A simple love story that transcends all time and boundary. There is so much heart and soul in the movie and even the landscape in the movie was splendid. Yet another amazing movie from the legendary famous director, Mr. Zhang Yimou. He really takes the viewers into the lives of these simple country folks (brilliantly being portrayed by Zhang Ziyi as the main lead), but with so much real connection and love in it. It is a real shame that China doesn't really make such movies anymore. These days, it all crappy CGI with lousy movie plots. Bunch of pretty faces but no real acting talent whatsoever. UUUggghhhhh......

Yes it is a classic being remake again & yes the storyline is predictable & the execution might be somewhat questionable. However, I find myself couldn't take my eyes off the screen & keeping watching the movie till the end.

Overall, I think is entertaining & the CGI isn't as bad as what some of the critics are saying here. I have seen much worse. People just need to chill, this is afterall a KID's movie!

Compared to the Haunting of the Hill House, this series is no way near as good & as captivating. The storyline got really muddled towards the middle, with no real explanation until the last few episodes where you finally know where everything is going. Find myself really looking forward to finish the entire series. Just one of those things that you feel so invested in the beginning & want to go through with it anyway. Disappointing that's all I can say.....
