Children of Huang Shi, The (7)

haha.... how you feel the movie is sometime depends on who you are going with~~ not always.. but yea...~~ Children of Huang Shi, The ... I see it because it's about the Nanjing war... and Chow Yuen Fat is one of the actors... I haven't seen his movie for quite a while~~~ at the same time.. I m looking at a book from a Japanese old army about what they did in the war... it's quite a horrible topic~~

The story is about a British reporter tried to get into Nanjing to get news from there.. and somehow he changed his purpose and saved a group of young kids to escape from the war... kinda good story.. but I would say, the director just unable to handle the movie well... he kinda wasted the movie I think... honestly, if you are not a chinese and you dont know chinese... you may not see how bad the director did...~~~ it's a movie from foreigner after all~~... yup.. other than that, there are a lot of unreasonable scene which shows the director's insensitive..... It's already very odd in the first scene... when the guy take photos on what the army did to the chinese people.... his handy camera seems a bit too powerful, ya? no matter how close up he want, the camera could do... and quite a few scenes like this...~~ back to the language, I would say, the acting was sooooooo unnatural! especially when they speak in Chinese... obviously they only concentrate on remembering the scripts which they dont even understand the meaning... Some of the scenes... were just toooooo strategically showing something.... nothing wrong but just soooo unnatural..... could the actor learn just a few scripts in Chinese a tiny bit better... it's like they just provided them the english pronunciation when they went to the shooting -_-... they could spend a bit more resource I guess, in such a big movie... It does has something good tho.... haha,,, the male actor is just unreasonably handsome :D... the whole movie is very tensed... and the kids are acting quite well!!! and of cause Chow Yuen Fat
