Movie Reviews of The World of Suzie Wong
Movie Review: Love story of an Artist and a Beatiful Asian Girl
Summary: 5 Stars
A lovely story of an aging artist and a beautiful young girl set in Hong Kong. Its very comical when they meet and as the story unfolds he likes her but the life she leads. I found the Bar-Girls a lively group and very cute. As the story progress's it is interesting how much compassion Holden has for Suzie. When the rains come and you see the destruction it causes you feel sorry for the people whose lives and shacks are destroyed. The endingss is very sad but sends a message of hope.
Summary of The World of Suzie Wong
Story of the love between a struggling American artist and a beautiful Chinese prostitute in Hong Kong.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 29-JUN-2004
Media Type: DVD
A prim young Chinese woman on the Kowloon ferry accuses a middle-aged American of stealing her purse--thus begins a culture-clash romance. Seeking to escape his stifled life, Robert (William Holden, Stalag 17, Sunset Boulevard) has come to Hong Kong to become an artist. He rediscovers the girl from the ferry and learns she is not what she seemed; she's a prostitute named Suzie Wong (Nancy Kwan, Flower Drum Song). Though Robert resists her charms, she becomes his model, and their relationship grows surprisingly complex. While The World of Suzie Wong can be patronizing and has some dubious interpretations of Chinese manners and mores, it's also sophisticated (in a censored sort of way) about love, sex, and social pressure. A viewer may scoff at the child-like hookers, yet find the movie accumulates an unexpected emotional force, particularly through its exploration of how the characters maintain their illusions. --Bret Fetzer
