A Soul Haunted by Painting (1994)

A traditional Chinese 90s film.

[5/10 · 26 November 2007]

To see the about 35-year-old Tung-shing Yee's playing is why I try to search for this film and got to watch it. Unfortunately, it does not amazed me so much but gave me lots of chances to feel uncomfortable at the everywhere Chinese movie tradition, like the familiar faces from Shanghai, the city and the hometown of Director Hwang, the inproper repeating appearance of the same supporting actors and the poor cosmetics of Yee at Pan's old ages. Anyway the lament ending, especially the ending of the Pans' in China some what tells us something about the afterwards of China 1949 and tries to imply about the Culture Revolution, but at last did not and could not gave it clearly. At the beginning I catch the film's step closely but could not help leaping along at the latter part:)
