Maybe it's the cast, the score, the choreography, or simply the director's genius that it churns your emotion the whole minutes of the entire movie, but somehow it just works.
Mind you, such a simple script about reminiscence of a teenage love story between a village girl and a school teacher could easily fall flat and sink into failure but Zhang Yimou just know it too well and instead execute an unforgettable sentimental journey, even stirs your own reminiscence feeling of falling in love for the first time, that is how much the movie affected me, at least.

A very sad story indeed and not your usual Hollywood ending, but I could not find a way to review without spoiling it and I decide to let it just be. Though it is not a movie for everyday audience, but if you have the patience to sit until the final 15 minutes of the movie, you will be granted an ending that you would be mesmerized about the meaning of sacrifice and true love, in a too depressing way.
I will treasure it.

I must say I'm glad I pick out this film to watch for once in a while you find gem among dirt, and I must admit I am very astound of the eerie ambiance created, the mesmerizing and surreal setting, the slow yet never boring pace. It's a journey into the dark side of a human being and whether or not supernatural was involved, it left completely to an open interpretation just as the whimsical motive each characters carry with.
I won't be long with my review since other reviews on this page have basically said it all. I just want to say that a true psychological horror fans would definitely appreciate this and to miss it would be a sin.
