but is...

    Thanks to the hostess for her foothold on the road of female ruffians, showing the versatility of yellow females! Add one star to encourage and encourage...

    Bittersweet, touching and funny. White lies are common in Chinese culture because people believe that the patient’s fear of disease will make the condition worse. The film uses this point to let the audience understand the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and the definition of family, especially the drama at the dinner table. The lie that finally returned to family members was not out of selfishness, but out of love. Some Chinese local tastes were taken quite real, and some were...

    My tears are worthless. Many bridge sections are too real, just like what happened at the aunt's house next door in the community. In Sundance, there are indeed not good things. Sometimes I can't get the laughs of Americans. Many Americans laughed when their uncles returned from Japan spoke at the wedding. At that time, I was out of...

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.
