A very touching story! I just watched this movie today. It was very touching story. It is the story of the main characters Di and Luo who fall in love. The things that are so touching is that Di was so in love w/Luo that she would go by the school and listen to him teach, She would cook her best dishes in hope of that he would eat it, She went out in the cold blizzard to go look for him in the city, she even looked and looked for the clip he had given her *Sigh* "How ROMANTIC!" Now this story starts out when Di is all old,Luo has died, and their son has heard the news of his death. Throughout the story...the son was the narrator and he tells of his parents love story. This story is so sad it made me cry. i think the movie industries should make more stories that are beautiful and about the important things in life. Like remembering someone you love who has died. i would give this movie a 9/10. now for the Pros: because it was such a nice story. It has meaning that will impact others lives. Zhang Ziyi fitted the role of di quite well. Nice job there director. The background songs in this film fitted the mood of the movie.The casting was great. now for the Cons: I think the director should have developed the love story between Di and Luo. The summary shouldn't be misleading. I was reading the back of the movie case and it specifically said "As Yusheng enlists the men needed to fulfill her(his mother's)wishes,the story of his parents love affair unfolds. In the days of arranged marriages,he learns theirs was the first based on love." I expected in the movie that since the people in the village knew of Di and luo's love that they would arrange their marriage. I was sitting there throughout the movie waiting for Di's mother and Luo's parent(s) to arrange their marriage,but it never happened. Oh well maybe i misunderstood the summary.
