Maybe I'm wrong. I'm still a primary school student in movies. Everyone is a god. I can only say what I saw and share with you.
1. The conflict between Chinese and Western cultures: the individual outlook on life in the West and the collective outlook on life in China
2. I think grandma is a grandma who knows her condition. Although she doesn't understand English, she can get answers from other people's expressions after living so long ... While everyone is hiding from my grandma, why is my grandmother hiding it from everyone? Everyone is afraid of bringing fear to my grandma, but my grandma is afraid that everyone is worried that she will be under pressure to accomplish everything that everyone does. In the beginning, it was a last word.
3. The meaning of the bird: bad things Billy's "ha" when she straightens her waist at the end means breaking the inner depression and finally relaxing the audience's depressed nerves.
4. Sweeping grandpa's grave is very real and reflects the Chinese people's view of life. The collective view of life is very relaxed.
5. Many friends say that Bili is very stupid and stupid. Many problems cannot be found. I think this may be caused by different ways of thinking, but it does not affect the expression of feelings. The help that was concealed until the end, the heart-wrenching hug at the end, and the grandfather's smoking outside the window at night all reflect the delicate feelings of Billie's character
6. The mother's feeling brings out some unique contradictions in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Some viewers especially feel that grandma is a very controlling character. The mother doesn't like her, but it does not affect the mother's feelings for her (I suddenly remembered my mother and my grandmother. )
7. The uncle is not a very talkative person. He is very clear that he is the eldest son of the family and has many responsibilities that he cannot shirk. During the part where he smoked with his father, he said to Billie: "You don't care about him. He is your dad. You shouldn't care about him." It is more important to highlight that "understanding" is more important than "being good to him". The uncle feels that he will owe his mother a lot as the eldest son. He is also the calm one in the whole story.
8. My aunt finally said to go to my uncle, "Beware of me worrying about me, isn't it good?" Why is it that the old man wants to be around everyone who is busy
In short, the film is intertwined with all kinds of white lies, family relationships, and of course the mother's last words. I like that this film is quiet and quiet without too many complicated things to let you feel the characters, the story, the culture, and the culture. What the director expressed.
You can criticize you can say that the director doesn't understand the real Chinese culture and is superficial but you can't say it's not a good work
In the end, I hope the director can produce more good works.
