Mei li ren sheng

The story starts with Shu Qi as a real estate worker I guess as the translation was not quite clear trying to make it in Beijing on her own. She has difficulities getting what she wants and gets duped and dumped for her partner who is younger by the male character and also shorted of her fair share according to what I understood. She has a cop that falls in love with her and is her shoulder to cry on and tries to help her anyway he can for her to achieve what she wanted when she came to Beijing in the first place. She then leaves and he gets let go of the police force for doing her a favor which was against policy. He also finds out that he has a form of dementia. Even through all of this he promises his younger brothers fiances mother that he would watch over both of them. That is how kind hearted he is. After some time has passed The Shu Qi character finds a piece of paper and scribles some black pencil on it to reveal a message. That's when she sets out to go back to Beijing to find him only to see that he has moved. The blind man tells her what he is going through and asks her if she can love him even though he may wind up forgetting who she is. As you probably figured out she goes to live with him and eventually they get married and then he sustains an injury while chasing a thief and she is crying for him not to die. The ending is you probably know is a Happy one. I always find Shu Qi in these roles of victim or getting killed with the exception of the gangsters daughter. I think that she should play a different role in the future, otherwise she will get typecast for this type of role forever.

A total Waste of talent and money and wasted my 2 hours to watch this cringy and cliche content. I can understand why the producer and director were same. Writing was so inconsistent. Total mess.

Wonderful movie, I watched it knowing not what to expect. The first hour has a different tone from the second one, but they both complement each other in a beautiful way. What is really lovely is that one of the characters changes for better, and it is a real, deep change, rarely portraited efficiently on screen. The photography is stunning, the soundtrack is beautiful and the actors did a wonderful job. Netflix is allowing me to discover these wonderful and heartfelt movies.

Nothing much left to write, except that it was a great experience and that I will recommend this movie to everyone! Beautiful!

This film is all heart. A policeman rescues a drunk real estate agent who is drop dead gorgeous and takes her home. He stands by her throughout the film despite her sometimes ignoring how good he is to her. The message is anti-materialism and shows there might be hope for china before they follow our path to decline in the USA. He is good to everyone in his life and at work, but tragedy keeps falling on him, but he does not give up hope. He takes care of his little brother. The photography is very well done and the actors are top rate. It has been nominated for Hong Kong Movie awards and should be nominated for best foreign picture if Harvey Weinstein does not promote the Intouchables through the roof.

This movie is way too long. It needs an editor to cut it down to 90 minutes. The first 90 minutes are great. It tells a complete story. We have a beginning, middle, and ending. But this movie continued on for another 40 minutes and it really starts to drag.

The movie could had ended at a very specific part and it would had been a 9/10, but it went on and on and it slowed down to a halt. The final 40 minutes suddenly covers over a year in these two persons' life.

The acting is really good, but this movie really needed a better editor to trim the fat. 6/10
