Re la gun tang

This movie is amazing. It's so hard to describe the impact it had on me just by words, so I recommend everyone to watch it in the cinema, experiencing the impact brought by the movie's visuals, music, and cinematography and I believe you will reckon it worths too. Many scenes deeply touched me when I watched it. Seems like the other audiences got the same feeling as we were just so into the movie, all stayed and reluctant to go when it ends until the staff came in to clean the chair. It's never too late to make changes in life, striving for yourself once, compared with the past self, progress is a true win. Appreciate the hard work and contribution made by Leying - Jialing, the main girl and meanwhile the director of this movie, bringing us a self-redemption from a female perspective. The best fit of international women's day!

I don't understand why someone would be so malicious about this movie and give it a one-star rating without even watching the full movie. Is it really just because this is a movie directed by a woman, as some viewers in mainland China said? When my parents and I walked out of the movie theater, we both had our own thoughts. Even a chauvinist like my father saw the power of disadvantaged groups in society who long to understand and change themselves. This movie represents the cry of the lower class people in China. It just happened to be filmed by a female director. Of course, this is not necessarily a coincidence.

The meaning converyed in this movie + This movie acheived a huge success above others during the chinese spring festival + This movie directed by a female and the only movies directed by a female during spring festival time = Some of the male audiences(Chinese Ken) did after their emotianl hurt: 1. Rating lowest everywhere online like dog peing; 2. Accuse its sucess came for its overly marketing; 3. Blindly propagandizing another movie by a whole male team is a real movie over YOLO. However that movie do maketing too (because of it's spring festival, no one in movie industry would like to miss it); 4. Trying sooooooo hard to twist the meaning of what the movie really want to express by blindly accusing it's a movie promoting girls need to be thin and ignoring by purpose how's the female character mentally change. However, the direct said it's not a movie about a women losing weight instead of a women refound her enthusiasm of life from boxing. And a muscling body (Boxer body) just a tiny byproduct.

I don't want spoil so I won't say any more detailed story here.

But telling the truth, the editing and story telling skill are remaininng room to grow but the combination of the real meaning of this movie want to express and the chinese male audience's action, like a social experiment, is reallt a fun thing after the last time I saw Barbie.

It's worth for you if you like to find out in this movie how's the progress of feminism consciousness made in Mainland of China at this time.

Considering by these, I'd rate 10 to recommend ppl to watch a movie that hurted Chinese Ken's feeling.

I was so confused by this movie that I went out of my way to write my first ever review on this site. Basically, what you have here is a very mediocre awkward rom-com for 90 minutes followed by 20 minutes of processing and healing from trauma, followed by the most lovely story told only within the end credits! This last bit was by far the best part of this movie and it has me longing for the longer "behind the scenes" or documentary they could have made out of the actress' real life journey, which was way more moving and affective than the movie itself.

I get the premise and the message here is important, it just didn't feel particularly well told for most of the movie. Maybe this is my bias in not speaking the language and missing something in translation, but it didn't feel that way. This movie clearly has some moving things to say that it finally said at the very end and in the credits. I wish the whole movie had been that way, and then this review would have been a solid 8. As it was, I spent most of the movie reconsidering my decision to see it, and then feeling a little more on board at the end. Overall, this means that I liked it by the end more than I expected to from the first half, but nowhere near as much as I wanted to.

Kudos to the actress/director for her bravery and her commitment to her craft. This was clearly a very personal story for her and that part was indisputably beautiful.

Definitely worth it. Personally.

First, I went to see it just to find out what Jia Ling is like now. I knew she was quiet a large sized lady....and when I heard she lost 100 pounds, and my initial reaction was shock and curiosity. You know, her original weight was 170-180 pounds! My feelings were both stunned and admiring.

Before the moive was released, she told the audience "I hope to bring something to the audience." She did it!!!

First of all, Jia Ling's successful weight loss is probably the most superficial and obvious thing about the movie. I deeply resonate with this because I have been bouncing between losing and regaining weight for years. I've never been able to defeat myself, whether it's my cravings or my bad habit of quick enthusiasm that fades away.

Secondly, I also understood a deeper meaning: We live once, and we should win at least once.

This time, she is living only for herself.
