After watching the movie, I went back and watched the original play three times.

After looking forward to it for a long time, I was very disappointed. The movie edited and modified many highlights and logical deletions of the original drama. The final effect was like a vulgar romance with chicken soup. The director did not know how to incorporate musical elements into the movie. The visuals are like an oversaturated version of cheap Bollywood. Of course, even more angry is the deletion of the original script. Nina's studies, family and love, voyage and stay were originally the main lines of the play. In the movie, the role of mother was directly cut off, and the song of mother and father was directly cut off. Why did father struggle stubbornly and only use one line to make a decision I took it, there is absolutely no I will not be the reason in the play, that my family can't succeed that kind of empathy. The song that Grandma and Nina discussed are gone, making Nina's transformation seem inexplicable.

A lot of the symbolic intentions of my favorite grandma’s song were cut off. At that time, when I was watching the play, grandma was singing about the changes in lighting and stage effects when their family arrived in New York, which really shocked me. When I finally took out the lottery ticket, the atmosphere was pushed to At the highest point, when I asked The birds, they fly away, Do they fly to La Vibora?, the grandmother of all time and space looked at me through singing, and finally returned to Paciencia y fe and sang the mental journey of the first generation of immigrants. There is none of this in the movie. In the play, there is only inexplicable optimism and love that I don't know how long to talk about. I'm really disappointed.
