lionel2

this is a very bad movie. the fighting is fake, the costume is cheap. if a 17 yrs old cute looking girl is what you are looking for in a movie, this might work for you. otherwise, avoid! i rated it 2 out of 10. the only thing that is authentic is that the Chinese characters are correctly spelled.

this is a petty ineffective love triangle story setting at 1950s china. there is virtually no achivement in any department of film making. you are only watching this for the sake of the historical context. otherwise, skip this and watch 'huo zhe' instead.

4 of 10, not recommended.

this movie is of very bad quality. there is no script ( director zhang yuan confessed that there was no script when he started filming ). the style is pretencious ( virtually every spoken line has the 'f**k' word ). this is not a true to life portrait of urban subculture. the director just uses this trick to get some shock value out of it, and to fool the western audience. this really sickens me.

i rate this movie 1 of 10, avoid.
