I just watched Shang Qi a few days ago, and I remembered the very popular and controversial Crazy Rich Asians. Crazy Rich Asians. Under the shell of a loud, curious, and satirical rich man, there are good Chinese music, familiar family concepts, and most interestingly, a few strong and brave women. From the male protagonist's mother, to the female protagonist's mother, to the male protagonist's sister-in-law, to the female protagonist. Compared with the male characters in the play, the female characters are even more brilliant.
As the mother of the male protagonist, the husband and the child, the inheritance of the family business is the family concept instilled since childhood, and it is also her understanding and positioning of herself. For her, her son is actually moving away from her. And when the son delayed his return to China for a year, it shows that some things are more important in the son's heart than the family responsibility. Knowing that his son is going to bring his girlfriend back, the first thing is to resist, expressing the position of a parent like a son. Then, as the movie developed step by step, I realized that my mother's biggest worry was that her girlfriend was an American. The core value is no longer family, but personal well-being. So, this is a fundamental conflict of values. The foundation for the continuation and development of a family is that people in the family put family interests before personal interests. Therefore, as a parent, it is impossible to accept such an outsider who only cares about his own happiness and destroy the family that he has worked so hard to build and manage. The wrong door is just an appearance. So, of course, she will press step by step to let her girlfriend retreat. This is not only the mother's real idea, but also a small test. Because even if this level is passed, the challenges after marriage will be even more and bigger. It is necessary to divide it early so that everyone can save trouble.
Talking about the male protagonist's sister-in-law. He was really handsome when he finally had a showdown with the male protagonist.
"What do you mean you're leaving? Where can you go?"
"I own 14 apartment buildings, so it's probably one of them. You see your son when it's convenient for him, not when it's convenient for you."
"Hey, you know it's not just my fault."
"You're right, I shouldn't hide from you: hiding shoes, refusing to work, charity work, constantly worrying about doing something that will hurt your self-esteem. But let's be clear, the problem in our marriage isn't my family's money, it's yours A coward, you've given up on our marriage. But I just found out that it's not my job to make you feel like a man, because I can't make someone who isn't a man a man."
I hope women can treat themselves a little better and stop their losses in time. Concession does not bring about change, it only heralds the next concession. So many bad actors have been banned, and some stars who cheated during pregnancy are still making money in various variety shows, cheering everywhere they go. How ridiculous.
Then there is the part where the heroine asks her mother about her life experience. I thought that the heroine might be very excited, hating her mother for not telling her the truth, making herself so humiliated and disgraced in front of her boyfriend's family. However, maybe because face was not so important to her, she just asked her mother this question head-on. The mother no longer concealed herself, and explained her motives in a few simple sentences, and the daughter quickly understood what her mother was responsible for. It also made me understand the origin of my daughter's character better.
Finally, of course, is the "let" of the mahjong table. It's easy for people who have everything to forget that there are things in this world that money can't buy. And the male protagonist's mother is one of them. She doesn't need anyone to give her things to herself, because she lacks everything. However, the conflict of ideas and values has actually made her about to lose her son. The heroine's letting, instead, let the mother come out of her omnipotent illusion to re-understand her son and her relationship with her son. Mahjong is very clever. Only a fool folds a winning hand. But when she said this, she just breathed a sigh of relief from the panic. She knew that the heroine was the winning hand, and she was the losing hand. And the heroine's next words made it clear, "There's no winning. You made sure of that." In fact, she was telling her mother that her behavior was just destructive , destroyed the heroine's card, and also destroyed his own card. However, the heroine is no longer thinking of winning. If the mother puts the hero under AorB's choice, then she will help him make the choice.
In fact, if the belly is a little darker, the mahjong table section is deliberately arranged by the heroine, in order to win back the heart of the mother, it is actually established. Sincere persuasion, no concealment, no coercion, just discussing the matter and being open and honest, in fact, also laid the foundation for equal communication in the future. This is indeed an artistic life, but it seems that this is also an ideal mode of communication for a family? We sometimes feel that the purpose of communicating with family members is more important than the process, so we glorify "white lies" and use our seniority and status to coerce. But in fact, if it is really a family member who loves each other, is it not a better choice to choose a way that the other party can accept to impress and convince the other party? But we tend to choose the option that seems simpler.
The heroine showed me that she is neither humble nor arrogant, she deserves what she has and will have. The film is not so much the story of Asia's richest man as it is a love letter to brave and wise women.
