The first Hollywood film with an all-Asian cast after Crazy Rich Asian has been mentioned a few times. Decided to look for it. At first, I saw that June was forced to practice the piano. Later, the little girl's mother was very picky about chess. The little girl gave up chess in order to get angry with her mother. After that, her self-esteem was knocked down. I can't stand watching two mothers play with their rights over their daughters. For me with a strong mother, these scenes are all very, very familiar to me. I think this film mainly discusses the parent-child relationship, especially the mother-daughter relationship, the relationship between women and women. There are mothers who want to borrow their daughters to fulfill their dreams, and there are mothers who hope that their daughters will not repeat their unhappy marriages. There is a hidden female rivalry between a mother, her female friends, and even her daughter. The second thing is to talk about the torn between the values instilled by the parents and the local values that the second-generation immigrants grew up with. I don't think values should be divided by region, such as Eastern and Western values. The East is conservative and the West is open. The mother who runs the publishing house in the play doesn't think her son should marry a foreigner. Isn't this conservative? The United States also has different values of openness because of different religious beliefs and races. The post-90s generation in China is more inclined to self-realization and more and more women dare to challenge traditional values and so on. I see the tear between one generation and the next in this film, and that tear is always there.
