“Ang Leeu0026#39;s first feature film, compared to u0026quot;Eat Drink Man Woman,u0026quot; is a bit too neat and plain, but it still possesses the characteristic traits of Leeu0026#39;s later films – quiet and plain, yet captivating. Itu0026#39;s truly miraculous that if this son were placed in another directoru0026#39;s film, he would undoubtedly be detested, yet under Leeu0026#39;s direction, he evokes a sense of weakness without crossing into detestable territory. u0026quot;The sun is shining, and I just want to stand here for a while. After all, no one is waiting for me. Iu0026#39;ll forget about it after standing here for a while.u0026quot; This reminds me of my grandmother, who moved from her hometown to the city and struggled to adapt. Two weeks later, she insisted on going back. During most of the daytime, she would just sit on the balcony, soaking up the sun. I wonder what she was thinking at that time. Initially, I thought it was about cultural barriers, but later I realized it was much sadder. Cultural barriers can be temporarily overlooked through the efforts of both sides, but time and aging are forces that cannot be resisted.”
