From the perspective of the heroine Wil, three forms of love are reproduced in the film. The first is the love of grandpa, which is the most traditional Chinese style of love. Old husband and wife, after vicissitudes of life, time has become the witness of their love. The second is the love of a mother. First, she married someone who didn’t love because of her parents’ orders. She was single and almost married someone who didn’t love her again because of her parents’ face. Finally, she chose a true love that was similar to her own daughter’s age under the enlightenment of her daughter. people. The third is the daughter's love, same-sex love, simple and pure, regardless of the obstacles in the traditional genes, and finally living with the woman they love, love is the testimony of their love.
The protagonist of the story is a Chinatown with a strong traditional atmosphere in modern American society. Although it has thousands of rivers and mountains, it still cannot change the heavy and dignified inherited from the far east. If there is no difference between the surrounding environment and language, Just like a traditional small town, it abides by the traditional so-called morality. Under such a culture, any rebellious love will become an anomaly and become the talk of the banquet ball.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the inherent freedom of love, and because freedom itself is interlinked, there is no freedom that belongs to love alone, so since ancient times, love has been guarded against as a subversive force. But precisely because it is too genuinely free, there are often idiots and women (or idiots and men, of course, idiots and men and women and women) trying to resist the invisible tradition.
In traditional China, there are also many heroes and sons and daughters of various resistances, but in a practical sense, none of them seem to have very good consequences. In the end, it is inevitable that the ending will be included in reality, or there is a possibility that with the help of a certain fairy sister, he will achieve a positive result. In general, it seems that it is difficult to escape the tragic ending.
What about changing the environment? This movie asks such a question and gives its answer. In fact, people are just like different leaves. Except for careful observation, they are basically the same, especially when it comes to basic human nature. Even more so now, everyone wants to live with the person they love, regardless of nationality or country, so why not add a beautiful lace border to the ancient and dignified Chinatown?
