Movie Reviews of The Blue Kite
Movie Review: A great movie that China doesn't approved.
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this movie, It motives me to support vote for liberty Constitutionally. Better yet, liberty from Sin is greater.Movie Review: Blue Kite?
Summary: 4 Stars
It was a great movie. I just wonder how they got the verbage on the back of the packaging. You'd think the "blue kite" would play more of a central role. Never happened. But the movie, aside from the misleading description, was great.Movie Review: more than two long hours of bleakness
Summary: 3 Stars
While respecting the moviemaker and the people who participated in making this movie for their courage, I find this movie unbearable:- the characters are paper-thin: the protagonists' reason for existence in the movie is to suffer. The communists' reason for existence in the movie is to parrot the party line and to act arrogantly. There is really no fleshed out characters in the movie.
- the plot lacks subtlety: the movie begins with a wedding delayed by the death of Stalin, and ends with brutal violency by the Red Guard. There is a glimpse of happiness at the beginning of the movie, and it disappears completely under the bleakness of the plot, which is no more than a string of tragedies linked together. In contrast, To Live, My Favorite Concubine, Burnt by the Sun still manage to show the hope and the humanity shining through the desperation. That's why, for me, the endings of To Live and Burnt by the Sun are much more devastating than this movie's.
Movie Review: Straw Dogs
Summary: 3 Stars
Compared to a similar film-"To Live"--this movie never really connects the viewer to the main characters--perhaps intentionally-I'm not sure--but despite the various calamities--one really never sympathises/empathises with any of the characters. About the only emotion felt during a viewing of this movie is ambivalence--perhaps all men are straw dogs as per the Taoist's and this is an expression of that sentiment.
Basically, the story of a mother and her son from the Communist take over, through the Great Leap forward and the Cultural revolution.
Worth watching--but in my opinion significantly inferior to "To Live" But also--significantly better than some of the garbage hollywood spews out!
