A movie-loving editor
is a difficult topic "Don't Tell Her", a high-profile Chinese film that tells the touching story of "home"
For a Chinese, home is a carrier of family affection, and it is also an emotional sustenance. Harbor, and most Chinese families are connected by introverted and profound blood lineage, and the emotions contained in it are very subtle. In today’s film, the core place is at home. A family includes a mother rooted in China, brothers living in the United States and Japan, but facing a terminally ill mother, what will happen to this family What about stories and conflicts? Today we will walk into this house together. The story of
started when the grandmother in the hospital found out that she had lung cancer when she checked her body, but she was concealed by her sister without knowing it. Granddaughter Billie, who is far away in the United States, has a strong personality and often calls to care about her grandma. When I returned to my parents' house, I was told that my cousin Hao Hao was going to get married. After constant questioning, Billie learned that her grandmother had cancer, but her grandmother did not know. Billie could not accept this. Seeing her grandma's enthusiasm for Haohao's wedding, she struggled to tell her that she was seriously ill, and she even had a dispute with her family about it.
But in the end, Haohao's wedding took place. Billie finally changed her mind when she saw the happiness of grandma's wish fulfillment, and ran to the hospital to get her grandma's inspection report and make changes. Grandma saw the report to relieve everyone. Later, everyone returned to their original lives. Billie also returned to the United States with her parents. Grandma still didn't know it. Fortunately, Grandma still survived the illness for seven years. The editor of
thinks it is another heart-warming story, but it is gratifying that although this movie is adapted from a real story, its ending is still satisfactory. Chinese thought has always prayed for a successful ending, and the ending of this film is in line with Chinese characteristics and aesthetics, so it is especially moving. It is worth mentioning that the screenwriter is an open-minded person. This film is not only a concept of a small family, but more of a concept of a big "home". Seeing the big from the small, the editor thinks the technique can be described as clever. The
story took place in this family that gathered due to illness, but a careful analysis of the composition of the members can make it bigger and bigger, and compare this "home" to a country. In this diversified world itself, different ideas and practices are incorporated. The family's dispute over the concept of life and death and whether to tell the patient about their physical condition is the epitome of the collision of diversified future ideas. For example, in the film Billie and her parents live in the United States. They naturally think that it is illegal not to tell the patient, because the law stipulates that the patient has the right to know, but in China, the judgment on this matter is more sensitive.
Of course, going to the countryside is also a way of absorbing various cultures and ideas. It is a metaphor for me as the mainstay and absorbing the essence of thought. Here, the editor has to admire the feelings of the screenwriter as a whole. From a traditional moral point of view, this is for the protagonist Billie. It is a choice. She wants to overcome her own inner stereotypes. From unimaginable and incomprehensible to slowly accepting the choice and cooperation, she has completed the baptism of her soul. She gradually got rid of the inherent concepts in the United States, and began to feel this love in this family where blood is thicker than water, where she found the "subject" and self. The screenwriter
portrays the image of grandma as a classic Chinese parent. Grandma endures the cough until no one shows it. She is old but still manages the grandson’s wedding by herself. The editor thinks this is just like our parents fucked their children. Heart, but still happy, all the visions of grandma in front of grandpa's grave are the expectations of Chinese parents. The editor believes that this Chinese-style sentiment and Chinese-style vision all show the screenwriter's good intentions and deep understanding of traditional Chinese morals.
For Billie, it is probably because of seeing the lively scenes at the wedding banquet and the voices and smiles of grandma and her relatives and friends that she chose to hide her grandma with her family. The editor believes that this is also the climax of this movie, the Chinese scene. Concentrated display, the climax of Chinese emotion bursts out. Home is no longer isolated in this film, but the individual wandering outside is presented as a whole. If so, would you choose to tell her? I think everyone has their own answers in their hearts.
