Just don't tell her

Billy's uncle Haibin told her that there are cultural differences between the East and the West. Orientals regard life as a collective. The reason why they don't tell Grandma the truth is to share her ideological pressure.

At the wedding scene, Haibin stood on the stage full of tears and said how grateful he was to his mother that all his achievements were her credit, and then bowed deeply. The object of expression is his mother, and it has nothing to do with everyone here. I don't know what to do.

"Don't Tell Her" can only be said to be ok. The director wanted to express the difference between Chinese and Western cultures. Families scattered in Japan and the United States got together because of an unknown wedding. Billie flew back to China without telling her parents, and she was the only one struggling. , it ended with Bili's compromise, the story was average, the story was average, and the flattery at the front desk of the hotel, the scene of several men and several women playing mahjong appeared inexplicably, what "he's your dad, you can't control him" , a variety of shots that I find more embarrassing.

Does grandma really know nothing? I think it's difficult, why doesn't she understand her own child? It can only be said that time and space made her ignore a lot, and the big reunion moment that was taking place, the lively atmosphere and various matters of arranging the wedding made her have no time to take care of other things.

The Farewell quotes

  • 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.
