The Farewell focused on social topics and cultural differences caused collisions.

1905 movie network news The popular film of the Oscar season has been released nationwide since the winter solstice on January 10. "Grandma has cancer. Do you want to tell her?" It has become the focus of the audience’s hot discussion. On December 25th, the film released a topic video with the theme of "My family is terminally ill, should I tell TA".

And this is not only a problem that the characters will encounter, but also a story with cultural characteristics. Since January 10th, when the Winter Solstice announced the rescheduling, the film The Farewell has aroused heated discussion among the media, film critics and ordinary netizens, and even some viewers who have seen the screening can’t wait to express their desire to "brush it again".

Family views are constantly colliding, and white lies all come from love.

The film The Farewell is based on the true story of director Wang Ziyi, telling the farewell story of Chinese families: Grandma has cancer, should I tell her? The latest topic video released by the film is "Grandma has advanced lung cancer, do you want to tell her?" At the beginning, different views of family members are thrown out one after another. Billie, the heroine played by Awkwafina, thinks that grandma should have the right to know. "Grandma has little time, but she should know her illness";

However, Billie’s parents, uncles, aunts, young aunts and other family members believe that "not telling her the truth is to share her ideological pressure". Starting from a topic of great social significance, the film is ostensibly telling lies. In fact, it is more about how to love your family in a respectful way and how to learn to say goodbye.

In fact, there is no right or wrong to tell or not to tell, as director Wang Ziyi said: I don’t have a clear answer, I don’t know what is right. What I do know is that this lie made my grandmother and I spend three months in China. It gave me all these experiences with my family that I wouldn’t normally have. "

Awkwafina, the leading actress, stood in the role of Billie at first, and then she gradually understood in the filming, "Because you don’t want her to bear this pressure alone, I understand every point now". In the final analysis, the point of a lie is love, and what the film hopes to convey is how to say goodbye to the people we love. In the sincere and touching emotional background, everyone may be able to find an answer about themselves.

The Farewell, the most eye-catching dark horse in the Oscar season, is highly anticipated once it is finalized.

The film The Farewell became the most remarkable dark horse in the Academy Awards season in North America. She not only won the double nominations of the 77th Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress in Music/Comedy Film, but also won four nominations of Critics’ Choice Award and three nominations of Women Online Film Critics Association Award, and was selected as the top ten films of the American Film Institute in 2019. The media at home and abroad are optimistic that the film will make some gains in the Oscars. Director Ang Lee even listed Variety as his favorite movie in 2019 in the "Directors on Directors" activity specially planned by Variety.

On the evening of December 22nd, once the film was announced to be rescheduled for January 10th, it attracted much attention and became the focus of the audience’s expectation and search. Many media and film critics took the initiative to forward the film as "a remarkable dark horse in the Oscar season".

Netizens also expressed their expectations, "I think it’s a warm movie when I look at the materials, and I want to watch it with my grandmother", "I’ve seen some screenings before, and I feel more empathetic than I thought, and I’m full of life, love and satisfaction. Finally, I’m going to support another wave." Awkwafina, the heroine, has also become a hot topic for many audiences. "I heard that she has been nominated for many leading actress awards and I want to go to the cinema to see her performance." "All the movies I have seen recently have Awkwafina, and I also want to see The Farewell for the heroine.".
