Joy comes after sorrow, like morning after night

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.

Women must have their own sense of independence, be clear about their own values, and be neither humble nor arrogant

Four actresses with superb acting skills

"Too real"

Amei - Gentle Endorsement

Yingying, a young Yingying who was mistaken for a life by a scumbag, is pure and lovely

I felt like I was crying when I saw this, I really feel sorry for this child, such a cute baby drowned like this

Here Yu Feihong's acting skills are really outstanding, his eyes are too dramatic: hatred, sadness, helplessness, indifference, love and pity, reluctance

Single eyelid can also be so charming

At the beginning, I thought Waverly was really good-looking and very aura. After I heard that she was a Japanese actor, I found that she really had the taste of an actress from that era in Japan.

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.
