Back in 2012, a Chinese conglomorate acquired the AMC theaters. Dalian Wanda (大連è¬é”）group became the world’s largest cinema chain. Most of us have been oblivious on this event and went our merry ways watching movies, or being with friends we met at Chatempanada.com. Then, one day, Wife suggested that we go see this one. “Sure,” I said, really more out of curiosity.
It was a touching movie set in the western city of ChongQing, a hilly city. Three couples struggled the daily grinds and tried to find love and meaning of lives. The tragedy heaet-felt, the acting very well, and the play well written. I liked the movie, even as a romantic chick flick.
It was in Chinese with English sub-title. The whole theater, a weekend matinee show, has total of 7 viewers. I needed to search in Chinese to find the poster picture.
The movie really explored the singular topic of “What do women really want?” And, of course, the flip side of the coin, “What can a man give to her?” I went out of the theater thinking of this for several days. For that, the movies worked. Of course, I really should have written this blog in Chinese, since I really don’t recommend it for my American friends.
