Emotions Common to All Races
Although the adorable little boy at the core of this movie is barely seen, without him there would be no story. This is a movie about the love of a father for a son. In Chinese religion.

Aptly Titled
This movie simply didn't grip me. I watch a lot of Chinese movies, and I'm well aware of the drama for Chinese living and society - for all the glam that is currently hyped on it now.

Emotions Common to All Races,
By Artist & Author (Near Mt. Baker, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drifters (DVD)
Although the adorable little boy at the core of this movie is barely seen, without him there would be no story. This is a movie about the love of a father for a son. In Chinese religion. I believe parents need children to honor them after death for religious reasons. Therefore, this is more than just a father-child love movie; it is also somewhat a religious movie and that adds to the father's desires for his son. The main value of the movie, first, is the glimpse it gives of Chinese culture. Second, it shows common emotional experiences for all races. Third, it shows some of the problems caused by illegal immigration. All are good reasons to watch the movie.

Yet this movie had nothing to offer, but long silences, slow sequences and an implausible - nearly non-existent! - story line. Bleak countryside, a sullen protagonist, a desperate heroine all make for 2 hours better spent doing something else. What a disappointment from the director of 'In Love We Trust'!
