real chinese movies

So real. This is what I see in China.

Crying and mourning, family banquets, smiles... Collective, responsibility, concealment, the elements are captured very accurately, not only in simple collages, but extremely delicate and touching my heart.

Everyone at the family banquet thought they were decent but collided with no dignity. When it comes to wealth and children, the direction is often unpleasant. China has a problem, and the US seems to have a problem too. The female protagonist is actually very frank, I don't know why there are still audiences who feel insulted.

Grandma kept adding vegetables to her granddaughter, just like my grandma. He happily brought his granddaughter to boxing, thinking that her voice was out of breath, just like my grandfather. I taught it carefully to the meeting, and said, "So, you can practice by yourself in the United States" (to the effect), just like my grandmother. And that sense of mission in control.

The performance of the families living in Japan enriches the film. Their every move can be seen as overseas Chinese and Japanese. Among them, the eldest son's appearance and words are very similar to the professor of Oriental literature in my school - he also traveled to Japan at the same time. The only grandson's hairstyle is also very real. There is a scene in the movie where everyone goes back to the guest room: the only grandson in China turns back to the Chinese model and goes back to the room alone; the Japanese wife goes back to the room while saying goodbye to her parents after her husband, and at the end she sticks out and waits for her parents to enter the room. close the door. When grandma led the whole family to bow without stopping, the Japanese wife also bowed 30 degrees, while the other Chinese all covered their necks.

The wanderers are sulking, but they are actually very emotional: the second son has a bitter face at the reception banquet, and his grandmother is worried; the eldest son uses the wedding speech to cry out, so that he can "reasonably" vent his pent-up emotions. Only Sun seems to be silent, but in reality it is just a language barrier. When I went to school to sing Japanese songs at the wedding, I was already absent-minded. At the end, I finally burst into tears, even to the extent that my grandmother looked bad when they took a group photo. The granddaughter had a somber expression on her face, no wonder her mother thought that Yi didn't know how to hide her emotions, and even initially refused to allow Yi to go with her. In the end, Yi couldn't help but run away.

However, the granddaughter still said goodbye to her grandmother -- her parents had already fallen asleep in the car at that time.

Therefore, it will be remembered that my mother passed away, and the funeral will be transferred to the house at eight o'clock. Weng looked at the room and said, "Ye Sui, go to sleepy." Look away, it's seven o'clock. After breakfast, I went to Zhai and took a walk in Lake Issy.

Before my grandmother passed away, I didn't even "tell her".

    3.5 As a Chinese American director's work, China under the lens is already closer to our image, but the story, characterization and narration techniques are still slightly old-fashioned, and foreigners may understand the cultural differences inside. With a smile, Chinese-speaking audiences will inevitably feel that they have piled up all kinds of slurs. But it’s still better than sincere feelings, and sincere emotions in the movie will be moving.

    I can't be more angry after watching it. The director doesn't know where the superiority comes from. Please do research before black Chinese people, don't shoot so stereotype! From beginning to end, I was deliberately hypocritical. If I really want to photograph the collision of Chinese and American cultures, please take a good look at it. Don’t shut the door and take it for granted.
