How to evaluate the movie Instant Universe?

Yang Ziqiong won the "Best Actress" award at the 95th Academy Awards for "Instant Universe", becoming the first China actor to win this honor. In the film, Yang Ziqiong uses 1.39 minutes to explain the infinite possibilities of Chinese mothers, and also tells about the cultural collision and social dilemma faced by overseas Chinese.

The "Kung Fu Goddess" in Hong Kong action movies, the "Bond Girl" who fought alongside Bond, and the all-around Xiulian in the multiverse ... Yang Ziqiong broke the glass ceiling of Asians with China Kung Fu. "This encourages overseas Chinese to break stereotypes and build up cultural self-confidence." Xia Yuqing, deputy director of the Institute of Overseas Chinese Studies at Yunnan Normal University, said that Yang Ziqiong gave a speech on eliminating violent conflicts at United Nations Headquarters and bravely opposed racial discrimination, which is an example for Chinese to actively participate in mainstream social affairs.

"Xiulian, played by Yang Ziqiong, plays an important role in reshaping the screen image of China." Li Mu, an associate professor at the School of Art of Nanjing University, believes that the image of a "model minority" who used to be gentle, courteous and thrifty, always had some weak negative colors. However, with Yang Ziqiong and other oriental faces appearing in western films in different roles, overseas people will have a new understanding of China people.

Li Mu said that the laundry room was an important place for early immigrants in China to make a living, and the image of hardworking immigrants in the laundry room was close to the real society. In this scenario, the instant universe reshapes the Chinese mother. The role is round and three-dimensional, and its transformation is also very convincing.

Movies are the epitome of observing the real world. In recent years, the theme of American Chinese movies has changed from "Oriental beauty" to "Chinese mother-daughter conflict", and the relationship between Chinese families has become the focus of social attention. This kind of film with the theme of "the other" has aroused the thinking of film researchers.

"Compared with the story of brain opening, the part of Instant Universe that describes the social contradictions of China groups in a humorous way attracts me more." Zhu Zhaoyu, a doctor of film studies at King's College London, said that Instant Universe described some social contradictions faced by the Chinese community. In the movie, Xiulian, 55, went to the tax bureau to explain her tax problems on her father's birthday. The expression of the white staff seems to show disdain for this Asian woman, and the details of the film silently describe the social difficulties faced by Chinese.
