After watched Flower Drum Song |
Flower Drum Song is a musical movie about Chinese people who are living in America. There is a family which has a son who is handsome who has to marry soon. The family is pretty rich and is looking for his fiancée. On the other hand, one family, the father and the gullible daughter, comes to America by a ship illegally from Hong-Kong. They are also looking for a fiancé as well. Eventually, they meet each other through an owner of Chinese nightclub, and then, they almost got engaged one another in everyone’s complement; however, in the engagement, there is one problem. The thing is the fiancé is already engaged with a dancer who is working at the owner’s nightclub due to this, it makes a lot of incidents. In my opinion, this is such a boring movie. First of all, I don’t like musical movies, especially, English musical movies because these are hard to understand. Not only do I not like this type of movies, but also I couldn’t understand it well. The other reason is that his movie is too old and has a common story, so I think every classmate anticipated the story when we watched the mere beginning of the movie. The story has a general plot, there is a problem between a couple owing to one’s girl friend or boy friend, and then finally they got married and be happy. However, there was also something interesting. The background and fancy dancing was interesting. The background is America, but the people illustrated in the movie are Chinese-American, so I could know how they are living. For example, their house is a totally Chinese house even though they are Americanized. Furthermore, their dancing was fancy and funny. I was impressed by the dance of the baseball boy. Thus, this is the movie one can experience Chinese-American culture, and enjoy seeing their dancing. Nevertheless, it makes people bored easily, and one might not find any interesting part from the movie, especially, for young people. So I recommend this movie to the elderly, people who’d like musical movies, or people who’d like to experience Chinese-American culture. |
