British and American cultures look forward to harmony

Imitating the movies of the 1980s and 90s, the typical frame structure, the only son in the family who was spoiled by his mother, and a casual American female driver, plus an unruly mother and a wonderful sister, the only bright spot is the old husband Man and Faber housekeeper.

Prom, hunting, unmarried daughter, bankruptcy, almost all the elements. The plot seems a little rushed, and the only memory I have now is the part of sitting on a dead dog. .

Two places to admire:
1. The first scene where Lalita and her husband roll up the fallen leaves while driving, and the scene where she and her husband danced happily, using a very dizzying way of filming, maybe I've seen it before, but it's still very special .
2. The two had sex in the baby room. The camera was finally aimed at a circular mirror, and the picture was slightly deformed, which echoed when the father in law entered the room to comfort Lalita later (the echo is right...), The omen, or rather, the sign of two loves.

In fact, the plot arrangement for Lalita and her husband to elope is bloody, anyway, I think so.

The differences between British and American cultures are very prominent in it, so I doubt whether this is a propaganda film that advocates cultural harmony between the two countries. I was thinking that there are such big differences among Westerners, and I still have to carefully consider the idea of ​​finding a foreigner boyfriend in the future.

That's all.
