If you really like to watch Chinese movie, if you really want to know what exactly the best Chinese movie should be, please don't watch 'Shi mian mai fu' (House of Flying Daggers), 'Ying Xiong' (Hero), or 'Wu Ji' (The Promise), but do not miss this movie: 'Crazy Stone' which would tell you that Chinese movie industry still have hope, and the new generation start direct their own movie, which is totally different as previous generation ( zhang yimou, chen kaiguo) in china.

Givingyourself ten minutes watching this movie, after that, you will find that you are watching a movie which is very similar to the British movie 'Snatch', the director Lin Hao using the same way, Guy Ritchie used in 'Snatch' and 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', but the movie reflects the true living situation about plebeian in china. This movie fills with black humor, admirable scenario, and dialect (CHONG QING, CHENG DU, GUANG DONG, and QING DAO). Now it is the hottest movie in china this summer.

Just when i gave up on Chinese movies, there came the Crazy Stone. It brought me so much fun and made me to regain the hope for the Chinese movies. Never would I consider any liberal and entertaining stuff, such as the Crazy Stone, coming out nowadays from a social context that was tightly controlled, like the Chinese political environment.With a brand new vision the young and open minded director Hao Ning, again, showed us his talents of convincing over people's pockets and their hearts. The director, simply like anyone else, sees the craziness in today's China and has the urge to express his and also everybody else's bewilderness, coz everybody is so lost in front of the money. people do not know where they are and where to go , more crazily, they do not have the rights and power to know about it, so why do not people just make fun of the whole madness, isn't it what China all about now, chaos and craziness... ...

From plot to transition, from angle of lens to rhythmic montage, from editing to tone, from contrast to freeze frame..., you can get the impression involving Guy Ritchie, who may be referred as the Godfather of Film Noir. This story starts with a priceless emerald, a squad of slack guards and two gangs of thieves, one of which is amateur, while the other is professional judging from the looking. It is not difficult to speculate what would happen from this kind of stereotyped beginning. We can't tell which part is the imitation and which is the original. It's a concise and smart comedy, somehow, whose genre is quite different from traditional dramas we can watch at the Chinese cinema. Anyway, for the director, we can say, it's almost an perfect homework. It would make somebody laugh, but it is difficult to have the audience impressed as a milestone movie.

The film is full of Chongqing dialects throughout the film. The dialects are spoken very authentically, which makes them very funny.

The stories inside are linked one by one, and when you read it, you can't help but praise. It's too coincidental.

The Baotou played by Guo Tao is very interesting, with joy and worries of small people, and insists on justice in his heart. Protecting the jadeite was because he felt that he had served as a policeman. It was also to keep the factory from closing down and wanted to make money to pay back the debt.

Among them, he has a lot of competition with a series of thieves. He handled the complacent, entangled and irritable emotions as a security guard against thieves particularly well.

Another interesting point of the film is the comparison of a group's attachment to jadeite and the misjudgment of true and false jadeite. It really confirms a sentence: the value of a thing depends on its location. So false is true, true and false, depending on your attitude towards it.

The whole film opens with a close-up of the face of the hero, bao shihong. The lens slowly changes from black and white to color. At the same time, bao shihong appears in the eyes of the audience with an indescribably facial expression.
