Movies with a strong impact at once often have too much content, the audience can't fully digest them all at once, and leave a lasting impression, but in retrospect, it leaves people with a "good-looking, good-looking, especially good-looking" feeling. Maybe a movie adapted from a book will have this kind of problem: I want to eat a fat man in one bite; and the narrative method is relatively bland, and the same method is used repeatedly to shoot, which makes people feel like they can guess the ending at once.
But the film itself also has something worth pondering about. The Chinese English in the film is quite charming, and there are Asian faces that are very oriental and pleasing to the eye. The soundtrack is also full of sense of age, which can easily bring people's emotions into it. And produce the feeling of time and space flipping.
The concepts expressed are many and profound, such as the tragic fate of women under the feudal system; "Chinese-style" parents, which have been talked about a lot since ancient times; racism.
After watching this movie, I suddenly thought of why overseas Chinese live abroad for a long time, and some traditional customs or cultures can be more carried forward and developed by them. Like my aunt, their family has moved overseas for many years, but the family has always maintained the habit of speaking their native dialect (dialect). Probably because the more uprooted people are, the more they will cherish them.
It is recommended to read the original book, the feeling will be more profound, and the understanding of some phenomena and concepts will be more in place. I still know too little about it.
The twilight will come, and the bitterness will always be sweet.
