Nice movie. Comparing to the summer blockbusters like Wanted, Journey to the center of the Earth or even HellBoy, I opted for the International Screening last night.
The movie walked me through the Cultural Revolution era of China. It has few familiar cast in it namely
Jaycee Chan, Anthony Wong Chau-Sang and Joan Chen.
The movie by itself was intriguing. Nothing solid as the story line since it interconnects the 4 short stories, whereby all the characters coincidentally intertwined along their lives. The connection was revealed slowly as the stories progress. The background musics accompanying the movie was orchestra in a playful manner. In the 2nd story, Anthony Wong’s character opened up a different view of the Cultural Revolution. And his suicide death still remains as part of the puzzle.
I left the cinema feeling good and at the same time, puzzled still.
In the end, it doesn’t matter what the story told but knowing that the sun will still rises.
