Such a touching revolution true story

4 strong and famous actress in one movie. The movie started up slow but it eventually capture your attention , and you can’t get your eyes off the screen about 2/3 in. I have never been to China, but as a Chinese, father told me lots of Chinese history. From different dynasty to many political leaders. Not sure how true this movie portrait Chiang. The movie make him look really bad like shooting animal, stole the big Emperess diamond put on his wife shoes, and weak like a weam at the last airplane scene. My Chinese friends said they learned about the 3 sisters story in high school. I am a little Suprise that the Soong family were Christian, they were quite wealthy. It seems like they were ok. I thought Communism against religion believe.

Long story short. War is sad. Innocent people die, so many people die in any war. The worst is people fight against their own country men and women.

Always Remember Who you want to be

Stumble upon this base on real person true story movie. Really good and enjoyable movie. It is 2004 movie, image not very clear, but the message was clearly delivered. One can learn life lesson and reminder from watching this movie. I have learn Thai Kickboxing and had been to Thailand many times. Knowing that kickboxing is huge in Thailand. You can watch kickboxing ring on the street. Children learned kickboxing at young age. The male lead did a really good job portrait his role. If you are not aware, many family sent their boys to the monastery at the age of 5 to learn Buddhism, I believe for 2 years they stay in the monastery. To me, Thailand has been one step ahead of many modern countries in term of accepting transgender and transvestite person.

I thought this is a very heartwarming movie. The fight was pretty real, good technique etc. People should try to understand how much struggle the transgender /transvestite person is. Lots of internal struggle, society pressure, prejudice, etc.

This movie remind us of many life development, such as at the end she told the young fighter yo fight with his heart. Also, when you are lost, or puzzling, “Always remember who you want to be”. Don’t forget your family. Ask for their blessing.

Green, lovely, calming story

Direct translation of the Chinese title to English is “That Person, That Mountain and That Dog”. This movie is so beautifully make. It must be in the Spring or Summer. So much green field. Make me want to go to the mountain.

I first come to this movie after watching Liu Ye other movies such as Lan, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, City of Life and Death and A Beautiful Life. Liu Ye was so young and attractive. That innocent pure smile and look would melt many hearts.

I have seen a Scandinavian and Ireland version of Postman deliver mail in a harsh winter and bicycle in difficult countryside. This movie is more about how the father tough the son the value of caring for people in the mountain. Not sure deliver the mail, but to connect with them. In the movie showed that there were time where the cars and road available, but the father insisted that they should continue walk the narrow path. The tradition continue. Many hard work, painful path and dangerous routes, but the father convinced the son that all the pain and sweat were worth it considered it touches human hearts.

The dog 老二, to me is the main charm of the movie. Smart, royal, cute and strong. Everyone love him. He did his job, he lead, he protect, he calls, he is so lovely.

All in all. A must watch old movie. Nowadays, with internet, people probably don’t write paper letter anymore. The communication happen instantly. Miss the good old day with holding the valuable letters…

Manga

I have so much fun watching this movie. The two main cast make it so smooth. Their connection were so flow and smooth. Sato Takeru just stood out. He is one of a kind actor. I was not Japanese manga fans before, but after watching this movie, I want to get into it. They make competitors into friendship and gave them a helping hands were super cool. The duo high school kids that are smart and talented in their own way. I have learned so much how the make of manga. So much effort into it. This is a fun, funny, crazy, heartwarming movie. Give it a try. You will not regret

Awesome Kung Fu fighting

Write this review because the last review was 6 years. I have not watch this kind of genre for s while. Kind of refreshing snd fun. If you are into martial art or action, this is a fun one to watch. I found this movie after watching Andy On on “Star Runner”. Started to search for his other project. His look was awesome. In this movie he looks like Brad Pitt. For people that not use to this kind of fist fight, it might be hard to watch. The last fight scene suppose to be gross, but I laughs so hard. Not sure why. War time era, they always portrait Japan as evil. Anyway, a fun watch

Great watch.

If you like car, this movie definitely for you. If you not much into car or don’t know anything about car engine, like me, this is a very enjoyable movie.

The OST was so good. The first song st the beginning and the last song really fit the movie well.

The scenery was so beautiful. The high tech filming was unbelievable. The high angle down, the speed, the lightning, the editing was definitely the top notch.

I have only watch two race car movie that were really good. “Rush” F1 Formula. That was legend. Recently watch “Ford vs Ferrari”. When people talk about race cars, they think about Ferrari. This movie doesn’t have Ferrari, it has Japanese make cars. It has the same enthusiastic mechanics, the sponsors, the fans, the talents and style.

Now, lets talk about the acting. Mckenyu was the perfect choice for this role. He is the driving force for this movie. His eyes focus, bright, and full of desires. He looks good when he was angry, when he smile, when he was desperate, sad etc. he has they style, the energy, the charm and charismatic. I am dying looking at his muscular body. Then Takumi Kitamura, love his youth, his natural looking, gentle and pleasant look. Mashahiro playing big brother. Veteran actor. That film but soft facial tone portrait his role really well. Then young Keita, he probably not too famous back then. So four powerhouse Japanese actors in one movie. That was not to be miss. To be honest, McKenyu stole the show. That beautiful clear eyes and the body language was precious.

Overall, must watch. Love the 2 brothers downhill bicycles scenery. Among the Asian countries that can make professional race car movie well worth watching, it has to be Japan.

Beautiful story

Not going to write long review but just want to introduce this underrated movie to you. Several long time Korean actors together make it so much fun to watch. Geun Suk movie ensure beautiful music and songs. I really like his look here, as compared to his other movie. Such talented real life rock band musician/singer. This movie basically tell us that being an adult with family, career, and life responsibility and struggle, don’t forget to find joy through music. Don’t forget to persuade your dream. This guys bond again after falling down, they found joy through music. They were brave to embrace the new joy.
A must watch movie. The music ? put a smile on everyone face. Their body language are hilarious.

Always love to be the first one to write review, especially if it is a good movie.

Currently there are “Black Life Matter” movement everywhere. My friend and I read the articles about “Chinese Massacre” and “Irish Slavery” it is so sad. Then I randomly found this movie. I have never seen both of the main leads before, but now I know. I have known of many Chinese originally came to America to work on railroad. Many decided to stay, many were killed, many got kick out of the town that against their color, sad history.

I was intrigue by the background of both main lead. Clara Lee born in South Korea, grew up in Switzerland. Gregorry Gao born in Taiwan, grew up in Canada. I have been to the town he attended college and his mother came from the town I was born. Both main leads can speak multiple languages. Really amazing.

I did not give 10/10 for this movie because I thought some of the acting are not very real. The main male leads being Chinese was taller then the white American. The last scene, the violence people just stood there let those Chinese walk away?

Nevertheless, watch this movie. It us on Amazon Prime and Tubi TV app now.

Lastly- RIP Goffery Gao. You will be miss. Such prominent young man.

Another Kong Sang Ho movie. His acting is confirmed to be good. No doubt a versatile actor. One of the best Korean actor.

The movie show a regular office workers that has been struggling and unhappy with job and life overall. Getting into evening sport somehow gave him sense of purpose and so much confident for his day job. Physical sport is not the strength of office worker, but his practice and determination put himself into the ring fight. He wasn’t the best, but he just keep going.

For people that have not gotten use to watching or involve in the ring fight, it might be hard to watch so much body slamming and hurting, wonder how a person can survive such horrible body damage.

Watch it as pure entertainment, its all just acting. It shows a day job office worker were able to stood up again his supervisor bully. He finally face those street bullies. . . He is still not perfect, still clumsy, still awkward toward ladies, still not success. I like that this movie is very raw and not making the main actor into a big hero or ultra unbelievable success.

Good watch

This movie is such underrated. Not many review written. I want to bring more viewers to this movie. The movie started relaxing I thought it is a comedy. Then it suddenly turn serious, and very serious. I was yelling for JUSTICE. Come on. How can a Corrupted judge get away with such obvious injustice. .

This movie effect will not be the same if the main lead was some other actor. Song Kang Ho nailed it. One of his best performance yet. From “Joint Security Rea”to “A Taxi Driver” to “Parasite”. Wow, camera can just focus on him and no one else, he was so real to his role. He wasn’t acting, he pour his heart out to be the person in the story.

The movie own us a lot of explanation. As a viewer, naturally I want happy ending, see justice surface, see bad guys get punished and good person reunite with the family... . However, I remind myself this movie is about the attorney. He become the role model for lot of attorney in Busan to stand for justice and united. A brave soul, outspoken, wise attorney.

The OST at the last scene was perfect. I wish the movie goes on a little bit longer. I want more more more explanation, what is next. I guess people have to read the history of South Korea to get the whole story and big picture.

This is a Must see movie

This is an understed movie. Have been wanting to watch this movie for a while but couldn’t find the right source to watch it. Finally My heart is happy. Such an amazing true story. My first time watching Ju Seung Woo acting, have heard about his amazing acting, love his sweet voice, subtle facial expression, finger movement, eyes looking. I am pretty sure he won best acting award, if not I would be so disappointed.

Talking about mother’s love. Many autism parents give up on their autism child, didn’t treat them As humanly. People tense to bully autism kids. Society didn’t treat them respectfully. As far as I know, autism kids can be heartheaded. As soon as they set their goal, with proper guidance, with their unbelievably memory, they can excel.

I almost had some tears in my eyes at the end. The OST is partly causing it. The mother struggling, uncertain what is best for the child, naturally wanting to protect the child but the child had his mind set.

A must watch movie.

Love without border.

Looks like no one have written any review here, I will be the first. I am not the best in written review, but I want to introduce this old movie to more viewers. As I recall, this is a very powerful movie. I believe it is a true story.

A young common woman in western country somehow ended up in China teaching job in this small town. She fell in love with the children. She return to her home country. War started. She raise money and went back to help get the children out of the war zone. With the help of a few good people, they slowly get a few kids out a a time. It was nerve wracking. They endanger their won life to save the children. Didn’t want to be too much of a spoiler.

War is always cruel. War involved unnecessary dead. Tears and scarify. People helping people. During the harsh war, it takes determination and will power for a woman to extend her hand and heart to help children in country far away from her hometown. Love has no boundary. Children are innocent. They need help. She is the hero, the legend, the angel, the god.

Powerful movie. Worth watching. Highly recommended. It is an old movie, nevertheless, it is a true story.

I may be wrong, as I am just a common woman.

Such beautifully make movie. The two main leads make this movie masterpiece. Han Kyo Joo again deliver such a supreme act to tough everyone hearts. The way her hands/fingers gesture, her smile, her silence... was perfect. She never overact. I have not had a boring moment watching any of her movie yet. She can capture people emotion just right.

Now the main lead. He does not speak much. He just follow her around and intend to protect her. Both were wounded, one was eyesight, one were spiritually and mind wounded. Together they find happiness, support, joy, and love. Their bond were strong. He returned wounded badly again and were too shameful to speak to her again. However as a person that used to be blind, have a strong sense. By touching such as massage, she sense family body. Their adopted dog “Easy” normally very calm was acting excited and barking ran toward him. By touching his face, she confirmed that was him return. They were mean to be together. They were perfect together.

I get to be the first person to review this movie, very cool. I really enjoy it. The last time I watch “sholin” kung Fu I was a kid. Don’t think I spell “Sholin” correct LOL. This movie have great value. It remind all of us city people of how we gradually forgotten about how life suppose to be very simple, not so complicated, nature teCh us wonder. Build inner strength. Maintain our stability.

The scenery in the movie is such beauty. It remind us to listen to the sound of grass, the leave drop on water, walking the path of wisdom without violent. Building the inner strength for inner self. Discipline. The powerful drums with such control.

I had a housemate that use to practice drumming. It is one of the earliest instrument invented i the world. Was use in ancient war fights.

Not much romance in this movie. Worth watching. Learned some of the ancient sholine monk practice martial art that involve drumming.

It is said about the gangs brutally killing, plotting, and bloody fights. In contrast, this spoil gangster kid end up in a place that opposite with his city lifestyle. Took him a while and slowly self-realization, understanding, focus, gather self, listen to the nature, self-control, team work, ....

I am going to stop writing. Go ahead and watch this movie. Ou won’t regret. The drumming is really good
