"Everything About My Mother" enters from the perspective of a daughter, looking at the whole life of the mother, she is not perfect, but she is trying to play her various roles and do her own work for the family.
The film focuses on the family affection card, coupled with the element of cancer, the process of the mother's step-by-step death is intuitively and vividly presented to all the audiences, and the naked eye can see the "good cry".
In the four months that Ji Peizhen had left, everyone tried their best to express their love and reluctance, but in the face of death, everything was useless.
The film wants to use the remorse of her husband Li Wenfang, daughter Li Xiaomei, brother Ji Peiqi and other people in the film to gently beat all the audiences: love should be expressed in time, don't wait for everything to be too late.
Also to face the separation from the mother, the Spring Festival file of the explosion of "Hello, Li Huanying" has a crossed brain hole, there is a comedy baggage, and "Everything About My Mother" is much heavier in appearance.
The most tearful scene in the movie, when Ji Peizhen went to find Li Xiaomei's "boyfriend", Li Xiaomei asked her mother: Why don't you believe that she can handle her own affairs? Ji Peizhen said: "Mom can't wait. ”
We will be touched by a mother like Li Huanying, and we will also cry for a mother like Ji Peizhen, because in this world, all mothers have the same wish, and their children are safe, healthy and happy.
