The life of the Indian immigrant family of Indian female guide MiraNair in the United States~ There is a detail: when Gogol in high school complained about his name at the table, the father grabbed the same food while the siblings used spoons. Also, I saw "acquaintances"-Koreans in the classroom, Kyle's best buddies in "Rear...

Very real and moving. I like the well-paced pacing of this movie and some of the little details that are memorable. The rhythm is: low-spiky-low-spirited to give you some highlights right away when you're about to sink, and then another sharp turn. Neither bored nor...

There is no Indian-style singing and dancing, this is a film that is purely about the correct understanding of immigrant culture. As the saying goes, there are only three generations of wealth, and the same is true of immigrants. There is always a cultural gap between the first and second generations of immigrants, and their own positioning is also very...

Describe the cross-cultural adaptation between one-generation immigrants and second-generation immigrants, and their identification with and belonging to the mother culture and landlord culture. There is no need to start from the Indian point of view, as long as you observe its cross-cultural adaptation and emotional exchanges between parents and children, you will gain something. For our parents who gave us everything at the end of the movie, I was deeply...

If you are moved by this film, please watch "The Joy Luck Club", which is about the emotional entanglement of two generations of Chinese people in the United...

The player automatically selects similar videos to play after "The Salesman", which is actually very nice. The generation of Indians who immigrated to the United States, and the new generation of Indian children who grew up in the United States, talk about the propositions of the times about tradition and ignorance, love and belonging, freedom and recovery, so the pace is so fast that it is eye-popping, but there are no warm details at all....

notes
One of the best movies about cross-cultural (immigrant) identity I have seen so far. The questions raised by the film are more interesting than the film itself.
My parents immigrated to India from the first generation and faced a culture and environment that was very different from that of my own...

The movie lacks many details that reflect emotions in the novel
The fragmentary emotions that can be experienced in the text of the novel have disappeared in the movie.
In the scene where Ashima received a call from his hometown late at night when his father died of illness, the actions her husband should do were completely out of order. In the novel, before...
