Chinadoog Posted August 6, 2010 at 03:17 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 03:17 AM Hey guys. What's the last Chinese film that you watched? The last one I watched is called Blind Shaft (盲井). It's really good and creepy. Definitely worth checking out! 1 Quote
muirm Posted August 6, 2010 at 04:47 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 04:47 AM We just watched a film called 一聲嘆息. It is essentially the story of an extra-marital affair in modern day China. It was okay, but not really my cup of tea as far as movies go. Quote
gougou Posted August 6, 2010 at 05:46 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 05:46 AM The last movie I watched was 滚拉拉的枪, a great movie about the life of Miao villagers in rural Guizhou. Heartily recommended to anybody who wants to learn more about rural China and in the process see some heartwarmingly kind people. I watched the screening at the Broadway Cinematheque, where the director was present and told some awesome stories about the filming of the movie, which used only amateur actors. For instance, one of the main actors, the 80-some year old grandmother of the protagonist, apparently was just as hard to deal with as your average movie star, sometimes declaring in the middle of a take that she had enough for the day and that they could continue the next day.

MakMak Posted August 6, 2010 at 06:24 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 06:24 AM I want to watch 葉問2! I loved the first one! Last one I watched was 十月圍城. I recommend it and I also recommend not overwatching the trailer too! Quote
Benzi Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:37 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:37 AM I watched Assembly..didn't really like it, some good parts, but overall disappointing (or I missed the hidden plot?) Quote
HerrPetersen Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:42 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:42 AM I watched "The Jungle Book" in Chinese. Hope that counts 2 Quote

Sinanthropus Posted August 6, 2010 at 11:57 AM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 11:57 AM red cliff/Chi Bi... china version, epic. I realise it was released two years ago, but only got round to watching it recently. Quote
aristotle1990 Posted August 6, 2010 at 12:05 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 12:05 PM Kung Fu Panda (功夫熊猫) in Chinese. Kinda ran out of Chinese movies I wanted to see, and I thought if I had to start watching American movies dubbed in Mandarin, it'd be better/more authentic if they had something to do with China. Besides, aren't most movies originally filmed in Chinese just redubbed in Chinese anyway? 2 Quote
Dashu Posted August 6, 2010 at 01:36 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 01:36 PM 畫皮 (Painted Skin). Awesome movie, although I didn't understand much the first time I saw it. Quote
hanyu_xuesheng Posted August 6, 2010 at 02:34 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 02:34 PM 我的父亲母亲 (The Road Home). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Home_(1999_film) Great film. :rolleyes: 2 Quote
jbradfor Posted August 6, 2010 at 03:57 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 03:57 PM Tai Chi Master. Really liked it. Thought it was one of the more enjoyable kungfu movies I've seen in a while. Quote
Gleaves Posted August 6, 2010 at 04:41 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 04:41 PM The last movie I watched in Chinese was a Detective Conan movie dub (名侦探柯南:引爆摩天楼) The last Chinese movie I watched was Internal Affairs (无间道). I was really late on that one. 1 Quote
SiMaKe Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:01 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:01 PM I also enjoyed 我的父亲母亲 (The Road Home). Have seen it a couple of times. Similarly for 饮食男女 (Eat, Drink, Man, Woman) 推手 (Pushing Hands). Another one, by Zhang Yimou, is 活着 (To Live). Actually, the last movie I saw was 叶问2:宗师传奇(Ip Man 2) in a theater shortly after it was released. This was my first introduction to the story of Yip Man and the link to Bruce Lee. (I know, what planet have I been living on. :rolleyes: ) 1 Quote
Jane_PA Posted August 6, 2010 at 10:59 PM Report Posted August 6, 2010 at 10:59 PM I watched 走路上学 in the U.S. a couple of months ago. That is a good movie except for some plot was too dramatic... Quote
doraemon Posted August 7, 2010 at 01:52 AM Report Posted August 7, 2010 at 01:52 AM I don't watch as many Chinese movies as I do for dramas, but this was also the film I last watched. Quote
jbradfor Posted August 7, 2010 at 01:58 AM Report Posted August 7, 2010 at 01:58 AM Just watched Overheard today. [i assume Hong Kong movies count?] Overall liked it a lot as well, not at all a typical HK crime drama. And rather sad, although with a cathartic ending. Quote
skylee Posted August 7, 2010 at 05:09 AM Report Posted August 7, 2010 at 05:09 AM It has now become 唐山大地震. Quote
liuzhou Posted August 8, 2010 at 05:29 AM Report Posted August 8, 2010 at 05:29 AM 歲月神偷 (Echoes of the Rainbow) IMDB Quote
