But almost every time (of course, not all the time), he impresses me.
From the title alone, I knew exactly how this movie would go.
Unfortunate events of characters, but people holding onto their lives.
That was exactly it.
But Zhang still makes it work for me.
My only one problem with the movie. C'mon! Gong Li in the movie grows old up to like 60 years old woman.
Draw some wrinkles on her.
But she still played the role perfectly.
It's a known fact that she began being in Zhang's movie because she was sleeping with him, but she still can damn act. Also, at that time, at her age, I don't think it's a role she'd play if she wasn't serious about her acting.
Rating: 4.5/5
Oh, this movie needs a post-script. That's right. It's about China and the commies. Commies suck. I hate commies, and China is still full of commies, apparently. They didn't allow this movie to be shown in China and they didn't allow Zhang to make movies for 2 years after this movie. Yeah, that sounds like a commies' work right.
