This is our love, it has nothing to do with face

When I saw the wedding in "Face" , I clearly knew: I LOVE IT.

The dialogue that appeared twice, once was Zhou saying to a woman: Young girls dare not ask for it, today she said she loves you, tomorrow, WHO KNOWS; once is a woman Said to her daughter Xiaowei: Xiaoyun is so young, today he said he loves me, tomorrow, who knows.

A woman fell in love with a young man who was at least 20 years younger than her and had a baby. And Xiaowei is a lesbian. But they can't live by their own will, their roles are too embarrassing in this society, they are careful, just for the sake of others' face.

Women for the father's face. Xiaowei is for the woman's face.

And it's a comedy. There is a comedy ending. The death of Xiaowei's grandmother is a turning point in the fate of the two. At this time, the woman's father is exhausted physically and mentally, and everything he has built over the years is on the verge of collapse, but he has repeatedly defended his face and let the woman marry Zhou, who she does not love. . And this wedding, it was the mother and daughter who began to face up to their own fuse.

The woman's friends are friendly to the woman on the surface, but because the woman's father is highly respected, they stick to the old rules, and they never dare or refuse to violate them. Naturally, they also dislike the free way of life of women. In their eyes, homosexual love, love across the age gap, extramarital affairs, and out-of-wedlock childbirth are all taboos and absolutely unacceptable. They are the representatives of this secular world, and they also represent the Chinese people who love face. In that free country, the pursuit of love and freedom is not a shameful thing, but precisely because they follow the rules, although they live abroad, they can only live in Chinese living in circles, playing mahjong, dancing. For them, living abroad is just a matter of face, not real life.

The big black man, the woman, and Xiao Wei, who love to watch romantic dramas and like to make face masks, are sitting on the sofa watching romantic dramas and crying when they see them. Chen Chong is really wonderful in this drama, maybe it has something to do with her own character, a middle-aged woman still maintains the shy and cute girly, in stark contrast to her strong and capable daughter like a man. She makes no secret of her anger towards the bad guys in the TV series, and occasionally she can't help but secretly watch pornographic films. Originally under the coercion of her father, her unrestrained character and her fanatical pursuit of love were repeatedly repressed. In the end, when the man who loved her finally swelled up When she had the courage to say she loved her in front of everyone, she finally began to be herself. Originally, she was extremely opposed to her daughter falling in love with a girl, but when all the cover of face disappeared, she readily accepted VIVIAN, whom her daughter loved.

And Xiaowei, love, did not dare to say. VIVIAN asked her when she left: KISS ME, RIGHT HERE AND FROM ALL THESE PEOPLE. Xiaowei hesitated, she was not frank enough about her love, VIVIAN left with a wry smile. In the end, they finally met at the dance. At this time, Xiao Wei no longer concealed it, she went straight to VIVIAN and asked her to dance.

There was a very witty scene at the final dance, VIVIAN and Xiaowei started dancing, and everyone present looked at them with contempt and incredible expressions, the woman's father's friend patted his father's shoulder jokingly, while the woman's father shook his head in disgust open him.
And at the banquet where they were, happy lovers were dancing in pairs, and Xiaowei and VIVIAN kissed among the lovers.

They bravely confront the world and pursue the happiness that truly belongs to them, not for anyone's face.

PS: "Face" was downloaded from eDonkey, without subtitles, and many of the English in it can't be heard, but roughly guessed the meaning from the plot. Quite a wonderful movie.

    6/10. Specially emphasized the image of Chinese medicine. Lao Yu prepared Xiaowei's mother with Chinese medicine to replenish her body, but the love letter that Xiaoyu put inside could cure her mother's heart disease. Grandpa played Tai Chi and occupied the black court, and his mother mocked the black people for eating soy sauce and eating black. To overcome the cultural isolation of the older generation; the A-film recreational desires for white consumption and yellow females are rented, and the blind date party becomes a gay tryst, symbolizing the Chinese women who play a passive role in controlling themselves sexually.
