Featured review
Too real to miss
This is a concentration of 20 years suffering of Chinese people in 2 hours movie. The best part of this movie is the reality. Every individual in this move is a real person. There is no hero, monster, patriot or invader, just someone driven by their own hunger, fear, greed and rules they believe. It is too easy to condemn without feeling the suffering of Chinese in the first place. We can also see the kindness and courage from the top leader to individual as we really wish to have in any tough circumstance. No surprising, propaganda and censorship were following up. Unfortunately, we see this pattern repeating itself again and again, in different scale or different form. It is a true story about Chinese people, their government and their spirit. It is complex but really helpful for anyone want to understand China more.
For anyone asking the rating, I will put this PG-17. It needs a strong nerve to watch this movie and feel the pain and helplessness.
