Some Problems

A few feelings:
1. The life of the Indian middle class is really moisturizing. I don't know what the real situation is. It is estimated that there are elements of exaggeration and beautification in the movie.
2. India, Japan, Korea all have their own traditional costumes, as well as ancient music, shrines/temples, and these traditions provide the foundation of cultural identity for their young people. In the film, even though Shashi's niece was born in the US and speaks authentic American English, when they put on Sari and danced Indian dance, they still returned to their original culture, experienced a kind of proud joy, and motivated local people. The old beauty dances together, this is not a kind of cultural output. Let’s talk about Japan, although it has been among the developed countries for a long time, but since childhood, extracurricular activities have been to visit various historical sites in the country and accept the influence of its ancient culture. Many young people still go to worship shrines. In contrast, what is left for our so-called 5,000-year-old civilization to provide young people with their own cultural identity? In addition to working like a dog, focusing on modernization and becoming a part of the state machine, the Chinese can neither dance nor sing (except for ethnic minorities), and are restrained in various ways. Thinking about it, there is really no African brothers and sisters living. be happy.
3. During the viewing process, the iconic elements of Hollywood movies flashed from time to time. The scene of the last wedding speech was the most obvious: the family members spoke one by one, which was actually very boring. The people listening below were very moved and stood up to applaud. I don’t know if it was exaggeration or not It is so. Americans' tears and laughter are so low?
4. New York in the eyes of Indians is very good, with all kinds of development, vitality, personality and freedom.
5. Indian mothers do not have the right to educate their children? The children obviously offended her like that, and didn't understand her efforts at all. She couldn't teach her a few words, and could only complain and cry alone? In this family, the mother has the lowest status. Is this a common phenomenon in India or is the film deliberately set for the development of the plot?

    Full of nice, traditional Indian families. but. . . Asan has no high scores.

    It is quite satisfactory, the content is not a breakthrough but substantial, and some details are very well carved. It involves a lot of human nature, family, and social issues, but the director is very smart not to dig deep, because such warm and inspirational sketches should only be "pointed to". (Hong Kong translation of "New York Intensive Reading Tour", is it funny that the monkeys sent it?)
