"Hello, Brother", which was released for 60 days, had a box office of over 500 million, and it became the box office of the National Day movie. 3rd place. In the film, "family affection" is transformed into "friendship", from entanglement to calm observation, and finally everyone sees each other because they know each other, which warmly resolves the estrangement between the two generations.
"Hello, Brother" tells the story of how to reconcile "Xiao Wu" played by Chang Yuan and his father "Lao Wu" (played by Wei Xiang) who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Although the life of two generations is told with the help of "traveling", the overall design of the story is not complicated. The "decadent" Xiao Wu happened to experience a time-travel. In the image of the eldest brother, he watched and promoted Lao Wu and his mother who died early. The process of knowing each other and falling in love. At first, Xiao Wu returned to the past for his own survival, but as the story progressed, Xiao Wu saw the sincere love between Lao Wu and his mother.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu, as an important lead character, has a slightly weak emotional expression. For example, when he first sees his mother who has never been masked, he seems too calm, and when he advances the relationship between his parents, he is too urgent and direct. But overall, the core meaning of the film is still fully presented.
As a comedy, "Hello, Brother" is slightly lacking in laughs, and even mixed with joy and sorrow, but the film has a good idea and faces many injuries and estrangements caused by the problems of the original family in modern society. "Confrontation" is not The solution is "love" and "understanding".
