The beginning of the film is a bit depressing. When all relatives knew that the old man in the family, the grandmother in the film, was sick, they endured the pain. She also showed a very happy look in front of her grandmother. Everyone pretended to be confused, covered up all the sadness, and decided to weave a white lie for grandma to spend the rest of her life together. At this moment, time is the most important thing. When everyone learned that the old man was sick, they all rushed back from other places. In order to allow all their relatives to see the grandmother for the last time, they decided to use a fake wedding to deceive the grandmother. When the grandmother saw each relative happily, she had a happy smile on her face, but they were often behind her back. They were all crying bitterly, but the grandmother didn't know the purpose of the wedding. Before that, she went to the grave of her late wife, happily sharing the joy with her, and seriously said that she wanted her to bless her. The children's future work should be smooth, and the family should be happy. It all seemed so depressing. The film is a comedy that reflects the different values and ideas brought about by the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. From their diets, their living customs and the differences in their language expressions, they all become the funny part of the play. But although it is a comedy, there is also a hint of depression in the happy process. Many of the shots during the film look so sentimental. Grandma always thought that her illness was not that serious, and she was still optimistic about the people around her. One of the clips in the film is that when Bili and her grandmother drove from the cemetery back to the small yard where she used to live, Bili wanted to look back at the place where she once lived, but her grandmother refused. She said that the buildings and houses in the past have long been demolished, and even the grandmother can't recognize it, and it has long since ceased to exist. Seeing this, I believe that most people think of grandma's illness. Because of grandma's illness, grandma, like that small yard, may be "tear down and cease to exist" at any time. In fact, this will bring a little sentimentality to the audience, because grandma doesn't know her own condition, so he can easily say this sentence. But it is more so-called that the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention. We all think of another aspect of this phrase's existence. So this is a clip that hits our tears.
