1. The novel is very good
2. How good is Miao Qianren's husband as a director?
Potentially, as well, the Chinese have watched a few foreign films (meaning, face) and have never been disappointed.
The novel itself is very attractive to a person who likes to read stories. The four women, the bumps in childhood, and the stability in a foreign country in old age make the story more legendary. The relationship with the daughters from the conflict in their youth to the understanding of the daughters after experiencing setbacks as adults makes the tenacity and persistence of the four women more obvious.
I remember the most clearly when one of the daughters married a husband who cared about each other, and the expenses had to be shared equally. The husband never knew that she didn’t like red ice cream, he bought it home, he ate it all, she paid half, and the grievance finally came to the mother. The coming day broke out. Mother asked: What do you want from him? Daughter said: equality and respect. Mother said: Then ask him to be firm. If he doesn't give it to you, you never come back.
Having suffered Chinese-style ordeals, they hoped that their daughters would excel in the rich land of the United States, and their daughters had experienced American-style education, and their thoughts and behaviors were no different from those of Americans. The conflict between the two cultures was minute by minute in their lives Both are reflected, and in the final analysis, the Chinese genes have allowed the daughters to reach reconciliation and understanding with their mothers after experiencing American-style setbacks.
The actors are all very skilled, most of them are Chinese who have lived in the United States for a long time, or abc, which is what I judge from the accent. The actor who plays the mother is very similar when he was a child and when he grows up, but he plays the daughter, and his appearance is very different. For example, the chess champion, when he was a child, had black skin with double eyelids, but when he grew up, he became white skin with single eyelids. But it doesn't matter, their acting skills are enough to make up for it.
Whether it's a Chinese title or an English title, there are both joy and luck. After reading the whole story, you will feel that both joy and luck are built in misfortune and adversity. Every mother and daughter are looking for themselves. There is very little luck, and tenacity and never disappointment are the driving force behind changing lives.
2 hours and 20 minutes of film, you can't stop watching it, just like a book, although it can't cover all aspects of the book, but the essence has come out. It has received a lot of praise from the industry, and it is well-deserved.
