“Preparing for the next life”: Bittersweet Immigrant Romance

Spark between the two accelerated lovers ignites within the Latin Nightclub in New York, as a pair of dance with an awkward playful Spanish Romantic Ballade “un Velero Llamado Libertad” (sailboat called freedom). Their origin and wrinkles cannot be distinguished: it is an undocumented immigrant, which is part of a persecuted Chinese ethnic minority; Veteran is a white army without a clear direction and the chronic case of PTSD.

Holding their comfortable old and unspoken exchanges with only Emile Mosseri Sonic Horns results as a company, filmmaker Bing Liu (Most famous in its own documentary of the Nominated OSCAR “Minsing GIP”) is delicatately monitored by their flowering and incredible romance in its first place in fiction “,Preparing for the next life“Based on the same name on the same name at Atticus LISH, written for Martin Majok screen.

Neither dangerously spread out of mental health among the military people or dehumanization and exploitation of undocumented people went unexplored in the American cinema. However, humanism “prepares” in character makes these topics feel explicantly exploring concrete events and interactions, not easy in nature. The drama notices that circumstances shape his connection, turning everyday in his battlefield.

What kind of difficulties (Sebiye Behtiire) and Skinner (Fred Hechinger) so intensely to each other, despite their seemingly incompatible backgrounds, whether the common feeling does not belong naturally in front of them. Isolated while surrounded by millions of people, they are in another anchor that confirm life. At one point, early in her subuddamy, the camera moves through the layers of people to find quietly licking McDonald’s soft server, visually pushing everyone, aside to leave them everything.

During the stage of the honeymoon of their relationship – which will become a dazzling chronicle impossible love and resistance to the Modern America – Liu and Cinematograph Ante Cheng, also caught city visas and crowded Chinese quarter streets. But that aura possibilities start fading when the less pleasant edges of their immersion lighten.

Initially their hinge connection to physicality. They dare they dare to deal with pushing, to indulge in beer. Aisha was a way to feed her body, she earned for years of training with her father’s army. Flashbacks were nipped in her childhood in the huge landscapes of China reveal longing for the previous existence that cannot be returned. Her “next life” is here in the United States, where a persistent conviction is that indestructive to others is incorrectly covered her internal fragility.

Meanwhile, there is a cute naivety for Herhinger’s performance. Skinner moves through the world with a careful ready to connect, desperately because of the feeling of recognition. His clumsy body language and soft look showed a boy tenderness, darkened only untidy outbursts of his condition. That it is far from a muscular, dissatisfied, open Macho-type – still wants to be transformed into bodybuilder – makes a more convincing reproductive figure. Nevertheless, gentle, unabated gentle, unsophisticated behavior – who attracts Aishea – also makes it limited in his understanding of her situation. Haking her everyday state avoids their view of the world.

It is an intersection that must face. How can he force him to really see it? More than once, Aishe is watching Skinner with a fairly specific expression, not one of the pity or pity, but charged with a true desire to believe that they can build life together, that their painful present can change. In fact, it is the potential of her still visor that makes Behtiire (Uighur actress in his first characteristic) acting revelation. Behtiar plays Assertiva Aishe as a young woman who does not want to hand over her dignity or residence to anxiety.

Thanks to its great stars and Liu’s patient, who is in the smallest gestures, “prepares” to transcend their most promotional beats, such as Aishe’s meeting with immigration organs, inevitable, slightly, non-mismanner.

Late in “Preparation”, Aisha enters the mosque. There, Inman talks about her about how we have trouble and the suffering we experience while alive will be rewarded in exit. But the establishment of her defiance lies in an attempt to change the purposes, and maybe the joy of this existence. It is a sad realization for Aishe that her the most desirable property is her ability to escape, to read, not to be seen at any place or person to survive.

So, when the song that first brought her and Skinner, together returns as a motive for waiting, can be realized that the loss is only constant – at least in this current life.
