Movie Reviews of Red Cherry
Movie Review: Definitely not a "1 star" film
Summary: 4 Stars
I almost missed this movies because the strong and negative review from the other Amazon reader. I am glad I took the risk and bough this DVD. It is not a bad film if we put aside our political view point and watch the movies calmly and fairly. Chinese or Russian are entitled to tell their stories from their point of view too.Movie Review: beautiful thought provoking movie
Summary: 4 Stars
a wonderful story based on real people. Well done and I highly recommend this movie. If you like it you will LOVE the Yugoslavian movie called
THE GREAT WATER which is a similar story of Russian ideology in an orphanage in Yugoslavia. I highly recommend both. Beautiful!

Summary: 1 Stars
In this film you can most definately tell the good guys from the bad guys. You will recognize the stereotypes right away. The German Nazis and KMT are depicted as evil, sadistic villians (how original, but dissapointing not to see chocolate drooling from their leering mouths while they randomly gunned down or hacked their victims to death). Meanwhile, to your great surprise, you will discover that the glorious Chinese and Russian comrades are depicted as kind, brave, clean and reverent. If you really like this kind of propagandistic drivel, then this is just the film for you. Otherwise you will probably want to look elsewhere for a film that shows a more balanced view of that bleak period in history when Hitler and Stalin were playing chess with the lives of millions, including one unfortunate Chinese girl. The Red Cherry may be "red" alright, but it is mainly a monochromatic film. Seeing how the film was ever so popular in Palm Springs and Shanghai, it must have some merits, right? Guo Ke-Yu did nicely in the wet hanky scenes and the photography was pretty good. But aside from that, I would pick Sergei Eisenstein over Ye Ying any day when it comes to a propaganda film.
