The film focuses on the stories of four Chinese mothers and daughters in the 1950s, with English dialogue and a Hollywood perspective. I saw some short reviews, some good and some bad, with different positions and different angles. Although it tells the story of immigrant Chinese, the past of the four mothers is indeed rooted in the Republic of China period when the feudal ethics and the enlightened West were blended at that time. The tragic and unfortunate experiences of the four mothers are deeply imprinted in their characters, and have also affected the thinking, behavior, character and marriage of their daughters. To be honest, the whole film is a little depressing, and it comes slowly, but it has many moments of heartbreak. The misery and misfortune of women in the Republic of China period in the last century is still bloody displayed in front of my eyes. I don’t think it is extreme. is true. (Although the story of the mother of a little girl in the middle is somewhat unconvincing, it is still a good thing.) Their pain continues on their daughter, a scar that will never heal. But on the other hand, although their mothers suffered injustice, they resisted in their own ways and never gave in. This was also their mother's expectation and hope for their daughters. Confrontation, but also finally opened up. On the other hand, it also reflects the Chinese-style parent-child relationship, but with a Hollywood-style interpretation and reconciliation. So despite the pain, she never gave in and gave up, never gave up her thinking and independence as a woman, and despite the difficulties, there is still hope. There are a lot of things I want to tell, but it may not be finished, but this does not prevent it from being a movie worth thinking about. It tells about the plight and confrontation of Asian women in that era, the thinking about the relationship between mother and daughter, and all kinds of things.
