(A-) In my opinion, the biggest advantage of the film is that it has created various types of Asians from different cultural backgrounds, classes, and eras through a "meeting mother-in-law" journey in a foreign country. This is all in the history of Hollywood movies. unprecedented. Generally, there is at most one yellow skin in Hollywood movies, either a nerd or a scientist. In this film, whether it is the first and second-generation immigrants who are working overseas, Asian rich, rich second-generation, Cinderella, or homosexuals, you can find representatives in it! And it also showed the local customs of Singapore by the way. The patriots were stunned by the food, luxury houses, luxurious parties, and weddings, and the details of the process of playing mahjong and making dumplings were displayed, which respected the oriental culture. I think that most foreign audiences watch this film as a popular tourism science film, and they are surprised and curious. And Asians at home and abroad can see their stories on the big screen for the first time, shocking foreigners, which is also very crooked. . .
The most memorable live reactions during the two movie viewings were mostly concentrated in these places: 1) At the beginning Michelle Yeoh slapped the British hotel manager who discriminated against her. 2) Gemma Chan's role at the end of the film is a declaration of women's awakening and autonomy. (Various applause) 3) The nouveau riche in Duncan’s performance said to his children in the magnificent dining room full of delicious food: "Don’t waste food, many people in the United States are hungry!" (Foreign audiences all nod frequently and say yes ) 4) "Oh my god" one after another in the wedding movie theater 5) The heroine's sigh when she arrived at the Singapore airport (just like when the Beijing airport was built, the Americans have never seen such a big airport!) 6) There is also Every time the character of awkwafina appeared, it caused a lot of laughter, and when she opened the trunk and took out three sets of dresses for different occasions, she always heard someone in the theater say: "This is a good idea! I will do it again!" 7) At the beginning of the film, various social networks quickly spread the new love affair of the rich second generation. The speed surprised many foreigners, but it will definitely remind Chinese audiences of the national husband XX. . .
The main line of the story is indeed not very new, that is, Cinderella pays her respects to the future mother-in-law, and it is obvious that she will be rejected by all kinds of things. The use of comedy elements is also more traditional. But there are so many things to watch, it is definitely a seductive movie that I want to watch again after watching it. The discussion of family, marriage, and self-pursuit in the film is also a topic that will resonate all over the world.
If they can choose, Asians may also want to help them be proud of a superhero movie. But unfortunately, this important task fell on the shoulders of this ironic romantic comedy.
In fact, this is not only a romantic comedy, but also a family movie, and "Black Panther" is not only a superhero movie, and its core is still family. Both movies show national culture through entanglements inside and outside the family, and there is not much difference in essence. "Black Panther" describes a wealthy fictitious African country. Because of the wealth of wealth, Wakanda has the possibility of becoming strong, and every African audience is proud to see it. The film also shows the difference between native Africans and African Americans, which is actually the same as "Golden Romance".
Finally, this film really captures the outstanding and well-known Asian actors currently active all over the world, truly globalization and breaking the inherent limitations. Please do not think that this is a movie aimed at the rich in China. It is really about Asians all over the world are still very inclusive and diverse. Therefore, I also hope that the audience watching it with an open mind, understand the big concept of Asians, and the different concepts of Asians who grow up in different backgrounds, and understand the social significance of this movie.
PS: I really look forward to this film allowing Romantic Comedy to make a comeback
