To Kill some time, i decided to watch a random movie from Realplayer. they have free movies, but most (actually all of them) are non-famous films. So. i picked Zhou Yu's Train (Zhou Yu de Huo Che).



It's a Mandarin Art-Fart Film. i Like it :)

It's one of those films - You either love it, or you hate it.

If you ever get to watch it, remember: I Like the Vet (Zhang Qiang).

Some Information:

Cast: Zhou Yu (Played by Gong Li)
Chen Qing (PLayed by Tony Leung)
Zhang Qiang (Played by Sun Hong Lei)
Xiu (Played by Gong Li)

(Narrated by Gong Li.)

The Main idea:

Zhou Yu - an artisan falls in love with Chen Qing - a Poet. She travels twice a week to visit him (tons of sex. thats why its rated PG13.) anyway. Their passion soon stagnates. ARGH. it's too difficult to summarize a film into a few sentences. So, go watch it yourself.




The story is set in Chongyang, China about a romantic relationship between a woman Zhou Yu and her poet lover Chen Ching. Gong Li played two characters in the movie only differ by their hair styles. The movie is pieced together with many flashbacks in no particular chronological order. The director led the audience to believe that the two women were the same person at different time. Only at the end of the movie, it was revealed that the two women were unrelated. Anyone who doesn't watch the plot closely might be totally confused by the way the movie was presented. - Wikipedia
