A movie that has psychological expectations even if you haven't seen it, but actually want to watch it mainly for the actor Awkwafina. The film itself is a story that sets suspense and then slowly pushes forward. The audience actually has a certain answer in their hearts. I think it is more intense than this in terms of the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures, or I have seen intense dramas in Angina Lee. Contrasted, but a mild narration for this movie. The director himself just wanted to record this absurd story from a Western point of view, but the Chinese audience probably only saw the real word. The same thing should happen in most Chinese families. After my grandmother got sick, she also emphasized that she must tell her the real results. I believe that most of the audience can resonate and have similar experiences. Older elders will conceal their illness after falling ill, and family members will also conceal their terminal illness when they know about it, and everyone will report good news instead of bad news.
I remember when my sister was in high school abroad, because it was very hot in summer, one day, my parents and grandparents set up a small table in front of the house to eat dinner together, and we chatted happily, but grandma died suddenly at night. . At that time, my parents didn't inform my sister about the news. I asked them why they didn't tell me. They said they didn't want to delay her studies, just like when Awkwafina's grandfather died in the movie. Later, my sister came home and asked me why I didn't see my grandma during dinner at night. I told her that she couldn't help crying. My parents complained about why I said it outright, causing her to not eat well. After many years, I have deep memories of the details of these scenes. I think that modern human society has progressed to the point where there is a basic consensus that it is possible to share the burden mentioned in the movie in such events. Then one day, my sister told me that she missed her grandma very much. Grandma was very kind to her when she was a child. It was a pity that she did not attend the funeral.
