In the airplane from US to CN, under international category, I can only find this movie. It is my first time to go back China after three years of study in US. And it is right after my first visit to Glacier National Park.
Believe or not, under that circumstance, I could not feel I am watching a Chinese movie. I feel lost in a foreign space. Maybe because not only the movie mix mainland characters with Hongkong characters, or even American hunters, but also the beautiful shangri-La view reminds me some beautiful Rocky mountain scenery in the park. It can be a story without limitation of country or culture boundaries. It would be better to keep the story only within shangri-La. Where a husband is trapped by the forest, while a wife is trapped by her longing heart. They were just lost for 7 years. It does happen to people; lost in life for a long time. You cannot move forward until you get out of the trap.
