Movie Reviews of The Road Home
Movie Review: An Intimate Film Experience!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Luo Yusheng is returning home to bury his father who has just passed away. When he returns home he finds out that his father's body is in a different city and his mother insists on having his fathers body carried home by hand according to old traditions. This seems to be a very hard task, since it is winter and there are no other young people to help him in the village. However, the mother's demand is easily understood, since he knows the story behind the passionate love she has for her late husband. The Road Home is a very intimate film about understanding, love, and compassion. As the film fades out, it leaves the silver screen with a memory of a remarkable cinematic experience.Movie Review: Sometimes Simple is Best...
Summary: 5 Stars
A superior performance than Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Zhang Ziyi stars as a village woman, of whom is the most beautiful, that falls in love with the village teacher. Her performance, though mostly silent, is excellent, and perfect. All characters give great performances, and we can't forget the great direction from the master Chinese director himself, Zhang Yimou. The scenery takes us through the rural side of China, as well as the poor side. The musical score helps build all emotions, and impacts greatly at the touching and moving ending...This is definitely a magnificent film, memorable, and meaningfull. I strongly reccommend this movie for all willing to learn of life.Movie Review: Beautifully Done
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Chinese films. I enjoyed Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine and other recent releases. There's something about the film and the technique that is so delicate, so Chinese and so engaging in the individual personalities that make up the story. After renting this from a DVD service, I had to buy it. It is a beautiful love story, with sacrifice, humor, culture and a story line that anyone in love would enjoy. The story is about a teacher who has come to a village to set up class, the young girl that falls in love with him, sacrifices, and waits for him until he returns. Great cinematography, beautiful characterization, and a very memorable storyline.Movie Review: The Road Home will touch your heart and bring you to tears
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I won't get into summarizing the plot here because plenty of other reviewers have already done that. Plus, I think it's always much better to see a movie without knowing what's going to happen next.I will say that this is one of the most emotionally touching movies I have ever seen. And I'm no wimp. I workout at the gym 4 times a week. I've bench pressed 300 pounds. I pride myself on my toughness. But this movie completely broke me down and had me in tears. Everything about the movie adds to the emotional impact, from the beautiful setting to the musical score, but most especially due to the outstanding performance of Zhang Ziyi.
Movie Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
THE ROAD HOME is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time! It is about a village girl who falls in love with a school teacher in the days of arranged marriages. Then he gets taken away by the government. My brief synopsis doesn't do the movie justice though. Don't let it deter you from buying this film!THE ROAD HOME is such a beautiful love story, but a tear-jerker, so some guys may not like it. However, it is clean enough for the whole family. Definitely a "Girls' Night Out" film, though. My friends love it and we're planning to watch it again during our next get together. I highly reccommend it!!
