Open-book proposition, a glimpse of the examination room
Grandma, nanny, grandpa Li, little grandma, mom, dad, uncle, aunt, cousin, new daughter-in-law, aunt, uncle, aunt's son (treasure)
I wrote so much, but I didn't bother at all, every character image was in my mind. 10 minutes after the start of the painting, it was clear who was who and their relationship, and everything did not need to be specially explained. After a meal, it was completely clear, and the director handled it perfectly.
Eating with the whole family is the best...

"Don't Tell Her" is a feature film released by American A24 Film Company, directed by Chinese female director Wang Ziyi, and co-starring Awkwafina and Zhao Shuzhen. The film was released in the United States on July 12, 2019, and in mainland China on January 10, 2020. The film is adapted from a true family story. It tells the story of a Chinese American family whose grandmother suffered from cancer, but the family chose to hide her grandmother and let all the family go home to see her last...

At the entrance of the alley, watching the children and horses go away, pretending to be strong and smiling, turning around and leaving, leaving behind the warmth of longing and life.
I have always felt that the client has the right to know his true condition, and even if it is terminally ill, he/she has the right to choose the gesture of farewell. However, if it is my relatives who have suffered misfortune, I am afraid I will choose to hide it. After all, death is too cruel, as soon...

Don't tell her, she will not be able to take the hurt; don't tell her, she will lose faith in life; don't tell her, let her go through the last part of life simply and happily.
Ten years ago, my grandfather was diagnosed with lymphoma, and my mother and uncles made the same choice and did not tell him. But when I came back from the hospital, my grandfather put the quilt on the kang and didn't stand up again.
Two years ago, my neighbor,...

Don't tell Director Wang Ziyi, I gave her movie three stars.
(Actually because I don't think it's as bad as 2 stars, it would be nice to have 2.5 stars)
The film is not so perfect, some lines are too blunt and straightforward, and cultural differences are completely reflected in dialogue. Even Bili's uncle directly said "this is the cultural difference between China and the United States.". But as the second feature film directed by Wang Ziyi, there is still something remarkable.
The filming...

Bili was walking on the streets of New York with lots of traffic. She stunned the birds in the courtyard on another piece of land with two ha-hos. Grandma's voice and smile were still lingering in her memory. The Chinese, American and Japanese families cooked a pot of stew in the Northeast. The structure of the play saw the shadows of Yang Dechang, Ang Lee and others. The tone of the atmosphere has traces of Hirokazu-eda, and the way of telling the story is completely Western. Identity and...

I listened to podcast 16 years ago and heard Wang Ziyi tell this true story, but I didn't expect it to be made into a movie. I love...

Although it is a more realistic expression of China in the American film, the whole story and the inexplicable sentimentality that are more flushed than the TV series are really...

I haven’t seen a movie for a long time, and a colleague I don’t usually meet highly recommended it to me for two consecutive days, which aroused my curiosity, so I went to the most literary cinema in our city to watch this movie. What impresses me in the film is not the difference between Chinese and Western cultures, nor the tragedy of dying, nor the ethical question of whether a terminally ill person has the right to know, but the ordinary family affection. Regarding going abroad, my...

This kind of Eastern-style emotion can be felt by people from different regions through the barrier of cultural...
Jian: I know it was hard. It was hard for us too.
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.
