Zi ri (2001)
an excellent film about war and humanity
I saw the film last night and it impressed me a lot. It is really a good film. The film not only focused on the war but also focused on the humanity that all people in the world share. It told us how war will destroy the nature of people.
Although the beginning of the film is a little stereotype, the story itself is very smooth. It tells us a story about a Chinese peasant, a Russian woman soldier and a Japanese schoolgirl. The three guys met together by accident and tried to walk out of a forest. The story is really amazing. The end of the film moved me to tears. It seemed that in the war, no one would be the winner.
I think it's much better than the so called "Chinese Big Movies" such as "Golden Flowers" made by Mr.Zhang Yimou and "Banquet" by Mr.Feng Xiaogang.
Mr. Feng Xiaoning,the director of this film, has produced a lot of movies about wars. It seemed that he's really like stories about wars.
