Good story, Not enough for a whole film
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
The literal translation of the title of this movie is: Long Live Youth.This movie made in the early era of reform in China had carefully and subtly explored something that was alway avoided in Chinese culture, incest rape. This subtle approach was difficult to see because it was disguised in the form of depicting the era before the revolution. Since it was just barely more than half a decade before the end of the Cultural Revolution, the film crew understandably took a very cautious approach on this extremely sensitive topic by eulogizing the post revolutionary era regime and criticizing the old regime. Nonetheless, it was a significant small step toward facing the reality.
