The content of the story is vulgar, and the ugly duckling turns into a white swan. It seems that with the blessing of the independent struggle of the American spirit, Mary Sue is no longer Mary Sue; the superficial stereotype that treats all cultures equally, in the West, there are people who have no family , Yan Dongfang has a family and no individual; ignorant, a family of three generations, some speak Mandarin, some speak Hokkien, some speak Cantonese, some speak English, and finally say that you are not your own, so many yuan and so conservative, So divisive. These sci-fi content can only make people suspect that this novel is the author or screenwriter who combined some hearsay content with his own imagination. When an all-Asian film doesn't tell an Asian story, what's there to cheer about in an all-Asian cast? This all-Asian Hollywood movie seems to be more segregation than progress, these ridiculous schizophrenics who are both old-fashioned and corrupt, and naive and happy protagonists, of course, let Asians It is more appropriate to act. Maybe Hollywood has tried its best not to discriminate, so it's okay to hold it, but it just can't treat everyone as an ordinary, flesh-and-blood person. When Hollywood Asian-American actors can act on the basis of their acting skills rather than their skin color, or when they can cast films that touch human commonality beyond race, that's a progress worth celebrating.

    The opening quote "Napoleon described China as a sleeping lion" is actually an unbeautiful falsehood. According to Yang Ruisong's research, what Napoleon said was never "sleeping lion" but "sleeping", describing the backwardness of the Qing state as if it was sleeping, destined to be surpassed by the active countries in the Far West; Wu Shi Bao took this statement and used it in his English report, and Liang Rengong took Zeng's report and used it in his Chinese paper. Fang added the word "lion" for the first time, but the context was Lao lion: a head is about to be delivered A slaughtered beast. The question is, a Western slander with such a negative allusion, but after skipping a few folds in the middle and pointing directly at Napoleon, it has become a catchy gilded chant by the Chinese. Why? If you understand this answer, you can understand what role this film played when it came out today in 2018.

    This is a film based on a Singaporean novel based on himself, and strives to faithfully reflect the living conditions of Singapore Chinese old money and new money. In addition to the setting that the heroine's mother is an immigrant from mainland China, such a movie that has nothing to do with China in terms of plot and characters, is positioned as a story that reflects the Chinese people and Chinese culture by default, and then I feel that it appears. In terms of deviation and displacement, it is probably not the movie that is dislocated, but us as the audience. The mentality behind it is also worth pondering. Are we too arrogant or too inferior?
