Suspended "American Dream"

Immanuel 2022-03-24 09:02:27

The first movie I watched after the lockdown was lifted in 2021 had a sense of suspension.

Although I am also an Asian wandering in a foreign land, I have also crossed the entire city on the subway to buy water spinach that cannot be found in ordinary French supermarkets. There are also many old people in my hometown who help young people who go out to work and bring children. , even "allergic" do not understand. When I was a kid, I used to complain about my grandma having a bad smell.

But as a person who has a little understanding of rural life, many details in the film make people very dramatic. Steven is still tender and tender in the later stages of the film, and he doesn't look like a person who is busy doing farm work every day. Moreover, an old smoker actually has a delicate porcelain tooth, which makes people wonder if he is still the rich second generation who burned the warehouse.

There is no money at home to say that they have to buy water, so there is no need to buy fertilizers and pesticides to grow so many vegetables? The dishes will be overwhelmed by insects. The movie looks a lot like the era of the abuse of fertilizers and pesticides, so beautiful eggplants are not sprayed with pesticides? Thin-skinned Steven and a lunatic don't have modern equipment to grow so many vegetables?

The heroine has a light blue top that looks like a discounted model just bought at HM or Zara. Many of the family's clothes are too modern in color and style, making people wonder what era the movie is about.

Why does Steven want to farm? It feels like the screenwriter wants him to. The fact that he bought a farm to reclaim it is ridiculous. Anyone who has cultivated fields knows that it is too difficult~ If he has cultivated fields in South Korea, he should go to the United States and no longer want to continue cultivation. He will not feel that testing in the factory Chick sex is a chore, much easier than farming. Shouldn't he be thinking about letting his children study hard and get into a good university?

The dream of not many peasants who go to cities to work is to save up money to go home, wrap up the land in the village, and continue farming. Although I immigrated to a foreign country, I still miss the rural life. I usually buy a house with a small courtyard and grow some vegetables in the garden to eat by myself.

The whole movie always seemed to be lit but couldn't burn, and finally the barn was suddenly set on fire, and I felt that the rhythm was generally grasped.

    Steven Yuan comes on stage, vegetable shed shivers

    If it weren't for the latter part of the development too fast, I feel that it will be my top10 this year. The family stories of foreigners and their own cultures in conflict with the United States here, the reconciliation between grandma and grandson and the handling of the delicate relationship between parents touched my heart. It can be said that I have seen a lot of such works this year, and I don't know who is good and who is bad. Emotionally, I feel that "Summer Night of Sister and Brother" touches me even more. Maybe I prefer family movies like Hirowa Kee. Steven Yuan continued to dedicate and burn his acting skills at that time, or the whole work is a little bit like Li Cangdong? But I still feel more like the life dilemma faced by immigrant directors like Wang Peizhi.
