I think Don't Tell Her is an interesting movie. I think the film compares two different cultures. On the one hand, there is Billie, who is a very American-influenced woman, and on the other hand, there is his traditional Chinese family. Billie's family has a complicated situation. I'm American, so I'm touching on billie's thoughts. If my grandma is icy, I'll definitely tell him. However, I still wonder why the Chinese don't want to tell his sick family. I think the Chinese concept of family is very meaningful, and many Americans should adopt this concept. For example, if I'm a sick old man, I don't want until I'm sick. Plus, I feel like Billie's family has common family issues. At the end of the meal, they all argue passively because they all feel that their method is the best. This problem is similar to that of the United States. If you have a lot of family members doing very different things every day, you will definitely disagree.

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.
