I wonder where you saw it. Did you rent it or see it on the big screen? The international cinema at my college showed it a while back, and now I always keep an eye out for Chinese films.Joeypostmoderndad.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705938174438789379.post-37010490818135521772006-12-14T00:59:00.000-05:002006-12-14T00:59:00.000-05:00Wow - i just posted this on my blog about 10 secon...Wow - i just posted this on my blog about 10 seconds ago.

He always has cool movies. <br><br>Yeah - I just recently saw another chinese film. Beijing Bicycle.

I haven't seen Beijing bicycle. One of my favorite chinese movies is "To Live." It's about communism. There's another one--not Chinese, but about China--called Shadow Magic, about the first motion pictures in China. It's really good too.Joeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12821833183603016272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705938174438789379.post-65247780929621875532006-12-14T01:06:00.000-05:002006-12-14T01:06:00.000-05:00cool! thanks for the recommendations.

The substitute teacher is, at times, uncomfortable/awkward/hesitant in front of the camera and that endears you to her and the journey she goes through.

He didn't do any prepping of the actors before filming began, and to make it as real as possible, he tried to hide the cameras and other equipment so they could really be in their environment. That's why the movie was so realistic...because they were exactly the people they were to portray. I'd say it's pretty unique...and quite difficult to pull off. Glad you enjoyed it!raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01508488369910193796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705938174438789379.post-71912437643156072942006-12-15T18:49:00.000-05:002006-12-15T18:49:00.000-05:00doesn't that make you want to go and visit tha...doesn't that make you want to go and visit that village and talk to that teacher. i wonder if her life changed for the better after the movie...<br><br><br>so the story was real? or just the characters?Omar Haqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16987187939536047445noreply@blogger.com
