感覺還挺不一樣的。看的時候有時候都有點捉摸不到到底自己在氣的是什麼。最後兩人心靈相通終於把話吐盡,想到了《媽的多重宇宙》媽媽石頭向女兒石頭靠近那一幕帶來的潰壩式的感動。亞裔終於不壓抑了。豆瓣上看到有個評論說得也挺有道理的:真實世界到第九集就結束了。哈哈哈,就像和亞裔父母和解是只在電影裡的 真·情節純屬虛構 。

啊 台灣的老師那麼兇哦…衝突的醞釀和爆發很真實。想要的、能接受的、想給的、能給的之間的撕扯碰撞。每個人的焦慮都是合理的,但是在當下都不能解開。如果能哪怕多給一點離開美國家的時候的片段來展現母女三人在美國時候的關係和交流方式,那回到台灣之後生活方式和各人行為的轉變應該會更生動一些吧。

[重新短評] 滿心替旁邊這位感到激動,心想竟然把女性華人移民在新大陸的落差、孤獨、迷茫描寫得這麼生動、刺激甚至還能讓人不舒服的時候,被批評選了個什麼爛電影 [狗頭] Still... 還是堅持自己的看法,講華人開洗衣店沒問題,講華人就要講家庭、親子沒問題,我不覺得我們的生活已經脫離這些元素了,這些元素都還沒有被放到大銀幕上討論透。這部電影並不是在加強刻板,而是把和刻板一致的表象下面的前因後果掰開了讓所有人看,包括主角所屬的群體自己。單純地去說“為什麼不拍這樣/那樣的華人”至少是跑到了另一個問題上。這部電影非常卓越地完成了它的任務。

In this bestselling, page-turning saga, four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan, exiled from a home they never knew.
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving,
is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

[有聲書] 一部小說把各種各樣的韓裔的故事都串在了一起。偷渡去日本的、被騙去日本的、在日本出生的、在日本長大的、在日本長大在美國讀書的、在美國生長又回到日本的,精通日語的、只會韓語的、英日中韓全通的……生動刻畫這些身份背景如何決定了他們看待周遭和世界,又是如何在隨波逐流中決定自己的命運,所以他們走到一起,但是又各自走著自己的路。還有從始至終的女性從出生到終老都是受苦 受苦 受苦……

Living for Change Douban
author: [美] Grace Lee Boggs publishing house: University of Minnesota Press 2016 - 8
No one can tell in advance what form a movement will take. Grace Lee Boggs’s fascinating autobiography traces the story of a woman who transcended class and racial boundaries to pursue her passionate belief in a better society. Now with a new foreword by Robin D. G. Kelley, Living for Change is a sweeping account of a legendary human rights activist whose network included Malcolm X and C. L. R. James. From the end of the 1930s, through the Cold War, the Civil Rights era, and the rise of the Black Panthers to later efforts to rebuild crumbling urban communities, Living for Change is an exhilarating look at a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to social justice.

感覺行文特別流暢好讀。真是不立志把美帝搞垮的美國人不是真·美國人。看她講怎麼鬧革命,又特別容易,又特別難。專注在最基層、微觀的問題,自己和戰友們也不是什麼天降神人,就是懷著對活生生個體的關注、對自己從不間斷的挑戰自然發生的結果。另外,結合現實就覺得,資-社、中-美、東-西……這一對兒對兒的,哪個不是看到對方試驗的失敗就認為是對自己成功的證明,所以才有了望不到頭的各種奇觀式的悲劇、鬧劇呵?

比起全導之後的作品,確實情感體現的方式還不那麼明確,會覺得埋得太深,或者沒能表達出來。但是把一些最drama的片段以無聲地方式處理,感覺更讓人回到爭執現場,或者關於爭執的回憶裡。能夠記住的最多的可能只有動作和猙獰的表情。肌膚的疼痛、嘶吼的聲響是無法還原的。
