The Farewell Comments

    Lulu Wang really grasps human emotions and oriental delicacy. Many scenes in the film will actually take place in families in northern China. Crazy rich asians are not like Asian families, this is what they are. The Chinese cried while watching, while the Americans laughed at cultural differences when they watched it. After watching the movie, they started crying down the stairs. The audiovisual language is excellent. For example, there is a 360-degree fast rotating two-week lens at the wedding...

    I really feel that acting is very embarrassing. I deliberately slowed down the performance in order to cooperate with awkwafina, who said that he has nothing to do with China. The script was also changed to be very straightforward and boring. The so-called cultural shock point was completely relied on dialogue and was completely filmed for the United States. People watching movies. Looks really...

    Like other Chinese film directors seeking roots, they float on the surface, staying at the director's only childhood memories of China, lacking in excavation and therefore lacking depth. The content of cultural conflicts is clichéd and superficial. In addition, except for the grandmother, the acting skills are very...

    The shooting is quite satisfactory, everything is the result of careful design, and at first glance, it is the work of the North American film education program; the same as "Floating City on the Sea", there is a common problem, that is, the director's recognition of the special identity, always I can’t jump out of the Western perspective, and I think it’s eastern enough, so I always feel incomprehensible; instead, I found an interesting topic: on the imagination of oriental weddings in...

    It mainly showed the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. The script did not touch me. It was obviously not good at presenting the details of Chinese life, but it was amazing. I still laughed when I saw the embarrassment. As a Changchun native, many sceneries in the film are where I grew up when I was a child. I even live in that neighborhood, and I can't quite know that area. My grandma died of lung cancer. After she was diagnosed, she took a targeted drug called Iressa. The price...

    7 points, some places are especially American, even if they come to Changchun and speak Chinese, they are also very American. However, some emotional details are still very kind, very Chinese. There are very straightforward areas in the film. The accumulation of conceptual lines and some elements makes it weird. At the same time, there are very real details. It can be seen that the director draws from his own life. In short, this is a movie with a very unique perspective and a very fresh...

    After watching the movie and going out of the International Finance, there were more English speakers than Chinese in Lujiazui subway station, which was momentarily...

    The sentence "In the West, life is individual; in the East, life is collective." It directly points out what the whole film wants to express. The film is not as comedy as expected, it is more about the discussion of the differences between Chinese and Western cultural thinking. "Suddenly, my grandpa is gone, the old house is gone, and even my grandma is almost gone." Grandma in the end watched the car slowly leave, touching my tear ducts. Perhaps it is not the patient who caused the death, but...

    The wedding is like a funeral held in advance, and the city is like a cemetery where memories are buried. Lie to her that it's just a benign shadow, or let her say goodbye to the world. Life in the West is individual, but life in the East is collective. Individuals obey the law and collectively seek kinship. The memories of catching dragonflies in the backyard of my childhood grandma's house are being destroyed in the transforming city. The ancient tacit understanding of don't tell her is still...

    Such a pyrotechnic subject can be shot so lifeless, and the director is great. It’s also a lie and a wedding, and it’s also the director’s second feature film. Ang Lee’s wedding banquet is already filming, and this film is still doing a comparative report on Eastern and Western...

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.
