To Live is a classic! Chutecha.. thanks for reminding me. Gong Li is brilliant in that movie. 30 eyars of Chinese history in less than 3 hrs. The House of the Flying Daggers..Zhang didn't make it for China. He made it for Hollywood. The Road Home is a good movie.. but compared to other Zhang movies, its alright. I won't give it a 5 star rating. Don't get me wrong, it has everything you expect in a Zhang movie- brilliant photography, a good story line, great actors and all that... The most impressive scene in that movie is when the mom is telling the story.. and slowly black and white starts to fade.. replacing it with vivid colors of a Chinese countryside and you see this close up of youg Zhang Ziyi in her colorful clothes.. that's just brilliant. Yiou might alos be interested in the Golden Bear winner at the Cannes: Farewell my Conccubine by Chen Kaige. Its a long movie but worth it. This Christmas anther big movie will be released- Memoirs of a Geisha, with Zhang Ziyi playing the Geisha girl.
