Introduction: Family affection knows no borders, and the general consensus formed by people in today's society is that the most sincere kinship and blood relationship is regardless of age, borders and races. Although there are estrangements and conflicts between the two generations, in the face of the family relationship that is thicker than water, it will eventually return to the essence of human nature and return to reconciliation, reflecting the inclusiveness of family affection under the support of love and care. From strange resistance to clinging to reluctance, this emotional change is warm and real. On February 2, 2012, a realistic film about the family affection of grandchildren was released in Chinese mainland, which skillfully introduced different ideas and cultural concepts from China and the West, and used family affection as a guide to explore traditional culture, family affection and value differences. In addition to laughing, it leaves a lot of room for people to think.
From the perspective of a domestic film, this is a small-budget film with good script lines and well-made production, there is no big-name lineup, and the character setting is very simple. However, it is commendable that most of the inspiration for the creation of this film comes from life, and it can be said that the maximum artistic restoration based on life is carried out. In addition, in the case of few cinema lines, it can get praise and affirmation from the audience, which is enough to explain the success of the film.
It can be said that this is a film supported independently by the bones of old dramas, and the old artist Luo Jingmin has contributed great acting skills. The role he plays is the soul of the whole play, behind him, representing the lonely and stubborn rural empty nest old man, representing the inheritor of the traditional Chinese art of saving shadow puppetry, and representing the simple and generous concept of family affection education.
With the theme of traditional family affection, adding exotic elements and traditional artistic inheritance components, the happy ending of the reunion is an old routine of domestic films, but it is undeniable that the sincere ancestral love conveyed in the film is still very touching, and the pure family affection breaks the limitations of the vulgar plot and is full of warmth.
When the traditional generational affection is integrated into the different cultural concepts of China and the West, the generation gap conflicts and collides with living habits and ideological concepts, what unexpected endings will occur. Laughter and warmth coexist, and you'll notice how different this movie is.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > comedy laughs, dramatic conflicts, and cultural concept gaps are behind a strong warmth</h1>
Although this movie produced by the CCTV Movie Channel Program Center is slightly rough in some details, this does not deny that it is excellent and valuable in reality. Under the bland plot, it tells the story of the intergenerational family affection that people are accustomed to but is full of topics, and the bond that establishes this bridge of family affection across national borders is placed on the traditional artistic shadow puppet play facing the risk of being lost, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The combination of local grandfathers and foreign grandsons is set, which in itself lays the groundwork for the full comedic laughter in the back. The cultural conflict across national borders is not only reflected in the relationship between family and family, but also in the eating habits, living habits, and values, and the diversified display of this conflict and collision is also the focus of this film.
Shadow puppetry, as a unique skill of traditional Chinese art, has also encountered an unprecedented crisis in its inheritance in today's world of electronic products flooding the children's world. In the film, as an intermediary for family exchanges, from mutual exclusion to sympathy, while completing emotional sublimation, it also makes people face its decline and attach importance to the salvation of this art.
The laughter brought about by the dramatic conflict in the film not only reflects the gap between Chinese and Western cultural concepts, but also brings the appeal for the rescue and protection of shadow puppetry to more audiences. In addition, even if it crosses borders, the kindness of love and the inclusiveness it brings cannot be changed by geography and skin color. Behind the bland warmth, we gain more understanding and care.

Luo Jingmin, a veteran artist who has been in the acting industry for many years, has always been praised for his acting skills, especially for films with rural themes, and he has played the grandfather image in the movie very well. In this movie, The old Yang Tou played by Luo Jingmin is a multi-faceted character, "old" and "earthy", not only an old man who lives alone when his relatives are not around, but also an inheritor of the art of shadow puppetry, his eye movements are all drama, and he looks particularly amiable.
However, from the perspective of this role, the transformation of ancestral and grandchildren's affection from strangeness to intimacy and the collision of ideological concepts are higher requirements for the actor's acting skills. It is Luo Jingmin's rich life experience and just the right grasp of the role that has given birth to many classic and funny but touching bridge sections, which make people laugh with tears.
Brooks, played by Ding Jiaming, represents an overseas culture, "less" and "foreign", which is incompatible with rural life in terms of living habits and eating habits, which also includes a lot of laughs in it. In terms of personality, he is mischievous, has no sense of belonging to a foreign country, and the change from strangeness to reluctance of family affection is the soul of this character.
However, due to the innate lack of acting skills, he still has some scenes in the movie, but this does not affect the rhythm of the whole movie.
The whole drama involves not many roles, except for the grandfather and grandson, the cultural station manager played by Liu Tianzuo promotes the opening of Lao Yangtou's shadow puppet drama class on another main line. The role of Wang Station Manager is mainly set up for the inheritance and development of shadow puppetry, a traditional Chinese culture, and he also acts as a lubricant between the two grandchildren.
From beginning to end, the stories told in the film are very close to real life, and people and things are very warm under the simple story line, especially the delicate emotional changes between grandfathers and grandchildren are the image interpretation of life, which also indirectly supports the inclusiveness of family affection.

In the film, Lao Yangtou, played by Luo Jingmin, is a shadow puppet artist, and the unique skills in his hands can make each character image look wonderful in his play. With Spider-Man being trampled on and the door being torn down, the grandchild relationship that happened to be walking together fell to the freezing point. Age and cultural differences seem to make the relationship seem even more erratic.
One is the love of the Western hero image "Spider-Man", the other is a perfect interpretation of the Chinese mythological character "Sun Wukong", in the shadow puppet play, the narrow road of the two heroes meets, but also indicates that this conflict of Chinese and Western cultural concepts ends in peace. Not only can traditional arts be passed on, but also invisibly change the relationship between relatives.
In the second half of the film, "Shui Jing" becomes a witness to the deepening of the relationship between the grandfather and grandson. The well around the courtyard and the lines recited from the mouth of old Yang Tou all show that it is difficult to give up the parting of family affection. At this time, the well becomes an emotional sustenance, and when life returns to its former calm state of being alone, the memories of the days together are constantly flashing on the calm water of this well.
Eager missing and deep emotional sustenance quietly resolved the estrangement of family affection, which is also the most important thing that Sun Lao Yang tou did after his grandson left. All kinds of joys and small feelings in ordinary days become a spiritual force at this time, crossing borders and nationalities, forming a strong intergenerational feeling.
Family affection is common, the care and love of the elders for the younger generations, the respect and love of the younger generations for the elders, these behaviors are common to people, but there are differences in ideology and concepts under different national borders and cultural atmospheres. Of course, the ending of the film is happy for everyone, and the addition of Tang costume elements further shows the importance that the director of this film attaches to classical Chinese culture.
Of course, the deep feelings between grandfathers and grandchildren because of getting along are an emotional sublimation of the theme of family affection. While emphasizing the preciousness of sincere feelings, it is also an exploration of the inclusiveness of family affection. When the shadow puppet play that joins "Spider-Man" is performed in the hands of Lao Yangtou, it means the mutual integration of Chinese and Western cultures, emphasizing the tolerance and warmth of family affection.

Relatively speaking, family affection is precious, and its impact on us is a lifetime. In real life, due to various reasons, many families have to face the problem of intergenerational family education. In the process of learning and life, there will be generational contradictions between elders and juniors in many aspects. If this contradiction cannot be eliminated well, it is very detrimental to the healthy growth of the child. So, to solve such a problem, where to start?
In fact, the pricelessness and tolerance of family affection to a large extent reflects the good human nature, it can accept the mistakes you accidentally made, and when you are most isolated and helpless, only relatives can help. Especially in the now very common intergenerational family relationship model, the excessive doting and neglect of care of the older generation are not advisable. As a parent, you should strive for more time to get along with your children, and actively broaden the communication channels with your children under the premise of making a correct exemplary role; as an elderly person, you should look at the problem from the perspective of your children, and communicate and communicate in a timely manner, which is of great benefit to resolving the contradiction between generations.
