刚看完先随便乱写下:modern jewishness, middle-life crisis, generational trauma, post-natal depression and female struggles, 前六集都是cynic中产白男酸酸臭臭的中年危机一直到后两集引入了Rachel和Libby视角才变得有意思起来You’re right now as young as you’ll ever be again. And omfg ted moved to New Jersey?! Who would’ve thought of that. 总之确实是还需要细品的小短剧一支 ><
Not bad, surprisingly. The Farewell offers a window through which westerners could see and appreciate common Chinese beliefs and values manifested naturally in people's daily life and interactions. It does a good job to present modern China and its ecosystem on a micro-level, i.e. family, without sugarcoating or demonising it. I understand why some Chinese audience may argue that the view of culture differences (expressed explicitly through conversations) is superficial, but I think this superficiality actually renders it particularly true, because that very view is held by actual people - it is not imagined, and it is not profound for a purpose.
