....with Asian actors (at least not very often).
The ways the parents got to interact: their longing for a good life, the way the mom wanted to believe in it and the dad knew from the start things would be hard (although a lot of it is his fault).
I loved the mom. Her character shined for me. She was this young woman who wanted her marriage to work and wanted everything for her son. She did start to fall for the guy that recruited her son, but she didn't leave her family (despite the violence of her husband). Also, yeah, the mom got angry too and sometimes too personal with the son. I think somehow feels safe with people she can fight with, but it's still sad. The ending of the film goes back to when the parents were more of a unit and dedicated to their son succeeding as a team, but we're not sure if the family will be patched up.
I think the son is more successful at love and will be what his mother wants her son to be, at least somewhat. His girlfriend was too good for him sometimes. My sister and I watched this and didn't get why she bothered with him, but it is high school. I'm looking at it with a twenty-eight year old's perspective.
I think the acting team was great. The story also didn't end up with perfect people but very grey people. You didn't always know what they were going to do.
Lastly, this is one of those movies where the guys fight but they really wanted to be friends the whole time. I think it happens and it's crazy, but friendship is complicated and I personally like those kinds of movies.
