After watching it from beginning to end, only two times the corners of my eyes were slightly wet. The film really moved forward lightly and at a very comfortable speed. I like this kind of daring to talk about it. A domestic worker who has devoted his whole life to taking care of the family for several generations, his original position has already surpassed the existence of the employment relationship of master and servant. He must be strong, careful, cook well, and do his best. The elderly who have served for several generations deserve the position of relatives, so the relationship between relatives has long existed beyond blood, and the most important thing is to live and spend time together. In fact, the relationship between the two people in the plot is forced to be a family relationship, and it is a little superfluous to think about it. People say that dramas should have contradictions and conflicts, and the more intense the conflict, the better the story, but this kind of exceptional story, where everyone and every character relationship has gone so smoothly, isn't it still beautiful? It can be seen that the aesthetics that conform to the rules will be tired sooner or later. Nostalgia has always made people sad, and watching a person go from illness to death is equally uncomfortable. This film is so lightly sad and soaked in a little warmth. Usually, the place where you cry when watching a movie is before a person dies, and the people around him are infinite. I miss the episodes of falling in love with him. This film doesn't play this kind of old bridge, just speaking from the mouths of others and bringing out more or less small fragments from those nostalgic old objects, it has the same effect. The film didn't make a big point. In the end, the uncle who asked for money and shampoo sister sent a small bouquet of white flowers to let the film end so plainly.
I haven’t watched many movies. Recently, I was particularly impressed by the two films that appeared to marginalized people. One was “Fried Rice” and the other was “Sister Peach.” , Sister Tao glanced at the old people's home. These two kinds of environments that make the public panic and think that they are too perverted or too miserable. People living in the moral gap are actually very normal, and they can live very normal, frankly. Candid and not arrogant. Although it makes me feel that it is a good system to keep them honest, lesbians can go to the streets for their rights, and although the cost of nursing homes is high, the government has subsidies, and there is no need to worry that when they grow old without children, no family members, they will freeze to death on the streets. Hong Kong movies always surreptitiously promote the superiority of the system, hehe.
PS, there is a small plot that I feel has no tail. Sister Tao asked Miss Cai about your family. Miss Cai did not speak. This plot is trying to say something.
What kind of relatives is Erwen in Andy Lau's family? What does it do to show up?
In addition, I really want to watch the Cantonese version, except that Wang Fuli and Qin Hailu are very comfortable speaking their native language, and whether elder sister Ye Dexian and elder brother Dehua's Chinese are dubbed or spoken by themselves, it tickles your back.
