This movie is about pressure and motivation.
A study in culture bridging, including … a new US-born husband, trying to work within the traditional ways, a new China-born wife, eager to join the “dream” of America, two family-minded fathers, lots of gender-related social bifurcations.
What did you learn from this movie?
Our daily life always filled with pressure in diffierent extent.However,for some people it is the power to do better.But for others, it may become a big barrier which is beyond our ability to come over.We may still be pressured into doing a lot of things even when we have grow up.So,how to deal with it? If we do not handle it probably, it may deteriorate rapidly and bring us more great troubles.Just like in the movie,the father have to leave Chinatown because of commit crime. If the son can early find the basic cause between his wife, maybe the result will be opposite.So,we should realize that enforcement will not exert its effect for somebody.Besides, people should also communicate with good friends well.That is very important.
From this film we can see that there is only one success to be able to spend your life in your own way.At first, the man only do the job for his father,he didn’t like the job but he had to do.He married his wife because it is his father wanted. He live for his father not for himself. I hope everyone can do what he wants to do.
In China,we always say “No pressure there is no motivation”.We want to have a well life.We must work hard.Sonetimes we do somethings is not we want like to do.But we have to do it and must do it better.Oh!it’s very sad!
Everything has two aspects, the pressure is no exception. On the one hand, the pressure will promote the development of things.On the other hand, the pressure will inhibit the development, such as the pressure of the hero in the film.
Pressure can become motivation in a way,but it will bring negative effects if it can’t be managed in a correct manner.So we should deal with the pressure when we face it.
This movie reflects the “edge life” in Chinatown,which result from the special history background and the conflicts between Chinese and American cultures.We can get lots from the movie.When we come across problems, we should have more confident to solve them nor escape. If we think we can and try our best to do,then we will success sooner or later.
No matter what the problem is,we should and must bravely confront it!There are always measures to make it!At the same time,we should remember that family first!We have enough time to do what we want,but family time wait for no man!
We should enjoy life while doing busniess.
Everyone should be loyal to your huaband or wife.
In this movie, I feel a serious cultural conflict. I personally feel that when looking for spouses,we should find the people who have the same interests with ourselves so that we will have no cultural gap. What’s more, husband and wife should understand mutually and communicate with each other regularly so that the family will harmony
I can’t believe this could happen in China.
I do not think it is a culrute conflict.In my opinion,I think it is a story about family and love rather than a story about culture difference, though several problems arecaused by culture.
I think they are lack of understanding and produce debate and more stress. the most important of couples is communication and understanding.
Husband and wife should communicate more,only in this way,can the relationship between Husband and wife be stable.
i understand Chinese-American culture better by this film .Most of our time ，we think the people who live a wonderful and happy life abroad.Reality maybe a little cruel ，the loneliness ，homesick and many unfamiliar things always make them unhappy ，but they have to do their best to adapt to such things to support their family in china .The end of the film is very comfortable
In order to please his family, Ben do everything followed his parents’ willingness. He was under great pressure when he tried to do something. That’s why he was failed both in his job and in his marriage. We should not do the same thing. Remember if you have no interesting in something, you can’t do it well.
From the movie ，we can know more about that pride
I don’t like the girl in the movie !She is not beautiful,she is not a kind girl .
I learn that people who have different cultural background to deal with things have different approaches.
The first thing I’d like to say is that this is the first time I watched the movie on the school server and it’s definitely the most terrible experience for watching a movie.The playing window of the school server is so small that I have to put my neck on the bottom of notebook computer so that I won’t miss something.Luckily,Microsoft Windows has a utility named “Narrator” so that I can get a “larget screen” or I’m a dead man now.
This is a good movie,not only the story but also soundtrack.The movie shows the power of Chinese culture.They can live in every corner of the world,whatever hard the situation is.But the director seems to be agree with traditional Chinese wedding that parents control everything.I don’t know whether it is right.
I think the women in the movice is a sufferer. She was so lonely when her husband was working outside. What impress me deeply is that the women said “A tv is not like a husband”.
When Ben Loy and his wife left the Chinatown in the final ,it was a good chance for both of them to restart a new life.They all have done something wrong to each other and lived in an environment filled with other’s comments.Sometimes chinese people lived together in the chinatown can help each other ，but it may not help them getinto the local culture and society.
Mr Jobs has said”And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition”.whatever Ben Loy has done was to please his father in this moive.His failure in marrige lies in his mentle pressure from the surrondings. Its terrible to be occupied with the job which he didn`t like .In my opinion,the wife should take largely charge for their broken marrige,becaues as wife ,she should abide her loyal though she was very lonely.
I personally dont’t think this movie is about culture bridging.The US-born husband did all these things in chinese way, and I can’t find any culture collision in it.
What I learn from the movie is that one should not do any thing dishonest even when he is wife doesn’t love he.He can divorce with her,and then everything is ok.
Another thing is that work is just work,life is always in the first important place and do not put too much pressure to pressure,do what you can do ,try your best , and the result is determined by God.
At the back of every successful man there is a woman.we should consider other people’s feeling,we should not too selfish.If the women consider more about his husband ,it would not let the third one come in!
Marrige is boring even 60 years ago and even in America although at last in the movie they were happily together again.
Did I see zeng zhi wei?That’s really a surprise.
Some words Mr Lee said impressed me greatly,”your father is a proud man,whatever he does,he does for you.”
Although their marriage was broken when there father left.But they did not give up and had a
happy life at last.
I watched this movie last Wednesday.This film gives me deep impression on the difference between the culture of marriage between east and west.At that time children must observe the parents’ order to marry a girl, and they cared much about “face”.As a result of that that boy’s dad killed the man who ran around with his son’s wife.
I had seen this movie for a long time.To tell the truth,I didn’t understand it.Some people say that the movie belongs to comedy-drama.In fact,I didn’t feel its fun.All that I paied attention is the history in that period.Why the Chinese who stayed in America for twenty years were not willing to go back to China?The language in the movie is easy for my listening.That the most valuable gains I had in the movie.
To tell the truth, I am not really into this movie. This movie, as to me, is loosely orchestrated, unnecessary-lengthened in which the actor would have sex with his wife every five minutes, and failed his wife every time except once in Washington. The director seemingly wants to hint that his family especially his father lends this young man too much pressure that leads to his impotence. But then what? The family pressure disappears immediately that his father moves to Miami and this young man forgive his wife at the meantime. I doubt what will going on in reality.
I don’t think this film is real.Things will be different in real life.The foundation of a marriage is not the pressure from the old families but he true love between them.
I feel confusing after watching the movie.I don’t think it can reflect the Chinese life and Chinese marriage in the right way.In the movie, it’s the heroine that kissed the hero first. It can’t happen. And after they got married, I don’t think the heroine would make love with a mostly strange man. God, I don’t believe it. She was a traditional woman.
I am touched by the husband.True love comes after forgiveness.The ending is moving.
Love is the most powerful thing in this world. When you really love a people, you will try to forgive his or her mistakes. Things will get difficult for a couple seperating from each other. It is unbelievable that a couple can seperate from each other for 20 years. What is the meaning of life if you can’t share times with your spouse? Money is not everything, money is not the whole thing of life. Life is short and enjoy your every breathe every fabulous moment with the one you love.
