Movie Reviews of Zhou Yu's Train
Movie Review: Zhou Yu's Train Wreck
Summary: 2 Stars
If you liked Gong Li's previous movies you'll hate this one. It is a tedious story of constantly oscillating emotions in a pair of romances that are hard to care about. Gong Li's title character does little but ponder her life and kiss a few men. The photography is beautiful. If someone gives you this movie for Christmas, go ahead and watch it, but turn off the sound and subtitles.Movie Review: Have you ever tried to watch grass grow ...
Summary: 1 Stars
Yes it may be beautifull but oh my goodness the anxiety of waiting for SOMETHING ... I mean actually ANYTHING to happen will drive you nuts. This movie is a Chinese made classic that comes as close to watching grass grow .....
Yes, the Chinese cienematography/scenery is good, but so what, the main character is also very beautifull, Gong Li, and an astonishing actress, but so what, the character she plays, Zhou Yu, as the obsessed beautifull young girl taking weekly train trips alone to visit her whimpy poet lover, Chen Ching, makes me mad rather than enjoy a 'sweet' love story .... I was always waiting to see the young slap him in the face and tell him to snap out of it .....
What a sick one sided love story ..... and if that isn't bad enough ...... then meets a young virile and somewhat more interesting young vet ... did something happen ... nope boredom wins again ....
I will tell you what the story is about since it took me some time to figure it out like a chinese puzzle.... Gong Li plays two characters in the film, the obsessed heroine Zhou and also a short haired version of a hip narrator, Xiu who tells the story using flashbacks.... Xiu for some reason finds Chen's poems and wants to meet him to tell him that she likes him BUT not to try to find Zhou, his now deceased love in her .... Gimme a break ....
Finally, please just because the Chinese government lets the director make a movie should not alone make it great or interesting ... this one is a dog dog dog ... not very yummie at all ...
