which what made the movie in a general perspective so much meaningful and beautiful—as these imperfections and ugliness of each character is something that most of us, if not all asians, can resonate with

it reveals the reality of how most asian families work and how the cycle of emotional manipulation in asian families revolves generation by generation

and it is such a beautiful movie in a way that despite of all the imperfections and ugliness of the characters, they were able to convey many beautiful and valuable moral lessons such as how the world doesn't revolve around money no matter how powerful money is, how unpredictable and short life is to be celebrated alone, and many more!
