film review

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

I rented Qui Ju Guansi (The story of Qui Ju ) made in 1992.
The story is about a woman who is looking for justice after
her husband was kicked between the legs by the head of
thier village. They say this movie is a comedy howevere,
I found nothing funny about it. I dont know if I missed
something but I was bored to death.

Please post your film reviews in the "film festival" section of the Asia in My Classroom forum.

The Story of Qiu Ju is the only one of Zhang Yimou's 1980s and 1990s films to be really popular among Chinese. Many Chinese complain that he makes films more for foreign audiences than for them. His movies the past several years, though, have received awards and attracted large audiences in China.

Qiu Ju strikes Chinese as funny and real because the woman goes up against authority and demands justice. They laugh as this countrywoman heads into the city, not knowing what to do or where to go.
