Movies that show the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures often choose homosexual themes. In fact, I don’t think this is the place where the conflict between the two is the most intense. In fact, Chinese people are quite tolerant of homosexuality, and we can see that by looking at history. Of course, the original intention of the director of "Face" may not be entirely here, the more important thing is that she herself is les and after a long time, she finally got her mother's understanding.
In the film, the vain love of the Chinese people and the indifference to the misfortune of others have quite profound and funny depictions, such as those aunts who speak Shanghai dialect; there are also kind people living in such an environment, because of the face (Not because of vanity, but because no one has been brave enough to break free, so they are timid) and people who live quite hard, such as wil. In fact, she fully hoped that Vivian would stay, but she didn't say a word of retention until she ran to intercept the plane. I even think this is really too real, just too timid and not confident that two people are happier together than pursuing fame; I feel that people should pursue success, and letting the other party succeed is the best way to love her. This is the Chinese introverted, with a very subtle and deep taste.
Both girls act very well, especially they are both straight but they can act so naturally. Especially wil, with slightly stooped back, neutral casual clothes, hands in pockets, hot and flamboyant when walking, lazy to change pajamas when sleeping, eyebrows and eyes when smoking, embarrassed expression when being seduced by vivian is really a typical example The image of the little T, Michelle is really talented and grasps it very well. Chen Chongyan's mother is very skillful and excellent. Another highlight is that the director found a bunch of interesting men out of nowhere to give Gao's mother a blind date, haha.
The ending was a happy one, a little unbelievable, but still very happy. In fact, it’s not bad. It also shows that face is purely a cocoon, and you take it very seriously, but in fact, the “face supervision” of the Chinese people is extremely powerless. Under the power of tradition, the Chinese people do not have the habit of thinking actively on their own. They passively accept a set of traditional concepts to judge others, and immediately attack the behavior that violates the tradition under the support of inertia. In fact, Chinese people are still very Be kind, and after being open and honest, everyone can understand and tolerate. What a fragile face!
I highly recommend Sasha, it's a great movie.
