- Awkwafina, Tzi Ma, Diana Lin and Director Lulu Wang stopped by the IMDb Studio to talk about their Sundance film 'The Farewell'.
'The Farewell' Synopsis: A Chinese family discover their grandmother has only a short while left to live and decide to keep her in the dark, scheduling a wedding to gather before she dies.
lulu and awkwafina literally look like sisters.
Hearing that this movie is being heavily pursued by a host of studios and streaming services warms my heart. It deserves all the best and gives me hope for the diversity of film-making going forward. Welcome to 2019! Keep it going, Hollywood.
A24 snapped it up. It found a good home.
well that's it - it's not really "Hollywood"... that's why it was made.
Finally saw Farewell yesterday. It was a strong emotional acting film. That I can sort of relate to why they did what they did. She's matriarch of the family. The two son were brilliant. I can't wait to see what Ms Wang next project.
Wow this interviewer is so talented and I’m so hyped for this movie omgosh
Moe Sun that’s Kevin Smith! Pretty famous director. Super funny guy.
He's a great entertainer. He went on Colbert and did a soliloquy for 10 mins. You can see his genuine love of movies in this interview. ruclips.net/video/NKvjK-z6jI4/видео.html
All the actors were so good, the script was so good! It felt very real for me and I think I need to go see my therapist now. Not sure if I should cry or laugh about it.
Wonderful movie. Awards Emmy Oscar Academy winners. Awkawfina is amazing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kudos to the interviewer for doing his research and asking interesting questions with a refreshing and natural demeanor. You don’t see a lot of that in interviews - it’s usually one or the other
The interviewer was so good! I didn’t know who Kevin Smith was before, but now I know.
Lost my sister at 44 to colon cancer. I believe she lived up to the Dr.s telling her she had three months to live. She did just that almost to the day. I took my Daughters to see it and it was so heart warming, we talk afterwards, that i do not want to know if i have a short time to live if possible. Thank You for sharing this with the world.
hoping this movie makes it to wide release for those of us who don't live near major cities :(
It went wide Aug 2nd.
Just saw this movie tonight. Incredibly moving and funny at the same time. Really thought-provoking to me as someone who lost their mother to cancer. I am glad she survived, though. Cancer survival stories always give me hope. Nai-Nai was my favorite character, but I really like Billie, too.
My favorite film of 2019!
Looking forward to this film!
Who would of thought Nora would be standing in Beverly Hilton talking about getting the GOLDEN GLOBE!!!
Am I the only one to think that lulu wang is the older version of awkwafina? they assemble each other badly
I saw it yesterday and honestly this film might be perfect
It's the Chinese general from _Arrival_ .
Omg i was figuring out why he looked so familiar! Thank you.
He’s also in Rush Hour
@@bhuang8981 Kevin Smith was in Rush Hour? Don't remember seeing him.
Edwina Godwin wrong person it’s tzi ma Kevin Smith wasn’t in arrival
@@bhuang8981 thanks. Mr. Ma is excellent actor. I've seen him in a few film.
i watch these kinds of videos because i cant cry in normal situations
i pity you, I'm glad i live in a culture that i can be compeltly honest with the people i love, and they are proud to bear my sorrows with me.

#brandingonfleek
Got to see.
Is that why u cast Awkwafina? u two look so alike, Lulu...lol
awkwafina actually asked for the role, she was raised by her grandmother and related a lot to the role
Awkwafina speaks mandarin 🤯😁😆😄
Lulu Wang n Awkwafina are so similar are they sister's??
Lovely Asians!
Sooo..what is Water saying ?
So how is granny still alive?
Asking the real questions.
they gave my grandmother 3 to 6 months and she lasted 3 years.
@@Amidat Nice, what did she do to last so long, or was it doctor's diagnosis are usually off since i'ts difficult to predict?
@@okaythen001 it was just God's mercy
1MDB...
Awkafina does know yul brynner has been gone for around 30 years or so right ?
The interviewer is offensively underdressed
Maybe it’s a way to make the interview less serious in a way, or to lighten the atmosphere, like maybe it’s just so you don’t have feel pressured to look incredibly well dressed for this interview, as long as your energy is good, then the interview will be good. At least that’s what I think 😅.
he's a well known director / celebrity and is known for the way he dresses. always shorts - usually a backwards baseball hat and a hockey jersey. so him wearing the blazer and having no hat is his version of a tuxedo.
Don't be superficial in your expectations. More important to let people express their own identity and feel comfortable in what they wear.
I was just curious about what the westerners would think, is it ridiculous to put on a brave face and hide the feelings and the fact that your family member is dying? For me, I’d do the same as the film characters, because in Chinese culture, we put family values before individuals, and if I told a family member, he or she would probably give up the last hope and just prepare to die.
I don't quite understand the claim that the lying is for "family values." Maybe, it's because the director first gave people this idea. To me, the lying is supposedly for the benefit of Nainai, i.e., an individual, so that she could live her last days with less sorrow, less fear, and more hope. I don't buy this individualism vs collectivism framing for this film.
From the perspective of someone who works in healthcare in the US, it is pretty mind boggling how someone of sound mind can be kept out of the loop of their own healthcare. It's one thing when people can't make their own decisions due to cognitive issues, but with someone who still has so much life and cognition... It's a pretty foreign concept. My grandma and great aunt are getting up in years, but they're still making some decisions regarding their health and their final wishes, so I don't know.... It can be sad for our loved ones seeing their health decline, but they can also make peace with it. Some may choose they want to keep fighting and others want to live out peacefully, which is why things like Hospice exist. Even if they aren't necessarily a "fighter", I think it's possible to be aware of something without being totally consumed by it. Many people are able to make peace with the fact that their health is declining and they will die. All in all, I understand the perspective of the people who wouldn't tell the grandma, but I can't imagine that in my life.
@@sunnyb2982 I think in Chinese culture people genuinely believe that we can make good decisions for others, even when against their will. Maybe this can also explain why Chinese families have so many "tiger mothers."
This movie was NOT GOOD. So heavily handled. I don’t understand what’s going on with all the buzz.
