Movie Reviews of The Road Home
Movie Review: Best Love Story Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a masterpiece and one of few the movies I felt emotionally attached to. The amazing cinematrography captured the beautiful landscape of rural China. The curiousity that lead to an undying passion was simply unforgetable. Zhang Ziyi's character was vibrant even in the depressing winter, however I loved the pink and red jacket she wore throughout-afterall she is the beautiful maiden of the village. Not a whole lot of dialogue between the couple, but the picture speaks for itself. Even pure love can exist when tradional arranged marriages were common, especially during the years of the cultural revolution.Movie Review: Reminds me of our past
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased the movie based on the reviews that I've read and found the movie to be great. I watched it with my wife and she didn't like it at all, saying that the movie was too simple and there was hardly any dialog. But that is the point of this movie, it was meant to be a simple story of young and innocent love. It struck a chord with me that it reminded me of how I felt when I first fell in love. And it warms my heart to know that there are many like me that enjoy a simple and well told story especially in the 21th century when things and lives are so complicated by necessity.Movie Review: Well, 4.5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
It's nice to find movies about people in this day and age. No special effects, no fights, no guns. This is a very simple movie and beautifully told. Its a story about falling in love, and the pain death brings. The cinematography is outstanding, some of the best i've seen. What's so interesting is well, is that although this is a film about people, there is very little dialogue. Actions speak loudly, and Ziyi Zhang, who has the face of angel, is superb. It's impossible not to be mesmerized by her beauty. Be prepared though, this is a happy and very sad movie all rolled into one.Movie Review: Enormous sweetness
Summary: 5 Stars
It is really unbelieavable sometimes, how a truly simple story can be transformed into a strong film. Zhang Yimou did it again!When watching this film, listening to this beautiful music I felt in love with this calm and pure world, long lost in the hectic life of our "western civilization".
Pure - unaffected acting, some time it seems like a documentary.
Zhang Ziyi confirms her acting talent. See this movie and feel the calmness, the love, the Aristotelian "catharsis".
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Touching Story
Summary: 5 Stars
The Road Home is a tender testament, not a eulogy, of unspoken love. By maintaining a minimalist approach to dialogue, the movie never comes across as too sentimental. It's spareness continues frame by frame. The acting and filming is also restrained, and thereby exquisite. Enduring love is actually very quiet and you see it and feel it in this wonderful movie. YES! Belonging to each other in family and community is beautiful. And it can't be addressed with words. This movie screams humanity across all cultures and all politics.
