It is quite satisfactory, with real and touching details, as well as parts that are inconsistent with us in the East. The feature of the Chinese director's work is that although the film is about the life and stories of the East, and it is indeed an adaptation of his own experience, the Western way of thinking And the perspective will still be revealed naturally. In addition, the acceptance of Eastern values and the dominance of Western thinking make the expression lack of "advance with the times" fluidity... Although it is a sad story background, there is no lack of humorous expression in the presentation. For example, the scene of going to the grave and the scenes like wedding games and social gatherings, the director did not make a rough and distinct contrast in the expression of the boundaries of life and death, but mixed them together to show them more real. When the family went to the grave, the family was busy preparing, and grandma was talking about asking grandpa to bless the size. Hou Haohao's tears also reflected the repressed pain of a group of relatives who knew it. The acting skills of the actors are still relatively real and natural, especially the grandma and Billy, the morning exercise together, the conversation and hug at the end and other opposing scenes are very rich and moving. The most fortunate thing is that the director did not praise or criticize when showing the two values. Instead, it is relatively unbiased to show the understanding and reflection of two completely different values from the perspective of different characters, leaving the audience to think about the emotional fetters and resonance of the characters. The end shows the follow-up of the director's own experience, which is more warm and moving.
