A Brief Review of "Beijingers in New York"

#Film & TV Zayo # Stayed up for several days and finally watched the 21 episodes from beginning to end. There are no subtitles, the sound is small, many lines are not clear, and it is authentic Beijing dialect, so I had to adjust the voice to the maximum and listen to it repeatedly.

Exactly 20 years ago, Jiang Wen was just 30 years old, and the two heroines were also of similar age. Their acting skills are quite good, from close to 30 to close to 40, from green onions to old age, and the interpretation is quite in place. Playing the daughter's little pot friend is also young and famous, actually only 4 years younger than Jiang Wen, no wonder it does not look like a mother and daughter feeling, but like a sister!

I have also been to the United States, I think most of the Chinese in foreign countries, because it is difficult to integrate into the mainstream society, may not be interested, so instead of blindly pursuing material, in the Chinese circles, money has become the only criterion to measure whether they live well in the United States. In particular, for the generation 20 years ago, the economic gap between China and the United States is quite large, and doing physical labor in the United States that has no future will be more generous than at home. The impact of American values on the traditional concepts of Chinese families is also unexpectedly violent.

When this film was broadcast in the mainland, it was a mess.

However, there is a reason not to give five stars. From the plot point of view, I think Guoyan's two divorces are very decisive, especially the second time, sorry david, after resolutely leaving, I feel strange. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we bow our heads and admit our mistakes, ask the other party for forgiveness, and then obediently be a good wife? How can you hurt the other party and the other party is still willing to live with you, but you resolutely leave? If there is emotional purity, why sell David? The divorce with Qiming was also quite sloppy. Maybe this is Qiming's personality, temperamental enough, but also quite uncool, good wife, just because the other party to find the door, you let go, why bother. Moreover, they did not think about their daughter in Beijing at all. When they were at the airport preparing to board the plane, Qiming suddenly did not go back again, and chose to stay up in the United States without specific next steps, which is also what I did not understand. Is there really no way back, and is there no way out for the locals?

Even if it is difficult, the reassuring thing is that the protagonists are not bad people. Qiming is a profit-seeking person, but the bad one is not complete, and the bad one is not meticulous haha.

The film is very realistic, and although I have not read the original novel, I also believe that it is faithful to the original. This story, even today, can still bring inspiration. Even if you stay abroad for a long time, you are still a foreigner. Just like now, even though I've been in Hong Kong for so many years, Hong Kong people don't treat me as their own, and I don't feel like a real Hong Konger. At the same time, I am a Hong Konger. For identity in other places, this is not the case.

The theme song is special ~ very good! The interlude soundtrack is also great! Plus points!
