One of the most important things about Chinese people is face. This is something that can’t be touched, seen, smelled or smelled in normal days. It seems to be

illusory
, but it hides in the gaps of life all the time. To stick your
head out ,
you need to polish, paint, and decorate. You can't be sloppy
at all, so Chinese people can lose everything, but they can't lose face .

This philosophy of face
constitutes the logic of Saving Facing, but it is not the keynote of the movie

. The selling point of the
storyline The mother of the Chinese widow has a mysterious child and the daughter of the ABC elite doctor is a lesbian. The
two generations of ideology and the cultural conflict between China and the United States are the background. The development factors are enough
. If it is interpreted in a traditional way of sensationalism, it is easy to become popular and become a bitter drama. Sprinkled a handful of dog blood

, but Saving Facing's tone chose very well. It completely follows the light comedy sketch route
. Although the contradiction between mother and daughter in the play is obvious, every time the conflict intensifies,
it can be expressed in a humorous way
without a snot . There is no need to see the emotional part of tears,
but you can smile knowingly

about this. Chen Chong's contribution is not small
at this age. Her freedom is already perfect.

Director Alice Wu is a top student in Stanford Computer Science.
After graduation , she has been working at Microsoft
until she has One day she decided to start making a movie
, so she wrote and directed Saving Face from the perspective of an ABC lesbian. It was
widely acclaimed and
can be said to be her personal ambition.

The movie did not deliberately play down the image of Chinese immigrants in the United States. They are just
a community with their own special values. It
has nothing to do with noble and despicable

.
