Very boring subjects because they are common in west, 6 April 2004
Author: zzmale

so the movie can be best described as so-so by western standards, but by the time this movie was made in China, it was a breakthrough, and to a large extend, it is still true, simply because the topics in the movie were so common in west were simply rare in China, or at least, rarely talked about.

The topic of rape, single mom with kids in relationships are strongly condemned in the traditional Confucian teaching, according to which the victim of rape must commit suicide in order to keep her good name, and for the same reason, widows must remain single for rest of her life. This movie did a good job in criticizing such dross in the traditional feudal Confucian teaching, but it is difficult to appreciate for westerners who live in a society without such burdens.
