    A stunning movie. It presents such an infective atmosphere by natural cinematography .When I saw it two years ago, I got moved into tears at the doomed destiny of protagonist even it was shot almost a decade earlier.

    It's a must-see if u wanna know the high-level movies produced in China.
  • ex-criminal who wants to go straight but society shut the door in his face, and he was thus forced back to the old ways.

    This problem is not unique for China, but is common everywhere. The film however is unique for China in that it is among the first to courageously face this topic which public is far less enthusiastic to face. It can also be viewed as a wakeup call to criticize those with attitudes of "should not be committing crime from the start", which is extremely common in China. The problem here is that the guy did his time and wanted to go straight, attitude like this would only push him away from normal life and back to the arms of criminals.
  • For young people, or relative to a single selection in the murder weapon, or a gun like "mahjong" in that way, more is good at using the knife! As with other excellent cruel youth "," in the year of fate murder scenes shot very well, after a long time to pave the way, while you are chewing Jiang Wen's performances, suddenly across the light knife. Very suddenly! At this point, you in addition to Bengchu a "fuck me!" In addition, only a mouth silly Leng copies of the.

    Shoot the cruel movie of Xie Fei, is a very elegant and refined as director; Ang Lee to say "personally in their own movie, this is Chinese 5000 years of sexual repression results", the refined Xie Fei ask Jiang Wen to help with his camera, expressed that age of sexual repression, the age of sexual repression. Here you have to praise Jiang Wen, more than and 20 years of age, can be so familiar, handy, which can only be used to explain the word genius.

    At the age of 24, one of the second year of fate, the movie played by Jiang Wen, was released from prison, often moved by sight memories of some small things when the age of innocence, two wearing a red scarf children, walking on the tracks, and naive words. I remember when I was 24 years old, I like memories, memories of primary school, memories of the middle school, all kinds of bit by bit. In recent years, combined with the more popular online nostalgia 80s cartoon, series, snacks, games and things like that, I think of "aspirin" in a sentence: "some people say that memories is a sign of aging, but now even the 80s people are desperate memories, so I said, memory is not a person the old logo, repeated memory is." The 24 year old should is not old, because that's when I was a student, and it is in my school days are not the most prominent what year is the beginning of mature age, but what is mature? Maybe it's just a euphemism for old age!

    Finally, to say that the film in 1989, a Chinese development of reform and opening up the good day, then there are a lot of films are love when things get. At the end of 80s and early 90s and is now a lot of love for the environment of the film, to show that time through a variety of symbolic elements, it seems strange hairstyle, disco, big horn recorder, vendors, etc., they are now the sixth generation person, there is no shortage of tablets. However, if you really want to feel like a pile of Qing Dynasty, the Qing emperor said it is not worth a look back to the eighty stones, find the nostalgic sense and the movie in twenty-first Century, rather than directly to the feelings of the films of the era of the original flavor, it is not a strong purpose the symbol, but purely natural expression.

    A group of film shots in the final, it is the inverse of people like Jiang Wen, bow down, at the end of this reminds me of the "yellow earth" before and after "Farewell to My Concubine". Chinese film, or very much like the end of a very interesting.
