In his semi-autobiographical movie "11 Flowers," Wang Xiaoshuai has been extremely personal in presenting the spiritual and sexual awakening of a teenager. Moviegoers may identify with the film's sentiment, but still ask for more. The film is set in a rural town in southwest China in 1975, a year before the end of the Cultural Revolution. The 11-year-old boy Wang Han is receiving painting lessons from his father. His new artistic perspective encourages him to more closely observe the world around

After watching Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby", I was convinced once again of the greatness of the title character Jay Gatsby, the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and the actor Leonardo DiCaprio. But one question remained: where is the part where Gatsby says, "Her voice is full of money". It is an important statement in Fitzgerald's original novel and without it the movie is only half complete. As a result, Gatsby, despite all his charisma and positive hopes, is reduced to being just a simple-minded,

Roughly ten years ago in China, Japanese writer and translator Haruki Murakami won popular acclaim when the Chinese translation of his novel Norwegian Wood was released. The Chinese probably knew Murakami better than they did the Beatles, whose song bearing the same name could have been one source of inspiration for the Japanese writer. Ten years later, Murakami's Norwegian Wood is commanding the attention of the Chinese audience again – a film adaptation of the novel by French director Tran Anh

Sci-fi action film Pacific Rim features overwhelming visual effects. And yes, when I say overwhelming, it means the visuals are good enough to make you overlook the film's other failings. Written by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham, the story is set in the 2020s, when colossal alien monsters pass through inter-dimensional portals on the floor of the Pacific Ocean to plague the human world. In response, the Pacific Nations pool their resources and build equally colossal humanoid machines to

For weeks, Chinese movie theatres have been dominated by blockbuster action films. But in the midst of all the thundering engines of Fast 6 and the showering bullets of White House Down, there was a rather quiet piece of art that soothes your nerves. "Touch of the Light" is developed from Taiwan Director Zhang Rongji's 2008 short movie "The End of the Tunnel". In both pieces, blind pianist Huang Yuxiang presents the true story of his life. In spite of a congenital eye defect, Huang proved his

Not long after the conclusion of the Batman series, Christopher Nolan finds himself working on another DC Comics character. This time, he teams up with director Zack Snyder and screen writer David Goyer in a reboot of the Superman film series. But the movie "Man of Steel" exhibits few of Nolan's characteristic traits. It also seems that director Zack Snyder's focus has shifted to loading young moviegoers with visual stimulus, rather than examining the core themes facing all superheroes. Nolan and

Amour(爱能陪你走多远?)

French-language drama film "Amour" is one of the two best films nominated at the 85th Academy Awards, matched only by Hong Kong director Ang Lee's fantasy movie "Life of Pi." Both films excel in almost every aspect of filmmaking, and personally I can find nothing to complain about in the best foreign language film. Veteran actor Jean-Louis Trintignant and actress Emmanuelle Riva play a Parisian couple, George and Anne, in their 80s. They seem to lead an ordinary, reclusive but rather content life,

Despite taking in big earnings at the Chinese box office, the 3D computer-animated comedy "Monsters University" is yet another indicator of Pixar's loss of creativity. This forced addition to the Monsters series offers nothing new, except the varying degrees of weirdness in the appearance of the monsters. I guess the happy ending of "Monsters Inc" was an unfortunate inconvenience for the producers, forcing them to focus their limited capacity for creativity on a prequel. So, the story goes back a

Lately there has been no shortage of controversy in China's film market. A few weeks ago, the Chinese movie "Switch" raked in nearly 300 million yuan for being an incredibly awful product. Now, "Tiny Times", the first film by Chinese author and businessman Guo Jingming has provoked heated debate between Chinese viewers of different generations. Guo is a successful writer-turned-businessman. His novels were able to tap into the wallets of China's young adolescent readers to bring him quick fame and

To watch director Linklater's "Before …" series is like watching an extended edition of "One Day": both attempt to depict a love that stands the test of time. The "Before …" series, however, are much more intellectual and spontaneous. Following "Before Sunrise" in 1995 and "Before Sunset" in 2004, the newest addition to the series is "Before Midnight", released after the same interval of nine years. 18 years ago, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy each played an American man and a French woman in their

The strangest thing is going on in China's film market. The most criticized movie "Switch" made by Chinese TV producer Jay Sun now ranks the first in terms of daily grossing. Nine days after its release, the film has already secured 26 million yuan, in comparison, Hollywood blockbuster "Star Trek: Into Darkness", with higher ticket price on average, sold for just a little more than 33 million yuan in three weeks. It is an interesting phenomenon because "Switch" is widely considered an awful movie

If Cate Blanchett were to win the best actress Oscar this year, I wouldn't be surprised. Her presence simply dominates and shines through Woody Allen's new film "Blue Jasmine". Hers is a stereotypical character: a woman who gets used to living on the love of her rich husband. When that love is taken away, her life plunges into a bottomless abyss. To be more precise, Jeanette was an orphan girl in third-year college before she met a rich man who swept her off her feet, married her and introduced her

An unmatched couple is perhaps humanity’s longest-living fairy tale. By unmatched I mean a rich, good looking wife and a poor homely husband. This type of combination certainly was rare in the age of arranged marriage, but even in our time, the 21st century, we can still find few examples. Personally I’ve seen none, except for those written in fictions or faked on screen. Taiwan romantic drama film “Say Yes” is the latest addition to the on-screen make-believe. In the movie, Huang Bo plays an

"So Young" is Chinese actress Zhao Wei's Beijing Film Academy graduation assignment, and also her directorial debut. 15 years ago, Zhao Wei became a household name for her role in the Chinese TV series "Princess Pearl". The series, which has been extended overseas in recent years, was the most viewed Chinese TV drama of its time. Her popularity on screen has continued ever since and her first directed film has set a new opening-day box office record for Chinese movies. However, the film has not

When you decide to watch Tsui Hark's new film, "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," don't be fooled by its title. The word "detective" doesn't guarantee a detective story, but a crime-action film packed with magnificent action scenes with the aid of upgraded filming gadgets and technique. In his latest outing, the Hong Kong director presents a prequel to his 2010 box office hit, "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame". The story traces the footstep of Tang Dynasty official,

The romantic comedy film "Finding Mr. Right" could have been a lame chick flick, at least that's how I thought about it before actually seeing it. But after two hours in the cinema, I am now officially a big fan of its director Xue Xiaolu. Before this piece, Xue had already made her name in the movie industry with the 2010 Hong Kong drama film "Ocean Heaven." Her new movie is a tentative approach toward commercial production, and it has turned out to be a huge success, winning more than 400 million

"The closer you look, the less you'll see." The magicians reiterated this magic sentence in director Louis Leterrier's caper thriller, "Now You See Me." The magicians' audiences are warned of the performers' prowess, but still miss the critical movement every time. So is the same with Chinese moviegoers in front of the big screen. While the director tries desperately to convince audiences that magic shows are important because they make people happy, the majority of Chinese audiences are

Chinese science-fiction fans and gamers must be excited at the release of Gavin Hood's screen adaptation of the celebrated futuristic thriller, "Ender's Game." On China's social network website, Douban.com, there have already been book reviews on the original novel of the same name by American author Orson Scott Card. Many of them were anxiously looking forward to seeing the Nebula Award winning sci-fi classic being brought onto the big screen. The movie's launch in China on January 7th is sort of

Cute, lovely, adorable, how many words with the same connotation can you come up with?
