I gave a 5-star praise because I think the film shows the contradictions between the East and the West, tradition and modernity, marriage and love, feelings and reality... clearly and realistically.
After watching the whole drama, I thought of a lot, combined with my own life experience, let me say a few points that aroused my feelings.
Some people say that this drama is a modern Cinderella story, and she deserves such an excellent, independent and intelligent girl. I just want to say that just because she deserves it doesn't mean she can. There won't be such cases in reality... Does anyone dare to think about the next part of the movie that is not played?
First of all, as American girls in a democratic and free culture, can girls accept that women in Eastern culture are prepared to make sacrifices and sacrifices for small families and even the entire family? She only has love in her heart now. At the sweetest time, she may be willing to quit her job at New York University and move to Singapore for her boyfriend. When she understands her mother and the whole family more and more, there may be times when she has to be wronged, and when she bids farewell to her ideal and future, will she have no complaints in her heart? Secondly, the man's family and social circle will constantly force her to change, abandon her original self, and gradually change her identity to "the daughter-in-law of the Yang family". Can she accept it? When his family must have her have a son, can she accept it? How long can she endure for love...
I admire the male protagonist very much, because he dares to express his opinion, which is very manly, no wonder the female protagonist likes him. Some people may think that for a boy who has never suffered since childhood, it may be because he does not know what he has to face, and some people say it is naive. But I think, dare to declare, this is a very man's attitude, this kind of attitude will make women feel very secure. Many people don't realize how precious this is. I guess most people will create a soulful character, but complain about reality and break up in tears. Or find a way to blame the woman. For example, he will not admit the harm his family has brought to the woman like the man, and apologize for his family. Some boys may bite back. Moral kidnapping says that the woman is doing it, asking the woman to understand her family. If she doesn't understand, she doesn't love herself. But this male protagonist has a sense of responsibility for his relationship and decides to take it. He knows what he wants, is firm, and is willing to pay a huge price. This is the basic attitude of a man who can be trusted by a woman.
When the heroine left angrily, the hero did not flinch, and chose to express his position immediately, propose marriage, and discuss future plans. This also gave the heroine's affirmation of love, so the heroine approached his mother's mahjong parlor to interview the scene.
Just like Gu Ershu's attitude in Zhiwuli, I just want her to do everything possible to overcome all difficulties. Such a man is worthy of Minglan: If you move forward, I will move forward.
Is there such a man? Must have. much? Rare.
So is the heroine right for the affection of the hero? A textbook example! The part where the heroine and the heroine's mother play mahjong in the film is too classic. His mother said that in our oriental culture, we are willing to make sacrifices for our family and collectively. You are not our "own person", you are a banana person , unable to understand the level of oriental culture, so no. The hostess got the card that can be cheated and said, he has already proposed to me, and then quietly put the card that can be cheated back on the table, saying, but I rejected him, the hero's mother picked it up. Zhang folded the card and then flunked, she went on to say, do you know why I rejected his proposal, because I didn't want him to lose your mother and his family. In this part, the subtext I understand is that the heroine is showing that she is "my own person", that she is willing to sacrifice her love to fulfill him, and she has proved it with actions, and then the heroine shows her card and tells the male protagonist's mother , I do not have to give up, but I am as willing to sacrifice for his happiness as you are.
Speaking of the male protagonist's sister, Miss Bai Fumei, and her husband, there are many people who hold injustice for the young lady. This also caused me to feel that the tragedy of Miss Bai Fumei is in line with human nature. The reality is that very few men can accept that their wives are better than themselves. It's not that they don't love their wives, but the surrounding environment will put a lot of pressure on them. For example, you look as beautiful as Lin Zhiling's sister, with a background of Ivan Card Trump family background, even if you only have one, then when you find an ordinary white-collar husband, think about what he will experience because of you, yes, you really love each other, you know how lovely his soul is, he How charming and capable, but these do not prevent his colleagues from mocking him, how can you find a girl like your wife (subtext: how can you be?) Or, you must be quite rich, right? (Doesn't admit his own charm) Or even if he succeeds by his own ability, there will still be many people talking behind his back: Xiaobailian, he came from his wife's family... At this time, his dignity has nowhere to be placed, and a little bit of the wife's troubles Both will stimulate his shaky self-esteem, and your very presence is hurting his self-esteem. There are a few boys who have resisted the pressure when all the environments are oppressive. Wouldn't his love be twisted into a strange hatred in the long-term grievance? Of course, I'm not saying this to exonerate the men, I'm just saying that the film is very intuitive and really shows that. And this is human nature. Maybe some men can really resist, but for a girl, is the stake too high?
Back to reality, the right match is important here. Traditional culture may seem old-fashioned, but it is not entirely unreasonable. The film looks like a fairy tale ending, but it reflects all reality.
