The Lost Soldier

This is not a film with lots of action, but instead one of quiet heroism that touches the heart. I believe it is based on true historical events, which makes it even more compelling. The actors, particularly the one who plays Ying, a simple woman with enormous courage, do a very good job. Thumbs up for this one.

While the box office is overrun by superhero films, it's refreshing to see a film that grounds itself more directly in humanity. "The Chinese Widow" is a beautifully shot, often endearing film that features particularly strong performances by Yifei Liu and Fangcong Li. It is a moving story that deals with incredible sacrifice and one that may bring the viewer to question their definition of heroism. If you want to see something more profound than a run-of-the-mill blockbuster, "The Chinese Widow" is definitely worth a watch.

The war was brutal. Civilians were involved, and people died without any words, making the war even more brutal. I think Bille August told the story in a calm style. In this movie, you can see the poor but stable rural life (before the soldiers came). Jack and Ying didn't have the same language, and caused some conflicts, but finally they understood each other by gestures and emotions. I was deeply sad when I saw the ending. :(

A young pilot, Jack Turner, was saved by a young local widow named Ying, she risked her life and daughters as she hid the injured American pilot in her house. This is a good story of how she helped him get escape. The films based on true story of Americans escaping Japanese controlled China during second World War with the help of local people.

When you can't wait for a movie to end you know it is really bad. The acting, story, photography, action, casting, and everything associated with filmmaking was below par. In short, this film should not have been made.
