In a historical legal decision last year, a jury in Michigan found a 15 -year -old school for the school’s 15 -year -old school responsible for the deaths caused by their son. Can they prevent him? Based on a real, annoying story, the director Eric Lin‘s “Rosemed“She focuses on a Chinese single mother who takes radical measures to deal with her son’s dark pulses, and she replaced one tragedy for something that cannot be conceived. Lucy Liu,, Which explodes the disturbing movement numbers box that was built “Charlie’s Angels” and “Kill Bill” around it, and revealed the previous “ally mcbeal” star in a completely different light.
Recently, the widow Irene Chao is trading, to choose it for your self -steps, using makeup not to highlight its beauty but to reduce it. In the movie “Rosemead” (which was named in the East Los Angeles neighborhood where this true story occurred), Leo turned the language of her entire body, wearing loose clothes and wandering in herself as if she was trying to disappear from a world that Chinese immigrants do not accept.
Independent drama, which was first shown in Trebika FestivalIt was inspired by the Al Ain opening report in the Los Angeles Times on the treatment (or its absence) of mental health in American -Asian societies, although most of them will go to the film uninstalling the place where the story is heading. Lin comes to the advantage of his first time from a background in cinematography, which explains the reason for describing the film, which was accurately composed by a degree of attention to the views of the opening snapshot.
In the first silent scene of the film, a drone is floating towards a window from the Sunseet Hills Hotel, cracking in a three -singing family and dancing behind the room curtains. Later, Lynn will reveal the moment of lifting to be something between memory and the imagination of better times for the Zhao family. Irene’s husband has died since then, and her 17 -year -old son, Joe (Lawrence Show), who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, has not been the same since then.
The adolescent drawn in the form of dark spiders in the classroom and shows an annoying installation of news reports on shooting at schools. This alone does not make a killer in the future, although Irene takes longer than the masses to recognize the warning marks. In line with the Chinese culture, where family issues are dealt with much greater than what may be true for Americans born in indigenous newborns, Irene’s instinct is to pay everything under the carpet. As such, she lives in a state of denial, and he constantly making excuses for her son’s behavior.
Joe see the Orion Lee, but Irene does not want to deal with treatment. This changes throughout the film, which shows that Irene is an active interest in placing her son after the police picked him out without a goal in traffic. Joe School Friends have expressed their own fears, which strengthens a central point in the Marilyn Fu scenario – that is, not because there is no supportive society fighting Joe for adaptation.
The movie shows nothing but sympathy for Joe, although the disturbing patterns show shows (if not completely justified) how Irene chooses to deal with the situation. It should be noted that she deals silently with a mountain of its own issues, from diagnosing peripheral cancer to the attempt to manage family printing business itself – all of which are hiding from an atmosphere, for fear that the truth may overwhelm it. Irene is more honest with her friend Helen (Madison Hu), but until then she keeps most of her headaches for herself.
This trend towards discretionary power requires to be somewhat heavy softness in the way he transmits his characters. “Rosemead” would have been stronger if he had trusted the audience’s intelligence a little more regarding the pain of Joe (which was seen in the end of theorizing flashes) and Irene’s doubts. The Cringey trip to the beach where Irene struggles for a smile between the bloody cough has all the post -school. There is more Passover in the way that challenges the stereotype “Rosemead” that depicts an imperfect representative community, with a focus as almost exclusively on Asian Americans (regardless of school officials, police officers and the owner of the white weapons store).
In the case of Irene, she is more comfortable talking about her homeland cantonia, as she presented the English half of her dialogue with a thick tone and building a broken sentence. Liu Great Great Photography comes from accurate observation, which reflects the attempts of angry and proud woman to raise a child in a country with a lot of language and culture. More often, films such as “Rosemead” do not end with a group hug, as there is no miracle treatment for cancer or schizophrenia to solve the chaos. However, Lynn deals with this indisputable slide towards tragedy with a praiseworthy sensitivity. It is a dark story, and a novel in a way that some good can come from.
