I watched a lot of films this weekend, and I only had the urge to say this, probably because the criticism outweighed the praise, or the expectations were too disappointing. This may be a Chinese movie, but the theme is still American universal values. The American Dream does not say it outright, but between the lines is the sense of superiority of immigrating to the United States; all three women with unfortunate backgrounds have families, children, and freedom and equality in the United States. The source of this happiness is not their quality as Chinese, their living habits and attitudes are already American. Perhaps only Joy Luck Clubs and comparisons still have ancient customs. When I saw this, I was thinking, as immigrant Chinese, can we still call them "Chinese" after they are accustomed to the way of life and context in foreign countries, and after they are accustomed to communicating in non-Chinese in daily life? Especially second-generation immigrants, they don't even speak Chinese anymore. Hollywood This is a typical Hollywood commercial warmth film, and the audience it faces is definitely not mainland Chinese. It's weird to see the yellow-skinned people in the film recite their lines in broken Chinese.
The four stories are different, and they are mostly the reconciliation and spiritual inheritance of mother and daughter. Perhaps due to space limitations, the four stories are oversimplified, and there is a suspicion of ignoring details in advancing the plot. What impressed me the most was the daughter's "get out my house" to her husband after listening to her mother's persuasion. laughing out loud. Yu Feihong's best part is the part about eating melons. Yu's "fart" is so charming! I watched this movie because of Yu's interview in "Thirteen Invitation", but it's a pity that she has so little space.
