Some scenes in the film really belong to the East in Western imagery, with alienated colors. Such as superstitious souls, rituals such as life and death. But this is all in the original book, the matchmaker with white powder and little red lips is the subjectivity of the movie. But the fate and delicate emotions of women are basically in place. The narrative and structure are...

The novel is good. I'm also very impressed with the TV version - the suffering and hardship of women who are shaky but still passed on under another culture shock. The entire film version has a translation accent, some lines are blunt and comical, plus the accents of individual actors, obviously reading Chinese stories, but there is a strong "alienation". I think the story could be a bit more refined, and the use of voiceovers is still too much. When looking at Yu Feihong, she was not as bright...

Large oriental school scene. Not to mention the author's position, but to justify the idea that Chinese tradition (not to mention the simple homogeneous imagination) kills women, the logic and details are rigid. A lot of bugs 1. How can these mothers who are either low-level or murderous cross the ocean to become a rich wife in the United States? 2. Is the way to escape from home superstitious? This is too naive to imagine the patriarchal system. 3. The awakening of the mother's independent...

Exorbitant, first of all, this film does not have any structure, it is that everyone's perspective flashes back and cuts (accompanied by various narrations), which is a failure, because it is unable to integrate the expression into a story through details; secondly, the director's vision of China in the old society It is taken for granted, knowing what he is going to say, there is really no need to touch things beyond personal experience and lack of in-depth understanding; in the end, even...

The expression of the film is more of a drama, but the content is good, and the director is not a woman. But it can tell the life of a Chinese woman and the relationship between her daughter and her mother so well. Four lines and four generations of women almost contain all kinds of hardships that women have encountered in their...

There is empathy and distance. Chinese mothers and parent-child relationships from a Western perspective. Too many characters will inevitably lose details and emotional buffers, and the purified innermost words will become too sublimated. The structure of the four stories is too similar, and the narrative lacks variation. The actresses are very natural, and the sense of the times is rendered a little thin, like a kind of symbol or stage set. It's best to choose a group play, but it's unlikely...
