The male protagonist Eddie is a small actor with little information. The praise in the play is really vivid, and every time he sees him, he can be happy for a long time.
The mother is played by Constance Wu, born in Richmond, Funegia, in 1982. At the age of 16, he went to study acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York (where Angelina Jolie also graduated). Therefore, the accents in the play were developed under the guidance of two professional language teachers. Wu also said in the interview that he began to relearn pronunciation and intonation like a student. If you don't believe me, if you hear her say "Xiaolongbao", you will know that she must be a girl who can't speak Chinese. Almost all native English speakers can't pronounce X (the west of a watermelon) well, just like Japanese people can't pronounce R, because they don't have it in their own language!
Dad Randall Park is the actor who played the three fat people in the famous The Interview a while ago. He is also a native American, but with an Asian face, the roles of China, Japan and South Korea can be won!
The whole story is set from 20 years ago, Eddie was dragged from DC by his parents to live in Orlando. All of this is because of my father's American dream. My father hopes to make their family's life not only OK, but better. But the new environment makes Eddie extremely uncomfortable. For children, if they are not accepted in school, then all life will be a mess. On the first day of school, Eddie was disliked by American children because of the Chinese noodles he brought. The next day, he would rather throw away his lunch hungry than take it to school. Next, he had a fight with a black child. Probably the black child saw the yellow-skinned Eddie and thought that he could finally turn over and call the shots, so he provocatively told Eddie that he was the bottom of the school, and called out insults like Chink. Of course, our Eddie didn't hesitate to get into a fight with him and was called a parent. But what is gratifying is that the parents stood firmly on Eddie's side and sought justice for Eddie.
Not only Eddie, but also mother Jessica, is trying to integrate into America. I mingle with the boring female neighbors, and I don't even dare to get too close to my new friend, Honey, for fear of affecting my image and my husband's business. There is also father Louis, who opened a fake Golden Saddle but firmly refused to admit it, and insisted on making his own characteristics. In order to make the restaurant look authentic, he specially invited a white man to be the manager, and even shot a silly advertisement, trying to convince people with virtue, cute and cute.
In fact, I have heard people talk about the difficulty of immigration more than once. It is not that it is difficult to go out, but that it is difficult to integrate after going out. The mainstream society will not accept you at all, and in the end you will hang out with the natives who go out. There is so much sadness in the whole movie, and a lot of sadness. But the family seems to have never given up, constantly resisting injustice and discrimination, resolving conflicts in their own way, and proving time and time again that the American dream can be realized.
There are many laughs in the film. For example, when the mother learned that the younger son was intolerant of the cheese given by his classmates, he thought it was because the child's body was resisting American food and felt proud; the second son and Eddie were completely different from the enemy at school, almost the same. Hug left and right, the girl even took the initiative to bring him drinks; the principal seriously warned the parents that a criminal had recently distributed drugs to the child, but the tiger mother asked when the report card would be issued; the son got all A's, and the mother ran to the school to tell the principal Saying that the course is too simple and asking to change the course... I admit, some of these jokes are very sad, but this is real life. Eddie said in the interview that he did not want to represent all Asians, but in fact, their family is indeed a true portrayal of some people, but maybe their family is more positive and healthy.
In a word, this is a very warm drama. No matter how many thorns a rose has, it is still a rose, isn't it?
