Movie Reviews of Raise the Red Lantern (MGM World Films)
Movie Review: Colorful
Summary: 5 Stars
I recomend this film to those who enjoy viewing other societies as it will take you away with the day to day struggles of life and the marriage concept of other lands. Worth every penny!Movie Review: Sexual Politics Leads to Tragedy
Summary: 5 Stars
In the world of concubines, a young woman becomes a 4th wife to a rich man. She was educated and chose the man because of money. The life of a rich man isn't as easy as she thought, as a wife with three others ahead of her, she must compete for the master's affection and secure her place by having a son. Life is generally friendless as the women are competing against each other and the master only visits them one by one. The misery of life leads to a tragedy. Movie Review: Too many cooks in that kitchen....
Summary: 4 Stars
A look at male/female relationships in the old times and the options (or lack thereof) opened to women. Yet even in such a dreary setting with limited scenery the cinematography and the costumes were brilliant. The lanterns were truly beautiful. Gong Li played her part well.Movie Review: Review, Raise the Red Lantern
Summary: 5 Stars
I work in a public high school, where this was shown in a high school history class as part of a cultural literacy program of China in the early 1900's. This was a very compelling video, and led to excellent class discussions. Strongly recommended.Movie Review: Well made movie of a situation that could have truly happened
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this movie very much because the actors were very good. The Story is sad and you have to realize that in every culture in the world there has been a view that women are just property. It also shows how different personalities of people co-exist together and that one needs to be careful of their words and actions so as to be able to co-exist in situations in which we can not change.
