Movie Reviews of The Road Home
Movie Review: A gorgeous, sweet love story
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most deeply moving films I have seen in a very long while. The story is sweet and meaningful, and the acting is absolutely exquisite. This film is lovely and quiet, beautifully filmed, and restrained. One of the things that impressed me about the movie is the obvious acting talents of Zhang Ziyi, the actress who played Jen in Crouching Tiger. If you think you'll even recognize her in this role, I challenge you to see the movie to find even one remnant of Jen in her character. She is an excellent actress and conveys realms of thought and feeling without saying a single word.
If you're hoping for a fast-paced, run-of-the-mill movie you won't absorb, see something else. See 'The Road Home' if you want gorgeous and rich cinema.
Movie Review: One of the most beautiful movies of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are familiar with Zhang Yimou movies like: "Raise the Red Lantern", "Ju Dou", "To Live", "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Shanghai Triad", "The Story of Qiu Ju", and "Not One Less", then you already know that he is a master of film making. "The Road Home" (Wo De Fu Qin Mu Qin aka My Mom and My Dad), is no exception. This is a heart warming, beautiful and powerful love story of what true love really is. Ziyi Zhang is captivating with her natural beauty and sense of realism. If you want someone to see what Asian cinema is all about, this is the film to get them to watch. This film is one of the best films of this century and in my all time top 10 list. If you want to see real film making, buy this film and put in your DVD collection.Movie Review: Simply moving and touching
Summary: 5 Stars
The Road Home is a simply wonderful and touching movie. I cried when I first watched it. It moved me. It is not to be missed. I would highly recommend it to anybody. The scenery and the acting is excellent. It is a love story for the ages. Unfortunately the movie did not get enough publicity when it came out. I read a review of the movie when it came out and noticed that it was highly recommended. So when the DVD came out I had to get it for my collection. I was not disappointed. See it and you will not regret. The beginning of the movie is shot in black and white to set up the plot but then it goes into splendid color when the story line goes back when the characters first met and fell in love. This has the original Love Story beaten.Movie Review: Underrated Masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was a beautiful film. With little to do with talking, the legendary director Yimou Zhang (Raise The Red Lantern, To Live, The Story Of Qiu Ju and Hero) uses scenery for emotions in this film, which are so rich. I thought the story was beyond beautiful how the girl would wait until the guy she was in love with, would pick her bowl of food that she made special for him, I loved that she would follow him and try somehow to get his attention. This film is a true love story that you never really see anymore with excellent acting from a radiant Zhang Ziyi, now known as in America Ziyi Zhang. I totally recommend this film for people who love a true romance film that will make you cry.
Movie Review: simple and beautiful film
Summary: 5 Stars
This film begins when a young man returns to the remote village where he grew up. His father has died and his mother has made a request -- that the village men carry him back from the regional hospital on foot according to tradition so that he will alway know his way home. The problem is that there are no young men left in the village, they have all gone to the city. As the young man examines his mother's wishes, he relates the story of his parents' courtship. This is a simple love story that is beautiful and compelling.DVD extras are few: 5 trailers and filmographies for the director and star.
