It turns out that love is really gender-neutral. Although I am a pure heterosexual, I still feel really good when I see the temptation, provocation, teasing, and refusal and welcome between Xiaowei and Vivian in the movie. good.
Probably this is because all love, true love, pure love, regardless of gender, has that momentary throbbing that goes straight to the heart.
First of all, from the character setting, Xiaowei, Vivian, mother, grandparents, and a group of relatives and friends are all typical characters.
When I saw Xiaowei's mother was pregnant and several old friends from Chinatown were sitting around discussing "whose species?", I was a little surprised. This movie is probably from 2004. Even if the Chinese people in 2004 were in the United States, they were Chinese after all, and they were the second generation of immigrants at the earliest.
Probably like "Pushing Hand", it's another American-made Chinese-inspired movie aimed primarily at Western audiences.
The film gave me a sense of familiarity, and it really had the feeling of Ang Lee's early works.
The second is the plot.
When it comes to the plot, a qualified movie basically has everything that a qualified movie should have. As for surprises, it seems that there are none, so in terms of plot, it is quite satisfactory.
Third, the lines.
The lines are generally good, but as mentioned in the first point, some parts are too deliberately "sinicized", which is inevitably lost.
Fourth, the actor's performance.
Overall ok, the heroine Xiaowei is also the director of this movie. I don't know what her background is, but her acting skills are really natural, as if she is Xiaowei Benwei.
It's so natural, especially in the movie, when Vivian takes the initiative to attack, the green and shy feeling she shows makes me seem to see what we looked like when we first fell in love.
When making this movie, the director should be similar to the setting in the movie. At the age of 28, it is really amazing that a 28-year-old can still act that kind of shyness, although it seems a bit unreasonable, after all Xiaowei is not her first love.
The last is the way of service.
There's nothing special to talk about, and it's pretty decent.
Overall, this is a decent movie. It's not particularly brilliant, but it's not bad. If there was no Ang Lee before this, maybe it would stand out, but Zhuyu would inevitably be overwhelmed.
But what is the reason why he can still be pulled out of a bunch of movies?
A very average movie that meets all the standards, plus it expresses the difficulty of gay people falling in love in the face of such a conservative group of Chinese, maybe the sum of these adds up to make it a little bit different. The reason why.
