One thing that people often say in the comments is a variation on “Hollywood get millions of dollars for their movies and they are usually crap”. I prefer not to buy into cynical generalizations - usually. But it feels pretty true. Earlier this week, I wanted to reward myself with a Pay-Per-View movie. I rented one. It was crap. I rented another. It was worse. Much worse. This film-maker and many others manage to create deft, engrossing short films. Sometimes they are pretty freakin’ memorable. This one will stay with me for a while.

English speaking Chinese mom left two kids in the car to do some errand while there could have been some danger. Non-English speaking mom left her daughter in the field going to a post office but there seemed no danger involved, probably. But something happened unexpectedly for the latter mom.

I fail to see why so many comments here are upset about the incident. So what would people here suggest? Let every stranger everywhere on earth run around and do there thing and give a f... who they are and what they do? The police only asked her for an ID, she should not have ran away. And who knows if that was the mother, maybe she kidnapped the girl and the girl was just told to call her mother or has Stockholm syndrome. Nobody did anything wrong in that movie except the "possible mother" who first left her daughter alone, put in danger that way (she could have been killed in traffic, get kidnapped, get hurt by the syringe) and then tried to run away from officials. And if you argue "well, she ran away, as she's illegally in that country", that doesn't make it any better as you are not supposed to be illegally anywhere to begin with. How did she even get there? It's not that there is a way to sneak from China into the USA over some border. So by ship with the help of people smugglers? That alone would be a good reason for the police to interrogate them, because these smugglers are terrible criminals.

Where is Andy Taylor and Barney Fife when you need them? Instead we can make a dystopian thriller from the fabric of ordinary everyday American life.

I watched the whole short before reading the description. My first impression was, that it was very ironic that Frances wanted to show how much she cared about her heritage, from having a Chinese flag hung in her bathroom, to participating in "Multicultural Day", but in reality, she completely forgot her mother tongue as she grew up. I don't want to judge in this case, because I know that learning Mandarin is particularly difficult, but she should have at least retained understanding of the language, so that she could have understood what the little girl was saying. That being said, the film does leave it a mystery as to why the immigrant mother left her young child alone in the middle of nowhere in the first place.

She could have been adopted by an American family who taught her as much as they could about her home land. There's so many reasons as to why she didn't know her ancestors language.

In Mandarin she asked her daugther why she wondered off while she was in the post office. What everyone accepts is the cops are the bad guys and there is no conversation about the real problem and crimes here. The ladies and the children all would have been fine in spite of the language barrier untill a couple of pigs showed up with their only priority being the respect of their authority.

I must admit, the first thing that American society taught me, was to lose the accent, stop caring about others and mind my own business. In other words, to basically stop being myself.

How can American society teach you to stop caring about others? Lol its you, its in you. You are not that good of person if you think you stopped caring for others because of American society. There are millions of American people who care for others and poor. They help homeless people they share their food with them. Like you can be rich in American society and still care for others.

@@musicandfilms9956 no on the contrary American society is very diverse, some people as you said values financial success more and some value happiness more than financial success. It's on you to choose who you wanna be. If you wanna live like a homeless then ok you can live like a homeless, if you wanna be successful then sure you have a higher chance at being successful than you would have in other countries. But neither of those forces you to forget about caring about others. You might be a competitive person, but even then you may help people who need it. Helping does not have to be giving a person tons of money or letting them stay at your place. Helping can be as little as just encouraging someone who needs others to encourage them.

@@yavuz9038 first of all, what you know of me is clearly minimal. Just like in the film, it would have been better if she ignored what she wanted to do and did nothing. The same that my original statement said. I'm guessing that you got as much out of the film as you did my post. Next time you require to be spoonfed, try not acting like a brat.
