When the movie first started, I was looking forward to this movie. But when the couple first quarreled, I began to expect a slippery slope. After watching the whole film, what I can't stand the most is that the hostess "inexplicably" wants to quarrel, because I don't think the plot can support her emotional changes, and it all seems very deliberate. But then it was "suddenly" reconciled. The emotional change of the hostess is a point that I think this movie is unreal. I know that some people will behave like this in reality, but this is not what the movie wants to show. If If so, I would think the film is rather superficial. However, this is also a nirvana of Korean movies. They will use these to mobilize the audience's emotions. Although I don't like this movie very much, I have to say that my emotions have been mobilized. As a male audience, I would feel earlier You'll be better off separated from this woman. It feels like watching a Korean drama.

Another thing that disappoints me is that the hero's struggle in this land seems very pale and powerless. It feels like the plot of a sugar water drama, which is a bit simple, so it is not real. Because the male protagonist's starting a farm from scratch is the background of the whole story, and it is a simultaneous background. If the description is perfunctory, it will be difficult for him to support your emotional drama, it will lose its authenticity, and it will be based on insufficient The emotional drama based on the real is fake Dakong, silly white sweet. As for whether it’s true or not, the key lies in the details. I didn’t take notes seriously when I watched it, so I can’t give an example, but there are many details in the whole film that make me dance. This is the detail that I have been emphasizing before. The decision is really not true, although the whole film There's nothing wrong with the logic of a movie, but a good movie is all about details.

    Three and a half. Only the performance is A-level, and the others are too conventional. The Asian immigrant groups, individual struggles and internal conflicts within the family have been presented to varying degrees, but they are all superficially, and the artificial traces on the script are still too strong. It can be seen that the actors are working hard to perform a sense of daily life, but they are back on track by the plot arrangement designed by the director. In short, the theme of Asian immigrants has not touched the ceiling. Both Han Yili and Yoon Ruzhen are so powerful that they steal the limelight from Steven Yuan and endorse their works with local national actors, which is probably not the envy of those movies that tell the stories of Chinese Americans on the big Hollywood screen in recent years.

    #QY# 4.0 points. There are many moments similar to Thales Mark's style, but this video style falls into the perspective of an observer between grass and earth, and I still like this rhythm. The small Korean food farm in a small town with a strong religious atmosphere in the south, although it displays the twists and turns of each adult of immigrant families (contact, change and self-evidence), but also uses a poetic way to highlight a certain atmosphere in memory, Efforts to deeply characterize the distress itself are avoided. The last fire that made this East Asian family put down their stubbornness and unite has a kind of ghostly abruptness under the foreshadowing of the preamble (the play seems to be lazy; in fact, my grandma is sick too)... It reminds me to some extent "The First Cow" also made me think for a while whether Mirani is the water celery I love to eat.

  • Jacob: They need to see me succeed at something for once.

    Monica: For what? Isn't it more important for them to see us together?

    Jacob: You go ahead and do what you want. Even if I fail, I have to finish what I started.
